Benzodiazepine addiction rehab is the professional assistance a person needs to safely break free from a dependency on any number of drugs, such as xanax, valium or Ativan. The vast majority of benzodiazepine addicts have been using these drugs for many years when they conclude they want to kick their addiction, and they have grown physically and emotionally dependent on these drugs, making abstinence difficult without medical intervention. In most cases, rehab using a medically overseen detox will be the first stage in the program, withthe help of professionals to make the detox process as smooth as possible. In a residential setting, such professional supervision also occurs throughout the course of therapy and counseling sessions, helping patients understand why they became addicted in the first place, and how they can reach a newand healthier prescription drug freelife without relapse.
