Build a foundation for lasting recovery

Interior Img Size Medium Wp Image 1026 AlignrightAtivan is a brand name for the medication lorazepam, which belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines act on the nervous system to produce a calming effect. They are some of the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States. Ativan helps treat anxiety disorders, acute alcohol withdrawal, and seizures. It is also used off-label for a variety of other conditions, such as insomnia, vertigo, and nausea from chemotherapy. Unfortunately, even though Ativan can help relieve people’s symptoms, it can be highly addictive. An Ativan addiction treatment program can help people break the cycle of substance abuse and find a healthier, happier future.

The Ativan addiction treatment program is one of the cornerstones of the benzo treatment programs at Evoke Wellness at Miramar. We understand how easily addiction can take over your life or the life of someone you love and how hard it can be to get sober. We also know that recovery is possible. Our South Florida center is the region’s premier medical detox and residential treatment center. Whether you’re struggling to overcome a drug or alcohol addiction, you’ll find hope and help during a time in which it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Get started in a benzo addiction treatment program in South Florida near you today by calling 866.931.9312; our admissions counselors are available 24/7 to help you.

Dangers of Ativan

Ativan is safe and effective when used as directed by a doctor. However, it can be dangerous when abused. When taken in large doses or combined with other nervous system depressants, Ativan can lead to life-threatening breathing problems. It can also cause blackouts, fainting, and coma. Other dangers of Ativan abuse include:

  • Dependence – When Ativan is taken for long periods of time, the body becomes used to its presence and may develop a dependence. This can lead to withdrawal symptoms when people try to stop taking the drug.
  • Tolerance – Tolerance occurs when people need to take larger and larger doses of Ativan to get the same effect. This can lead to accidental overdoses.
  • Addiction – Addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease characterized by compulsive drug-seeking and use despite negative consequences. People who are addicted to Ativan may continue using the drug even when it leads to relationship problems, job loss, financial difficulties, and legal trouble.

If you or someone you love is struggling with an Ativan addiction, it’s important to get help as soon as possible.
