Xanax, a commonly prescribed benzodiazepine medication, is currently one of the most widely used psychiatric medications in the United States. However, long-term use can lead to dependence. Many individuals find themselves unable to stop taking the medication, even after their original condition has resolved.
Xanax works by increasing the levels of a brain chemical called GABA, which has a calming effect. However, over time, significant deficiencies exist to heal the body while repairing neural damage and repair mental function. Xanax affects mood, coordination, and long-term damage to the nervous system. At Philly Sober Living House, we work closely with individuals who are seeking help from Xanax dependence and associated side effects, helping with health stabilization through recovery while addressing the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction.
