Understanding Xanax Addiction
Xanax (alprazolam) is one of the most widely prescribed anti-anxiety medications in Oklahoma, but its addictive properties are often underestimated. According to the State of Addiction report, Xanax contributed to 139 overdose deaths in the state in 2010 alone. Many people become addicted after being prescribed the drug for anxiety or panic disorders, unaware of how physically and psychologically dependent they can become.
Our Approach to Xanax Addiction Recovery
At Tunnel Vision, we understand that Xanax addiction requires a specialized approach due to the drug’s unique effects on the brain and the serious risks associated with withdrawal. While we do not provide in-house detox services, we partner with medical detox centers to ensure a safe and supervised withdrawal process.
Here’s how Tunnel Vision helps clients recover from Xanax addiction:
- Detox Referrals: Stopping Xanax use abruptly can be dangerous, with risks like seizures or other severe symptoms. We coordinate with detox facilities that offer medical supervision during this critical phase, ensuring a safe transition into our outpatient program once the client is physically stabilized.
- Individualized Therapy: Xanax addiction often stems from deeper issues like anxiety, trauma, or co-occurring mental health disorders. Our therapists work with clients to identify the underlying causes of their addiction and provide personalized treatment plans. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients understand and modify the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to their substance use.
- Mindfulness and Stress Management: Since Xanax is commonly used to manage anxiety, we provide clients with alternative tools for coping with stress and anxiety without relying on medication. Through mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation techniques, clients learn how to manage their mental health in healthier ways.
- Group Support and Peer Counseling: We foster a supportive environment where clients can share their experiences and struggles in group therapy. Hearing others’ stories and building connections in recovery can help break the cycle of isolation that often comes with addiction.
- Aftercare and Continuing Care: We ensure that clients have the support they need even after completing our program. Our aftercare services include outpatient counseling, alumni groups, and relapse prevention planning to keep clients on track long-term.
Recovery from Xanax addiction is possible, and at Tunnel Vision, we are dedicated to providing the safest and most compassionate care to help our clients reclaim their lives.
