By choosing Banbury Lodge, you or your loved one will receive the support and guidance needed to overcome your condition and embark on the path to a healthier, more fulfilling life. Inpatient Xanax rehab requires you to stay at a treatment facility like Banbury Lodge while you are completing your treatment programme. Outpatient Xanax rehab allows you to attend therapy sessions while living at home so you can take care of your normal everyday responsibilities. This can seem like a more favourable treatment option but it means you will still be exposed to your triggers and have access to Xanax. Our admissions team is on hand 24/7 to help answer any questions about our programmes and make sure your loved one gets the support they need.

This prevents brain signals that provoke anxiety or panic, and can also trigger the brain’s reward system as the user experiences pleasant relaxation. At Banbury Lodge, our Xanax rehab begins with Xanax detox which is the process of eliminating the drug from your system, breaking physical dependence and managing withdrawal safely. All forms of prescription drug rehab begin with this stage as it gives you a clean slate to begin therapy.

However, for a businessman or woman who flies several times a month, psychotherapy is recommended. When benzos were introduced to the market in the 1950s, there was excitement as they were considered safer compared to barbiturates, which had been used to treat anxiety. By the 1970s, benzos made it to the list of the most highly prescribed medications. Benzodiazepines are a class of anti-anxiety medications, or anxiolytics, that increases the activity of the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors in the brain.

Xanax when prescribed by a doctor, is managed accordingly and this transparency reduces the dangers of taking it quite significantly. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that self-medicating can be extremely harmful especially when it comes to controlled drugs. We do not offer specific health advice, nor are we a remote clinical advice service (RCA). We can, with your consent, pass your details to our partners that can offer this. Our helpline advisers can kickstart your pre-admissions process and offer a helping hand in this difficult time.

Can anyone take Xanax?

This situation is exacerbated in the US by the role of privatised healthcare. Big pharmaceutical companies encourage doctors to prescribe their products – even if the prescription is unnecessarily – in place of more effective but less profitable treatments, such as counselling. These manufacturers have no qualms with mixing their produce with other substances, in order to decrease their costs and maximise their profits. This includes drugs such as fentanyl, an opiate that has taken the lives of over 100 people in the UK already. If opioids have also been taken, or if unsure what has been taken, naloxone should be administered in line with the naloxone take-home programme. Although naloxone will not reverse the effects of benzodiazepine drugs like Xanax, it will reverse the effects of any opioid present.

If you have been diagnosed with GAD, you’ll usually be advised to try psychological treatment before you’re prescribed medication. If you have other problems alongside GAD, such as depression or alcohol misuse, these may need to be treated before you have treatment specifically for GAD. The different kinds of “benzodiazepines” vary in how quickly they take effect and how long the effect lasts.

Benzodiazepines work by influencing the central nervous system, inducing muscle relaxation and producing sedation, while at the same time lowering anxiety levels. When used in small, controlled doses, they can have a positive impact on the patient’s quality of life that would otherwise be affected by issues such as seizures or insomnia (only used for brief periods). Nevertheless, their potential for abuse is high, given their calming effects.

While there are people who take alcohol and Xanax together unthinkingly, there are also people who intentionally mix these two substances with the goal of enhancing their effects. Drug users who have a high level of tolerance often find ways on how they can enhance the effects of the drug they are taking. Some users mix alcohol with Xanax as an easier way to intensify the effect without taking more pills.

When profit is put before people, it is ordinary people that lose out every time. These predatory healthcare companies, meanwhile, circle overhead like vultures. One arm of the American company UnitedHealth Group, Optum, is already known to be working within the NHS, providing business services such as contract negotiation. The number of children treated for tranquiliser addiction has doubled in a year amid concern about rising teenage anxiety and recreational use of Xanax.
