Ativan Rehabilitation Through A Holistic Cure For Your Dependency
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.
THE FACTS OF ATIVAN ADDICTION
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. No one at Passages slips through the cracks
because we have the highest staff-to-client ratio of any facility
in the country. For every client, we have 3 Passages
staff members, all working towards your permanently sober
future. We pride ourselves on taking excellent care of our
clients.
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.

TOTAL RECOVERY THROUGH OUR INTENSIVE, INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT APPROACH
The treatment paradigm in our country, and indeed the rest
of the world, must change if we want to overcome dependency.
However, achieving this goal is difficult when treatment programs
are still treating alcoholism and addiction as if they are
the problems, when, in fact, they have nothing to do with
the problems. Neither will group meetings work if they are
the primary basis of the treatment program. They are not offering
enough one-to-one counseling. In almost every treatment center
in the world, 96 to 97 percent of their programs consist of
group meetings with only one individual session a week. Here
at Passages, we know that this method is ineffective because
each client has a unique social history, a unique medical
history, a unique set of problems that is influencing his
or her life, a unique cause of what drove them to become dependent,
and therefore needs a unique treatment program to discover
the causes of the dependency and to heal them.
As an analogy for group substance rehab, imagine ten people
waiting in a doctor’s office, one with cancer, one with
a broken arm, another with measles, and a fourth with flu
and so on. Now imagine that they all receive the same treatment.
Of course this blanket method would be largely ineffective.
The same logic applies to drug
and alcohol
rehab treatment.
With more than 65 private one-to-one sessions a month, we
offer an extensive amount of treatment for each of our clients,
locating the root causes of their dependencies and unearthing
the particular reasons for which they have reached for drugs
or alcohol. One-to-one sessions are key because the individual
issues at the core of dependency are just that—completely
individual.
Here at Passages Addiction Cure Center in Malibu, we are
a drug
rehab and alcohol
rehab treatment center that only wishes for you to realize
the potential that you have and the power that you have to
end your dependency. And we’re here to help you along
the way to your complete and permanent Ativan addiction cure.
Your Ativan dependency is not a disease over which you have
no control. It’s not even a disease at all. Take a step
toward your individualized drug addiction cure today. Full
recovery from dependency is absolutely possible, and at Passages
Addiction Cure Center, highly probable. Call us now, toll
free at to speak with one of our intake counselors
today.
And remember, we believe in a cure, and we believe in you!
