What are
Benzodiazepines?
Benzodiazepines are prescription
medications, and they’ve been in use for
more than 50 years. During that time,
according to an analysis published in
Addiction, researchers have been concerned
about the link between these drugs and
addiction.
Benzodiazepine
Addiction & The Brain
The National Institute on Drug Abuse says that
benzos cause a minor shift in the chemical
signals the brain uses to communicate a
pleasurable event. When that shift takes hold,
people feel a boost of sensation that is
associated with reward, joy, and security. They
may not be able to name the change, but the
brain marks that change.

Handling an Addiction
Benzo addictions don’t simply disappear.
Symptoms tend to grow more and more
severe, as long as they’re not addressed in a
comprehensive manner. That’s why it’s vital for
families to take action when they see benzo
abuse unfolding in someone they love. The
information families provide, and the solutions
they outline, could make all the difference to a
person in need. With help, that person could
find a sobriety that sticks.
