Addiction
to Ativan, Detox and Treatment
Ativan, a mild tranquilizer, sedative
and Central Nervous System depressant is just another brand
name for Lorazepam, an anti anxiety agent. Lorazepam is
stipulated for handling anxiety disorders or for the short-term
relief of the symptoms of anxiety or anxiety associated
with depressive symptoms.
Manufactured at Wyeth Laboratories, Inc. Ativan
comes in two forms- pills as well as liquid, which can be
injected. The tranquilizer works on the central Nervous
System and relieves patient of the pain. However, doctors
must be careful not to prescribe Ativan to patients with
acute narrow angle glaucoma and primary depressive disorder
or psychosis. In addition, it is not recommended during
driving or operating heavy machinery. Alcohol or other central
nervous system depressants are also not to be consumed while
under Ativan medication.
Furthermore, studies show that Ativan may cause an increased
risk of congenital malformation in the first trimester of
pregnancy.
On the other hand, caution must be taken by the users,
as this mild tranquilizer is addictive and may lead to habituation
and dependence. Initial intake of Ativan, makes the user
feel excited and high leading to development of habit. Withdrawal
symptoms expose characters, similar to those noted with
barbiturates and alcohol including sedation, dizziness,
weakness and unsteadiness. Less common side effects may
include disorientation, depression, nausea, and change in
appetite, headache, sleep disturbance, agitation, dermatological
symptoms, and eye-function disturbance, together with autonomic
manifestations, Convulsions, tremor, abdominal and muscle
cramps, vomiting and sweating.
If addiction of Ativan has been suspected or if any one
has experienced any of the above effects, it is advisable
to get in touch with your doctor quickly as possible as
dependency on Ativan can cause serious nervous breakdown
and drastic results. Seek some addiction treatment immediately.
Drug Free Withdrawal
Popularly practiced over addicts and abusive users, the
drug free withdrawal treatment helps addicts through the
anguish of withdrawal without the use of potentially addictive
drugs, instead they use vitamin and mineral supplements
along with special techniques to ease the mental and physical
symptoms. The individual is put through a carefully designed
withdrawal program that enables him to come off drugs without
experiencing the usual agonizing withdrawal symptoms. They
also utilize specific nutritional compounds, which help
to rebuild the individual physically. An individual in withdrawal
is put under the careful supervision of a ativan
withdrawal and detox Specialist 24 hours a day until
the physical and mental discomfort associated with drug
and alcohol withdrawal is no longer present.
Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapies can include counseling, psychotherapy,
support groups, or family therapy. For a long-term success,
medical therapy alone hardly ever helps, thus effective
treatment of such drug addiction requires plenty of attention.
Medical treatment should be combined with concurrent behavioral
therapies and provision for social services.
Sauna
Treatment
Sauna treatment is a vital step in the successful rehabilitation
of substance abuse by flushing out these accumulated toxic
residues so that the person no longer experiences unwanted
adverse effects from the drugs they have taken.
The program utilizes intensive sweating in a dry sauna,
in combination with plenty of fluids and nutritional supplementation,
to reduce drug residuals from the body.
