Rehab and detox programs for pharmaceutical and psychotropic prescribed medications is the newest and most fascinating developing science and art.
Benzodiazepine detox and rehab is the science of helping your body detoxify, work correctly and rapidly regenerate itself. Benzo detox is the art of skillfully assisting a person to return natural functioning while making the rehabilitation process as smooth as humanly possible.
Benzo Detox and Benzo Effects
Many people detoxing from lorazepam are struggling due to the accumulated toxic effects of benzos. Benzodiazepines are designed to break down natural metabolizing cellular processes to attempt a longer acting benzo effect. This is promoted by pharmaceutical giants as a benefit or therapeutic quality of specific benzos like Klonopin or Xanax.
The problem is that detoxing from benzodiazepines is hampered because of this intended slowing or suppressing of natural metabolic functioning which benzos produce. The benzo effect while taking say Lorazepam or Ativan is one of complete sedation. Lorazepam is shorter acting and more powerful and so a person may experience ‘instant’ relief. Detoxification from benzodiazepines are now made difficult.
Lorazepam has a short acting sedation effect. This effect is somewhat like drinking alcohol, it effects the entire person, judgment, concentration, mood.
When detoxing from Lorazepam, the sedative effect wears off quickly. If you’re comparing this to a hangover, here’s the problem: alcohol is quickly and easily metabolized by most people. Benzodiazepines are not always easily metabolized. Nerve damage, intoxication, organic over-stimulation, stress reactions on a 24/7 alert: these benzo effects are a major part of the detox problem that needs to be healed. Natural rehabilitation is only real cure from an extended benzodiazepine withdrawal symptom (PAWS).
Benzo Detox and Healing
An important distinction to recognize is the difference between detoxing, suffering and healing.
Suffering does not mean detoxifying or healing.
Healing doesn’t equate to suffering.
Detoxing should not imply suffering or hurting extensively for months or years. Rapidly rescuing a person from benzodiazepine toxic overload is done through intensively detoxing, healing, nutrition and regeneration support.
Pharmaceuticals alone never heal. Sometimes they assist the body to heal itself and function within a normal band without damaging the health of the person. This is the proper place and function of pharmaceutical therapy.
Healing through a benzo or Xanax detoxification is done through an intensified healing program designed and tailored to the individual at their exact stage of detox. It’s generally more complex than you might think or expect. The intensive testing, therapy and work required to help a person effectively through a benzo detox should be admired and respected by those finding the right benzo detox centers and medical experts to work with.
Living well means working with the most advanced science available. Much of this scientific medical knowledge is within the scope and experience of the individual practitioner. Until these medical detox experts are teaching med students in college, you’re best off working directly with them.
