At Passages, patients can resolve Valium addiction with expert treatment. All cases of Valium addiction stem from four major causes:

1. Imbalances in brain chemistry.
2. Unresolved traumatic incidents from years past.
3. Deeply held beliefs inconsistent with reality.
4. Issues coping with current challenges and conditions.

At Passages, the experts understand that Valium addiction is ultimately a symptom of these deeply rooted causes and that it is not an "incurable disease" as thought by many in the addiction industry. Passages does not point to genetics as an originating cause of addiction, drawing from the countless individuals worldwide who develop Valium addiction without a single family member sharing a history of chemical dependency. Likewise, there are people who witness the painful addictions of loved ones, but can drink in moderation or never to touch alcohol or drugs at all. Once the individual understands the underlying causes of addiction, the desire to use Valium will dissipate.

At Passages, clients can experience full healing beyond the cycle of continual relapse. Relapse is not a reflection of the addicted individual. Clinical experience shows that relapse does not have to occur in the recovery process. Relapse merely indicates that prior drug rehabilitation did not treat the root physical or psychological issues that caused addiction. Once the individual resolves the core causes of Valium addiction, true freedom from chemical dependency is available.

Valium, sometimes going by the name diazepam, has medical use. Valium can treat a wide variety of conditions including insomnia, anxiety, alcohol withdrawal and convulsions. Though in use for over four decades, Valium has high potential for abuse and addiction. Valium stays in the body for longer periods than many other drugs. Valium has a long half-life, which is the amount of time it takes for the drug to reach 50 percent of its original concentration in the body. This lengthy half-life of six days causes the detoxification process to prolong, taking nearly a week to reach half-potency. This process continues until the body completely removes Valium from the system, often requiring seven cycles for the body to completely detoxify.

Multiple doses compound this half-life phenomenon, increasing the amount of Valium in the body over time. For instance, a patient taking 10 milligrams of Valium twice daily will have more than one dosage at work by the second day, with the initial dose at over 90 percent strength when the patient takes the second dose at full-strength. In this manner, Valium content in the body can reach incredibly high levels, making detoxing alone extremely difficult.

In addition to the high half-life of Valium, other factors make solo detox from Valium incredibly challenging. Valium tolerance builds easily, causing users to increase the frequency and strength of dosage over time. Therefore the level of Valium consumption at the point of treatment seeking is often much higher than initial use. These factors combine with severe cravings and withdrawal symptoms such as seizures when use suddenly ceases, making medically supervised detox a necessity.

As a benzodiazepine, Valium creates physical changes in body chemistry, resulting in feelings of sedation and relaxation. These chemical changes lead the brain to adjust away from its natural balance of neurotransmitters, causing severe withdrawal when the user suddenly stops using the drug. Every person struggling with Valium addiction will experience severe withdrawal symptoms because of cessation, which can cause dangerous mental and physical complications.

Fortunately, with the assistance of supervised medical care and the help of knowledgeable rehabilitation professionals, Valium detox is safe and comfortable.

 

STACKING DRUGS WITH VALIUM

With prolonged Valium use, patients find that Valium causes undesirable side effects. Other patients may find that Valium does not fully treat the condition. These situations can lead physicians to prescribe another drug in lieu of Valium, but unfortunately, many doctors do not allow enough time to pass before doing so. Patients then begin a new course of strong medication while the Valium is still active in the body. This is "drug stacking," and drug stacking can create compounded effects and multiple addictions. Some patients have been on as many as eighteen separate drugs. This creates a host of physical and psychological issues that need resolving.

Beyond the physical dynamics of Valium ingestion, doctors prescribe Valium for psychological disorders, such as anxiety or insomnia. Treatment of psychological conditions with potent medications like Valium can be ineffective in the long run. Valium does not resolve negative psychological conditions, but instead masks the emotion, experience or feelings. When a patient stops taking Valium, the original psychological conditions appear and negative feelings, memories or emotional issues hit once again. This phenomenon illustrates the lack of actual healing that occurs with psychological medications. All too often, drugs like Valium serve to silence the warning signs of the body and mind. At Passages, the clinicians treat Valium dependency and help heal the underlying issues that created symptoms of anxiety and insomnia.

 

CHANGING THE VALIUM TREATMENT PARADIGM

Rather than stacking drugs in an attempt to alleviate symptoms, Passages offers resolutions for addiction. Holistic techniques treat the entire person: body, mind and spirit. A multidisciplinary staff seeks out the mental, physical and emotional causes that perpetuate drug addiction, so that patients can experience true freedom on every level, as well as freedom from addiction.

Individualized therapy is at the center of the holistic addiction recovery program at Passages. Therapists provide a high level of intensive, one-on-one therapy sessions, offering patients more than 60 private sessions each month. Each client receives a dedicated team of 10 therapists who to work on a personal basis. This revolutionary, custom-tailored approach ensures that no client slips through the cracks of the addiction recovery process.

Unfortunately, the standards and paradigms for addiction recovery treatment across the United States do not set or achieve the same level of care. At Passages, the addiction experts seek to change the ways that addiction recovery occurs. Sadly, many addiction treatment centers still view alcoholism, drug addiction and addictive behaviors as foremost problems instead of symptoms of underlying conditions. The vast majority of addiction treatment centers opt for one-size-fits-all, generalized treatment with an emphasis on group therapy. This impedes a proper diagnosis. Personalized treatment works for chemical dependency.

Almost every addiction treatment program worldwide offers an approach that consists of group therapy meetings. Nearly 97 percent of treatment programs in the world rely on as little as one personalized treatment session per week. This method amounts to ineffective treatment, overlooking the unique relationship histories, medical disposition, psychological issues or personal traumas of each client. Addiction is a highly personal issue and it develops in each individual due to singular reasons, body chemistry and life circumstances. Until patients can receive caring treatment, people cannot be free of addiction. Passages offers a unique treatment program for each client, aimed at discovering the root causes of specific dependencies so that the individual can successfully addiction and permanently heal.

Drug and alcohol rehab treatment are not one-size-fits-all. Recovery methods that work for a client that self-medicates severe physical pain with Valium will not be effective for the client seeking emotional relief from repressed trauma. A spectrum of therapists seeks to pinpoint the cause of each addiction in order to treat it with an effective and relevant solution.

Once a person identifies and treats the underlying causes of Valium addiction cravings will quickly diminish, opening the doors to lasting sobriety.
