Do You Need Ativan Rehab?

Sometimes, loved ones are able to notice an Ativan addiction before the person who is struggling. Your friend or family member may be struggling with Ativan addiction if you notice changes in mood, social activity, appearance, behavior, work performance, or health.

Other signs of Ativan addiction include:

  • Using or wanting to use Ativan regularly
  • Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed
  • Taking more Ativan or using for longer than you intended to
  • Spending most of your time using or recovering from Ativan
  • Using Ativan without a prescription or taking larger doses than prescribed
  • “Doctor shopping” for multiple prescriptions
  • Buying Ativan from illegal or unofficial sources
  • Spending money you don’t have on Ativan
  • Engaging in risky behaviors while using Ativan
  • Needing more Ativan to feel the same effect
  • Feeling sick when you stop taking Ativan
  • Continuing to use Ativan even when it negatively affects your life
  • Trying and failing to stop using Ativan

Frequently Asked Questions

There’s no better way to get all the information you need about Ativan rehab than having a real conversation with our team. Call us today to get your questions answered and start your path to recovery.

Ativan is the brand-name of lorazepam, a benzodiazepine used for short-term anxiety relief. Like other “benzos,” Ativan slows activity in the brain to allow for relaxation. Some people describe Ativan as a “miracle drug” for treating anxiety, but the relief from the medication doesn’t always last. Many experience “rebound symptoms” when the drug wears off and find it difficult to cope with daily life without the drug.

Ativan is one of the most addictive short-acting benzodiazepines, and it’s also one of the most prescribed benzodiazepines. While Ativan can be effective for treating anxiety and other conditions, patients can develop physical dependence after two or more weeks of daily use. Even patients who do not develop a full-blown Ativan addiction may struggle to stop using the drug on their own.

Ativan withdrawal symptoms can be severe and may include:

  • Anxiety and agitation
  • Insomnia
  • Tremors
  • Muscle aches
  • Seizures
  • Hallucinations
  • Delirium

These symptoms may last several days to a few weeks, and can even linger for months in severe cases.

At North Georgia Recovery Center, we understand that it’s not easy to drop school, work, or other obligations when seeking treatment. That being said, addiction treatment should be your top priority while you’re in rehab, because your recovery is more important than anything else.

We offer different programs to fit different needs. For example, evening IOP may best suit those who work full-time during the day, while our PHP is a full-day treatment experience for those with the availability.
