Colorado Xanax Addiction Treatment

Also known as alprazolam, Xanax is the registered name for this member of the benzodiazepine family. Find more information on our Colorado Xanax addiction treatment program here.

Xanax is often prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety caused by depression.

Xanax is the number one American-prescribed psychiatric medication. An Addiction Center survey discovered that over seventy percent of those who started using this drug as teens and developed a Xanax addiction started with a supply in their parents’ medicine cabinet.

Further, according to a CBS News report in 2011, Xanax was the eleventh most prescribed drug in the US in 2011 and, as of 2018, is now among the top 9 prescribed medications.

Recent media reports show a high level of concern that Xanax and other drugs like it are being overused in Colorado. According to a 2018 report by the National Institute of Drug Abuse Colorado deaths related to benzodiazepines like Xanax have doubled in the years from 2003 to 2012. Xanax abuse is rapidly increasing.

In 2011, the Drug Abuse Warning Network reported that nearly ten percent of all emergency department visits related to the abuse of prescription drugs of benzodiazepine families like Xanax.

AspenRidge Recovery has the information and Xanax addiction treatment programs necessary to help.

What is Xanax?

Xanax prescriptions come in 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, one and two mg strengths. Two mg tablets are white, green, or yellow rectangles. The other strengths are oval. 0.25 mg tablets are white. 0.5 mg tablets are orange. One mg tablets are blue. These are all scheduled IV controlled substances.

Its pharmaceutical name is alprazolam. Typically, the dosage is based on the medical condition, age, and response to treatment. As it is in the family of benzodiazepines, Xanax works similarly in that it acts on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. Much like benzos (link to benzo page), Xanax also enhances the interaction of brain chemicals in the body, frequently referred to as GABA.

How Does Xanax Work?

Users taking Xanax will feel peak effects happen within an hour or two. Often, misuse and abuse of the prescription involves users taking tablets too much or resorting to snorting, injecting, or ingesting the powdered version as the effects are felt much sooner, as well as it’s more potent. Xanax stays in your system for twelve to fifteen hours.

During that time, Xanax users may feel calm, relaxed, quiet, or tired. Drugs like cocaine or heroin produce “high” or euphoric feelings. Xanax users describe their feeling as mellow, or carefree. Some Xanax users have reported blackouts, passing out, or falling asleep. Others have experienced memory losses of up to several hours.

AspenRidge Xanax Treatment Program

Overuse or misuse of prescription Xanax can result in drug dependency and addiction. At this stage, your body can become highly dependent on prescription medicine and may result in increased use.

Similarly, abuse of the drug can mean users build up a tolerance causing abuse in order to feel the same desired effects of calmness and euphoria.

Additionally, Xanax addiction can eventually cause withdrawal symptoms when a prescription medicine is no longer available. Withdrawal symptoms can include:

Headaches
Blurred Vision
Muscle Pain
Loss of Appetite
Insomnia
Heart Palpitations
Anxiety
Paranoia
Seizures

Your level of dependence has reached the addiction stage when you are physically and mentally incapable of stopping the use of this drug regardless of its negative effects.
