Top-Rated Librium Rehab in Palm Beach, Florida

Librium was mostly used to help control anxiety attacks, as well as to reduce the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal during an alcohol rehab program. It also became a popular benzo among people who use drugs unlawfully. Benzos like Librium increase the effects of the GABA neurotransmitter in the brain, which induces a sense of calmness or tiredness, giving users a “quiet high.”

Drugs that target and affect neurotransmitters can trigger an addiction quickly in users. Not only can they become mentally addicted to the practice of taking the drug, known as a process addiction, but they can also become chemically addicted to the substance. The GABA neurotransmitters in the brain can become damaged by Librium use. At that point, the user will only experience typical levels of this neurotransmitter while on the drug, so they will seek it out just to feel “normal,” which is the start of an addiction.

People who have a Librium addiction will often:

• Need to take larger doses of Librium before feeling high.
• Ignore health concerns caused by Librium use and still take more.
• Want to take more Librium at all times.
• Only feel happy when they have recently taken Librium.

Physical and mental symptoms of Librium addiction or abuse include:

• Insomnia
• Depression
• Muscle cramps
• Vomiting and nausea
• Profuse sweating
• Seizures

The risk of suffering a severe Librium abuse symptom spikes when the drug is also used with alcohol or opioids. While Librium and other benzos should never be abused, they must absolutely never be taken with alcohol or opioids, which could trigger extreme and life-threatening sedation.
