Between April 2019 and April 2020, prescription (illicitly acquired) related Benzodiazepine deaths increased by 21.8% and 519.6% for nonprescription. **[Benzodiazepines (Benzos)](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine "Benzodiazepines Stop Abusing Benzos")** are anxiolytic (tranquilizers) classes of drugs that belong to a larger group of substances classified as central nervous system (CNS) depressants. Benzos work by increasing the inhibition of neurotransmissions in the brain. Benzodiazepine overdose is the ingestion of one of the drugs in the Benzodiazepine class in quantities more significant than what is generally prescribed. #### Table of Contents ![rolling hills recovery center front desk and logo on the wall.](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/rolling-hills-front-desk-area-1024x683.webp "rolling hills recovery center front desk and logo on the wall.") ![Cafeteria at rolling hills recovery center](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/cafeteria-1-1024x576.webp "Cafeteria at rolling hills recovery center") ![Longe area with modern sofa at rolling hills recovery center](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/lounge-area-rolling-hills-1024x683.webp "Longe area with modern sofa at rolling hills recovery center") ###### Levels of Care - [Detoxification](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/addiction-info/detox "Detox Coordination Find Medical Detox Placement") - [Residential Inpatient](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/addiction-info/inpatient "Inpatient Programs Is Inpatient Rehab Right for You?...") - [Intensive Outpatient (IOP)](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/programs/intensive-outpatient-iop "Intensive Outpatient Program Discover Flexibility in...") - [Outpatient Treatment](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/programs/outpatient-treatment "Outpatient Program High-Quality Outpatient Treatment...") - [Aftercare Programs](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/programs/aftercare "Aftercare Programs") ###### Popular Topics - [Xanax Overdose](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine/xanax/overdose "Xanax Overdose") - [Benzo Withdrawal](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine/withdrawal-signs-and-symptoms "Benzo Withdrawal") - [Treatment for Benzo Abuse](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine/treatment "Treatment for Benzo Abuse") - [Can You Overdose on Klonopin?](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine/klonopin/overdose "Can You Overdose on Klonopin?") - [How Long is Xanax in Your System?](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine/xanax/how-long-in-system "How Long is Xanax in Your System?") ###### More About Benzos - [Xanax Abuse](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine/xanax "Xanax Abuse") - [Valium Abuse](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine/valium "Valium Abuse") - [Librium Abuse](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine/librium "Librium Abuse") - [Klonopin Abuse​](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine/klonopin "Klonopin") - [Clonazepam Abuse](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/benzodiazepine/clonazepam "Clonazepam Abuse") #### Exploring the Role & Risks of Benzos ## What are Benzodiazepines? Benzodiazepines are prescription medications used to treat **[anxiety](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/co-occurring-disorder/stress-anxiety "anxiety disorders")**, panic attacks, muscle spasms, alcohol withdrawal, seizures, and short-term management of insomnia and are rarely used for this medical purpose. Examples of these drugs include; Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin. Misuse of Benzodiazepine can cause substantial harm and eventually result in a possible lethal overdose. The calming and anxiety-reducing effect of these sedatives has made their use rampant. Benzodiazepines can be harmful since it is usually taken without a prescription or in ways other than prescribed. Non-medical use of Benzodiazepine is an increasing concern. For example, in 2014, the national survey on drug use and health (NSDUH) revealed that 8.8% of Americans reported abusing benzodiazepines at some point in their lifetimes. ![sad](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sad.webp "sad") #### Risks Leading to Benzo Overdose ## Causes of Benzodiazepine Overdose Fatal Benzodiazepine overdoses are rare when used on their own, but certain aspects can put users at higher risk of severe consequences in the event of an overdose.

Combining these drugs with other substances such as alcohol, other antidepressants, or opioid painkillers is more dangerous. These signs will give you the foresight to save a loved one in case of an emergency: - Trouble breathing. - Bluish fingertips and lips. - Double or blurred vision. - Stupor. - Coma. - Altered mental status. - Confusion and disorientation. - Extreme dizziness. - Weakness. - Cardiac arrest. - Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. What to do in Case of a Benzodiazepine Overdose When you witness any of these symptoms in your loved one, please call 911 immediately for immediate medical intervention. A timely call differs between saving a life and the likelihood of fatal consequences and death. **Immediately make a 911 call and provide them with as much information as possible about the person, such as:** - The person’s age. - Weight. - The signs the patient is exhibiting - Time the person took the drug. - The amount of the drug ingested. - Where the person obtained the drug. - The person’s location. Causes of Benzodiazepine Overdose **Deadly Benzodiazepine overdoses are rare when used on their own, but certain aspects can put users at higher risk of severe consequences in the event of an overdose. These factors include:** - Injecting the drug. - Taking the drug in large doses. - Taking the medication more times than prescribed. - Mixing Benzodiazepine with other CNS drugs such as alcohol, opioid painkillers, etc. **When you are an overdose victim, you will be transported to the hospital, where the first interventions include but are not limited to:** - Respiratory support. - Intravenous fluids. - Medications to reverse or control the effects of an overdose. Usually, a specific benzodiazepine receptor antagonist (Flumazenil) reverses the results of the sedative overdose. You will be given Flumazenil to help you regain consciousness or prevent you from falling into unconsciousness or a coma. In a few cases, your recovery may take longer depending on the extent of the overdose and how fast you receive treatment. ### Rolling Hills Recovery Center Offers Help For Benzo Addiction.

National surveys have discovered that 50% of high school adolescents reported obtaining prescription sedatives, including benzodiazepines, from relatives and family members. The following steps will go a long way towards saving your life and those of loved ones: - Follow the instructions properly; use the correct dosage, frequency, and method of administering the drug. - Do not share other people’s medications; they may be prescribed a higher dose due to differences in age or weight. - Avoid the use of other medicines with or without alcohol. - Discuss with your medical service provider any side effects you experience after using the prescription. - Discuss all the drugs, over-the-counter medications, and supplements you currently take with your medical provider. - Keep all sedatives away from children and teenagers. - Keep all prescription medications in a locked cabinet. - Repair expired drugs at U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) collection sites. - Enlighten your teens and children on the risks of prescription drug use. Consider seeking medical treatment if you are struggling with Benzodiazepine addiction; - **Inpatient Treatment;**  In this case, you must reside in the recovery facility and participate in therapy and counseling sessions for a part of the day. You can get user support and a structured environment that reduces the cravings for benzodiazepines. As it is an intensive treatment, if you are highly dependent on benzodiazepines, your risk of relapse is minimized, and you can become sober sooner. - **Medically Supervised Detoxification;**  This mode of treatment will give you ready access to immediate help if you are highly dependent on Benzodiazepines because of the **[risk of withdrawal](https://www.rollinghillsrecoverycenter.com/addiction-info/drug-and-alcohol-withdrawal "withdrawal symptoms")**. These detox facilities have medical personnel who monitor and treat withdrawal and other symptoms that may arise during your stay. If you abruptly stop taking the drug, you can experience anxiety, insomnia, paranoia, and seizures. - **Outpatient Therapy;**  You can opt to attend therapy sessions after inpatient treatment, ranging from hour-long sessions to several days per week while attending to other obligations.
