Helping Teens Overcome Benzodiazepine Addiction

At Insight Northwest Recovery, we understand the unique challenges teens face with prescribed benzodiazepines. Our specialized benzodiazepine treatment program is designed to address the specific needs of adolescents, providing a safe and supportive environment for recovery.

Understanding Benzodiazepine Addiction

Benzodiazepines, commonly known as "benzos," are prescription medications often used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions. While effective for short-term use, they can be highly addictive, especially when misused. Teens may turn to benzos for their calming effects, but regular use can lead to dependency and addiction. Here are some facts about the use of benzodiazepines among teens:

  • Benzodiazepines are among the most commonly prescribed medications in the U.S., often used for anxiety and insomnia.

  • Approximately 20% of individuals taking benzodiazepines for more than a few weeks develop a dependency.

  • Teen benzodiazepine misuse is on the rise, often sourced from family medicine cabinets or peers.

  • Benzodiazepine-related overdoses have significantly increased, particularly when combined with opioids.

Commonly prescribed benzodiazepines include Valium®, Xanax®, Halcion®, Ativan®, and Klonopin®.
