Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment in Chattanooga, TN

We work tirelessly for our clients in order to achieve recovery, as we want to be the first call when people require assistance at a benzo addiction treatment center. Benzos may cause the following long-term problems:

• It's possible to lose a great deal of weight. Benzos decrease a person's appetite, which can help them lose weight and even develop anorexia.
• Symptoms of benzo use disorder include a return of past fears, anxiety about obtaining more sedatives, and paranoia.
• Benzo-induced sedation can begin to have an effect on normal sleep patterns once the brain becomes accustomed to it.
• The body might also react to benzo abuse through tremors and muscle spasms.
• Loss of memory. Long-term users can cause permanent memory damage.

• With our supervision and help, the patient will gradually decrease the amount of benzos ingested over a predetermined timeline.
• Cognitive behavioral therapy. This type of treatment is all about recognizing destructive behaviors and triggers for benzo usage along with effective ways to cope with them.
• Contingency management. Reward-based treatments motivate the patient to refrain from using benzos.
• Group therapy. We often recommend the emotional support that group therapy can offer, from identifying with others suffering from benzo use disorder to sharing your own thoughts and emotions.
• Family therapy. We know that benzo abuse can lead patients to turn their backs on family, so our skilled counselors can work with all of you together to mend relationships and gain more support.
• After-care planning. Iris Wellness Group will also help you envision and achieve life after your recovery from benzo addiction.
