Ativan is the trade name for lorazepam, a benzodiazepine that is typically used to treat anxiety but can also be prescribed to treat manic bipolar disorder, sleep problems, muscle spasms, restlessness, and alcohol withdrawal. Benzos act primarily on the central nervous system to increase the GABA neurotransmitter that produces an overall calming effect in the brain and body. Because Ativan produces almost immediate effects, people can become attached to the sensations quickly and take more as the effects wear off, eventually building a tolerance to the drug.
And because benzos are widely available, from doctor’s offices to home medicine cabinets, it’s no surprise to learn that Ativan abuse is widespread. However, just because addiction to benzos like Ativan is common doesn’t mean it’s any less dangerous – in 2019 alone, 16 percent of overdose deaths involving opioids also involved benzodiazepines, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Many people make the mistake of assuming that these drugs are harmless because they’re so readily prescribed and can treat a variety of issues, thanks to their relaxing effect, and will abuse them with other substances.
What to Look Out For
What Are Signs & Symptoms of Ativan Addiction?
Though individuals who only take the recommended amount of Ativan prescribed by their doctors are generally safe from developing addictions, extended use of the drug can cause chemical changes in the brain, which can lead to an increased risk of addiction.
It’s not always easy to recognize whether you or someone you love has an Ativan addiction, but withdrawal symptoms are an obvious sign of dependence. If you’re experiencing confusion, hallucinations, or nausea after going for a length of time without taking Ativan, you may be experiencing withdrawal.
- Using Ativan as a coping mechanism in stressful situations like socializing
- Isolation
- Lying about your Ativan use to others
- Doctor shopping to get additional prescriptions
- Oversleeping
- Dizziness or vomiting
- Memory impairment
- Cravings for Ativan
Drug addiction can also have a negative impact on a person’s relationships. Over time, if your loved one begins to cut off communication with you and other family members, steals from you, or lies when they’re with you, it’s possible they have an addiction that they’re hiding.

How We Treat Ativan Addiction
While Ativan can make a person feel relaxed and ease their anxiety symptoms, the withdrawal effects can be uncomfortable and even dangerous once an addiction has developed. It might be tempting for people to think they can detox and recover on their own, especially if they reason with themselves that an Ativan addiction isn’t as serious as an addiction to a drug like fentanyl. However, people who attempt to detox from benzodiazepines can experience shortness of breath and seizures, which can be fatal if not treated immediately. Ativan addiction is serious and should be treated by a rehab center that can monitor your progress and give you the tools you need to heal.
When you seek professional help from our center, you can expect to be treated with respect and know that our team can give you the support you need during this time. Our rehab services include programs like CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), wellness activities like yoga, and relapse prevention that can help you on the road to recovery.
