What Are Benzodiazepines?
Benzodiazepines, also sometimes referred to as “benzos,” are a category of prescription drugs that are generally prescribed to treat conditions such as anxiety and insomnia. Many people use these types of drugs for these purposes, and benzodiazepines can be an effective type of treatment for many people.
Some people develop a benzo dependency after taking a legitimate prescription for anxiety or insomnia. Others begin using benzos recreationally — which can quickly lead to dangerous side effects and physical dependence.
The most common methods of benzo misuse are oral ingestion and snorting. Either path carries serious health risks that worsen without professional treatment.

How Benzo Dependency Affects Your Mind, Body & Life
Benzodiazepine addiction can have many negative effects on the mind, body, and spirit. Several negative effects of benzodiazepine are muscle weakness, cardiovascular damage, brain damage, aggression, memory loss, and even death.
Benzodiazepine addiction can lead to many personal and professional issues. These problems can range from loss of job, marital and relationship issues, and legal issues.
Our Approach to Benzo Recovery: The 12-Step Method
Research consistently supports the 12-step method as one of the most effective frameworks for overcoming benzo addiction and achieving long-term sobriety. The program uses spirituality and a shift in perspective to address the root causes of substance use, not just the behaviors.
At Impact Recovery Center, our clients don’t just complete a program – they build a foundation for lasting sobriety. The 12 steps give them tools they can carry into the world and use for the rest of their lives.
Sobriety is a lifelong process. What clients learn here creates real, lasting change, for themselves and the people around them.
We also offer after care programs that give alumni of our program to continue the long-term work of living in recovery. Through group meetings, sponsorship programs, and social events, we allow people who have completed recovery at Impact Recovery Center to connect with others who are living in recovery and stay focused after finishing a program.
