Benzodiazepine Dependency & Treatment
While not technically an addiction in medical terms, dependency on benzos – like many substances - can have such a debilitating & detrimental effect on a user's quality of life. We are determined to help those people who are stuck in this cycle.
What exactly is Benzodiazepine?
Benzodiazepine is a type of drug used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders. It works by enhancing the neurochemical GABA., which acts as a relaxant, reducing anxiety & generally having a sedative effect, not too unlike alcohol.
