THE FACTS OF ATIVAN ADDICTION

Here at Passages Addiction Cure Center, we have come to understand that there are only four causes of all dependency:

1. Chemical imbalance in the brain;
2. Unresolved events from the past;
3. Beliefs you hold that are inconsistent with what is true;
4. An inability to cope with current conditions.

Notice that we do not list genetics as an underlying cause, because there are millions of people in the United States whose parents and grandparents were alcoholics or addicts and they are not. Either they do not drink or use drugs at all, or they can use in social situations without becoming dependent. Neither do we claim that relapse is due to the “incurable disease” of alcoholism or addiction. We know that neither addiction nor alcoholism are diseases, but are symptoms of at least one of the four underlying causes. Once these causes have been discerned and healed, dependence on drugs, alcohol or addictive behavior ceases.

Drug rehab is necessary when someone becomes dependent on addictive substances and is causing damage to their lives as well as the lives of their loved ones due to the aforementioned underlying causes. One of the many drugs for which Passages Addiction Cure Center in Malibu offers holistic treatment is Ativan (Lorazepam), an anti-anxiety prescription medication in the benzodiazepine family.

To clarify, benzodiazepines make us sleepy and calm, slowing down nerve signals and causing us to relax. This family of benzodiazepines includes Valium (diazepam), Xanax (alprazolam), and others. Compared to other benzodiazepines, Ativan has a relatively high dependency potential.

Ativan is mostly used to manage anxiety disorders, providing short-term relief from the symptoms of anxiety as well as anxiety symptoms associated with depression. Ativan is also used as a sedative, anticonvulsant, a muscle relaxant, and in treating panic disorders.

SAFE AND SECURE ATIVAN DETOX WITH PASSAGES ADDICTION CURE CENTER IN MALIBU

Unfortunately, continuous and sustained Ativan use can create symptoms of withdrawal when the medication is stopped. These symptoms are varied and can include insomnia, panic attacks, tremors, muscle cramps, vomiting, sweating, anxiety, watery eyes, dizziness, fainting, loss of appetite, bone aches, muscle aches, headaches, hallucinations, irritability, diarrhea, chills, paranoia, convulsions, heart palpitations, rapid breathing, tachycardia (fast pulse), apathy, delirium, depression, disorientation, fatigue, excessive periods of sleep, seizures and even psychosis (a mental state in which a person loses contact with reality). In some cases, death can occur.

Frequent administration of Ativan can easily and quickly lead to dependency, and shortly thereafter tolerance begins to build, although the length of time it takes to become dependent on a drug to the point where one will experience withdrawal symptoms is different for every person and every drug.

A few weeks away from the drug is usually enough for the withdrawal symptoms to pass, although cravings can continue for many weeks, months, even years if the underlying problems that created the need for the drug in the first place are not discovered and healed.

Fortunately, Passages Addiction Cure Center in Malibu offers a safe and secure Ativan detox program in which you or your loved one will receive 24/7 nursing to make sure that you or your loved one is safe and comfortable.

You can read a full description of how to discover and heal the underlying conditions in Chris Prentiss’s book, The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure. Chris is Co-Founder and Co-Director of Passages Addiction Cure Center in Malibu, California, the world’s most effective center for curing dependency on all drugs and addictive behavior.

ALL DEPENDENCY IS A SYMPTOM, NOT A PROBLEM

Our treatment program doesn’t end with detox. Passages is built upon the philosophy that every person who abuses drugs or alcohol does so because he or she is self-medicating an underlying problem that is the original reason for turning to addictive substances. A person’s resultant dependency is merely a symptom of these underlying causes; drug dependency is how we numb the pain that the underlying problems are causing.

Once someone stops taking Ativan, he or she will experience a return of the symptoms that was the cause of using the drug in the first place. If those underlying problems are not treated, the return of these symptoms may be so great that he or she will most likely go back to using Ativan to obtain relief.

Because of this fundamental understanding, we have created a holistic treatment program that is designed to discover and heal each person’s underlying problems. All of the clients at Passages receive hand-tailored treatment programs designed by a ten-person team of highly skilled therapists, which meets their individual treatment needs. We offer programs for all kinds of addiction, including OxyContin rehab as well as opium rehab.

A holistic approach to total recovery from alcohol and drug dependency.

We invite you to read our life-saving book, THE ALCOHOLISM AND ADDICTION CURE, which is showing people the world over how to completely and permanently put an end to dependency on drugs, alcohol and addictive behavior right there where they live.
