Xanax rehab

If you are wondering whether Xanax rehab is the right call for you, here’s a quick self-check questionnaire to guide you:

• Have you noticed an increase in your Xanax usage over time?
• Have you tried to cut down or quit Xanax but can’t seem to manage it?
• Is Xanax causing strain in your relationships or impacting your responsibilities?
• Do you experience Xanax cravings or withdrawal symptoms when you don’t use Xanax?
• Do you constantly worry about when you can take your next dose of Xanax?
• Have you ever endangered yourself or others while under the influence of Xanax?
• Do you continue to use Xanax, even when you are aware of its negative impacts?
• Have you lost interest in activities you once enjoyed because of your Xanax use?

If you answered ‘yes’ to most of these questions, it may be time to consider seeking help from a professional Xanax rehab programme.

Detox is always the first step in prescription drug rehab as it cleanses your body of harmful toxins and breaks the physical dependence that develops after heavy, extended substance use. Xanax detox should always be conducted under professional medical supervision at a centre like Oasis Runcorn. Attempting to detox from Xanax on your own can be very risky due to the potential severity of Xanax withdrawal symptoms and can also lead to you relapsing.

Experiencing Xanax withdrawal is a normal but often distressing part of the Xanax detox process. The severity of Xanax withdrawal symptoms can vary widely among different people due to factors like the duration of your Xanax use, the amount you have been using and your overall health condition.

However, common Xanax withdrawal symptoms include:

• Anxiety and restlessness: You may feel a heightened sense of worry during Xanax withdrawal or find it hard to stay still or relax.
• Insomnia: Insomnia is a common symptom of Xanax withdrawal, and you may have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or both.
• Tremors: Shaking or trembling, especially in your hands, are also very common during Xanax withdrawal.
• Sweating: You may also experience excessive perspiration, even when it’s not hot.
• Nausea: Xanax withdrawal can also lead to a frequently upset stomach, vomiting and lack of appetite.
• Muscle pain: You may feel achy or experience muscle cramps.

Understanding what to expect can make the detox journey a little less daunting. Everyone’s unique experience will differ slightly, but here is a rough timeline of the Xanax withdrawal process:

• 6-12 hours after your last dose: Minor Xanax withdrawal symptoms might start to appear, such as anxiety and restlessness.
• 1-4 days after your last dose: Xanax withdrawal symptoms may peak during this period. You may experience high anxiety levels, increased heart rate and possible seizures (these can be prevented with medical assistance).
• 1-2 weeks: Xanax withdrawal symptoms generally begin to taper off at this point. However, you may still experience mood swings, ongoing anxiety and sleep disturbances.
• Beyond 2 weeks: Some people may experience protracted Xanax withdrawal symptoms like ongoing anxiety or depression. This is one reason why ongoing support from a Xanax rehab programme is crucial because these symptoms can be very mentally and emotionally tough and can also increase your risk of relapse.

An effective Xanax rehab programme is far more than just detox. Oasis Runcorn’s inpatient Xanax rehab programme delves deep into your Xanax use and reliance and gives you all the tools and skills you need to maintain long-term recovery. Here are some of our most effective treatments for Xanax addiction and how they can help you overcome it:

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): DBT will teach you the skills you need to manage painful emotions and decrease conflict in relationships, reducing the impulse to turn to Xanax to cope.
• Group therapy: Sharing your experiences with others who are in the same boat can foster a sense of community and mutual support. It can also provide the opportunity to make friends who will support you long after you leave Xanax rehab.
• Family therapy: This therapy involves your loved ones in your Xanax recovery process, helping repair strained relationships and build a supportive home environment.
• Holistic therapies: Practices like yoga, meditation and special forms of acupuncture can complement traditional therapies, helping manage stress and promote overall well-being.

Entering Xanax rehab is a monumental step towards reclaiming control over your life. Here are some benefits you can expect:

Improved health

As your body recovers from the damage done by chronic Xanax use, you should notice improvements in both physical and mental health.

Restored relationships

Xanax rehab can help you to mend relationships, enabling you to rebuild trust with loved ones.

Better quality of life

Free from the constant need to find and use Xanax, you will have more time and energy to invest in activities you enjoy.

No legal issues

Unpredictable run-ins with police, illegal doctor shopping and other complications can often stem from Xanax abuse. Xanax rehab can help you avoid such issues in the future.

Increased self-esteem

Finally, achieving sobriety after a long battle can significantly boost your self-confidence and self-esteem, which can hugely positively impact your life.

Navigating life post-rehab requires a solid prevention strategy to help you avoid potential relapse. Here are some proven Xanax relapse prevention strategies to help you stay sober:

Continue therapy

Ongoing therapy through aftercare can be instrumental in maintaining the mental and emotional stability necessary for sustained recovery. Oasis Runcorn offers all our clients one year’s free weekly group therapy in our aftercare programme to help you stay on course.

Establish healthy routines

Regular exercise, eating a balanced diet and getting enough quality sleep can all contribute positively to your overall well-being and act as natural deterrents against relapse.

Stress management

In Xanax rehab, you will learn lots of healthy ways to handle stress, such as mindfulness, meditation and yoga. You can use these strategies during stressful moments after you leave rehab, so you don’t need to resort to Xanax.

Avoid triggers

Identify situations, people or places that might tempt you to use Xanax again and devise a strategy to avoid or manage these triggers effectively if you do encounter them.

Build a support network

Surround yourself with positive influences. Join support groups or lean on trustworthy loved ones when you need to talk or seek advice.
