Benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed for anxiety and sleep disorders, but long-term use or misuse can lead to dangerous dependency. At Lanier Recovery Center, we provide ethical, evidence-based outpatient care in Atlanta designed to help clients safely withdraw from benzodiazepines and build the skills needed for lifelong recovery. Our clinical team works closely with each client to create a personalized plan grounded in integrity, empathy, and lasting change.
Benzodiazepines (benzos) are a class of central nervous system depressants prescribed to reduce anxiety, treat insomnia, and manage seizures. Common benzodiazepines include Xanax (alprazolam), Klonopin (clonazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), and Valium (diazepam).
When used as prescribed, benzos can be effective short-term treatments. However, prolonged use or taking higher doses than recommended can lead to dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms—making it difficult to stop without professional help.
Short-term effects:
Long-term effects and risks:
Suddenly stopping benzos can result in severe withdrawal symptoms, including seizures, hallucinations, and panic attacks. Tapering under medical supervision is often required.
Many people begin using benzodiazepines with a valid prescription. Over time, their body becomes dependent, and they may begin taking larger doses or combining benzos with other substances, such as alcohol or opioids, increasing the risk of overdose.
