Treatment Programs for Sedative Addiction at Wellbrook Recovery
At Wellbrook Recovery, we offer specialized treatment programs for individuals struggling with sedative addiction. Our treatment approach is designed to address the unique challenges of sedative addiction and help clients achieve lasting recovery.
Sedatives, utilized to calm or induce sleep, are typically classified into three main groups: Benzodiazepines, Non-Benzodiazepine sedatives (commonly referred to as “Z-drugs”), and Barbiturates. Benzodiazepines encompass drugs such as Alprazolam (Xanax), Diazepam (Valium), and Lorazepam (Ativan), which are frequently used for treating conditions such as anxiety and insomnia. On the other hand, the “Z-drugs” category includes Zolpidem (Ambien), Zaleplon (Sonata), and Eszopiclone (Lunesta), which are most commonly prescribed to combat insomnia. Lastly, the older class of sedatives, Barbiturates, includes substances like Phenobarbital, Amobarbital, and Secobarbital. Although their use has declined over time due to the associated high risk for overdose and addiction, Barbiturates continue to find application in certain medical procedures and for managing specific types of seizures.
