Individualized Detox to
Ease Clients Gently Into Recovery
Florida Center for Recovery
At Florida Center for Recovery, Xanax addiction treatment often starts with detox. Treatment plans follow individualized protocols tailored according to the clients' needs based on length of abuse and addiction, severity of withdrawal symptoms and associated medical and psychological issues. During this delicate detox process, our medical staff is available on-site 24/7 to ensure the safety and comfort of our clients. After completing detoxification, clients recovering from a Xanax addiction are recommended to attend inpatient addiction treatment, as detox alone does not treat the underlying reasons for Xanax abuse. Inpatient Rehab, aka, Residential Rehab, is offered at Florida Center for Recovery in a temptation-free, safe and compassionate environment, where on-going supportive counseling services are delivered on a daily basis by experienced addiction treatment professionals. Our prescription drug addiction treatment programs utilize a range of addiction treatment perspectives combining Western bio-medical care, psychotherapy, and Eastern holistic complimentary therapies including detox massage, light bodywork, yoga, chiropractic care and acupuncture.

Xanax is used to relieve symptoms of anxiety, including anxiety caused by depression. It is also used to treat panic disorder in some patients. Xanax is a benzodiazepine. Benzodiazepines belong to the group of medicines called central nervous system (CNS) depressants, which are medicines that slow down the nervous system.
Since Xanax, including its generic form, Alprazolam, is the most widely-prescribed of the benzodiazepines to treat patients suffering from anxiety and panic disorders, it is also the most widely abused in the drug's category. More often than not, patients are unaware of Xanax's addictive properties, causing dependency even if they are taking the drug exactly as prescribed. Unfortunately, many other individuals recreationally abuse Xanax attempting to experience a "high" (an intense euphoric reaction to a drug). However, the side effects can be very difficult to endure. Some of the symptoms experienced consist of delirium, seizures, slurred speech, weakness, impaired coordination, and vertigo. Xanax is more often abused by simply taking multiple pills, but it can be injected (this causes closure of blood vessels and decay of muscle tissue), snorted or even taken via blotter paper. In either case, initially used as a treatment for mental health conditions, or abused for a "high", Xanax withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous and even fatal. The withdrawal symptoms are similar to that of alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal. The severity of the withdrawal is directly linked to the length of use, dosage frequency, dosage strength, previous use of cross-dependent or cross-tolerant drugs, and the manner in which the dosage is reduced. Therefore Xanax addiction treatment often starts with medical detox.
Individuals who abuse Xanax may exhibit a number of signs and symptoms. However, not all abusers will react to the drug in the same way. While signs and symptoms of abuse may vary from person to person, most people exhibit certain symptoms and behavior indicative of an abuse problem. Signs of Xanax abuse include:
