Xanax Addiction & Abuse Treatment in Austin, TX

In the initial stage (tapering), we work with you to gradually reduce your Xanax dosage. The pace and duration of tapering are tailored to your specific needs, considering factors such as dosage, duration of use, and underlying medical conditions. We will closely monitor you during this stage to manage both physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms, which range from mild discomfort to potentially severe complications.

The next phase we navigate with you is the withdrawal phase. During this time, symptoms typically peak within 2-4 days after stopping Xanax and can last for several weeks or even months. Our team provides comprehensive care to manage symptoms like anxiety and agitation, insomnia, physical symptoms, gastrointestinal distress, mood swings, irritability, and cognitive impairment.

As you transition into the recovery phase, we continue our support as your body adjusts to the absence of Xanax. We understand that recovery timelines vary and are influenced by factors like the duration of Xanax use, the dosage, and your overall health status. During this phase, we encourage the use of our support system, professional therapy, self-care activities, and addressing any underlying mental health conditions.

Throughout your journey, we promote open communication with our healthcare team. We provide valuable advice and support and may recommend alternative therapies or medications to help manage withdrawal symptoms and any underlying conditions. We also emphasize the importance of emotional support.

As your withdrawal symptoms lessen and you near the end of your journey, we continue to guide and support you. We acknowledge that transitioning from Xanax can be challenging and requires patience and support. But with our resources, we believe it’s entirely possible to successfully transition off Xanax and lead a healthy life free from dependence.

Relapse is a potential but manageable risk during this process. By seeking our medical guidance, withdrawal symptoms can be minimized, and safety ensured.

Our team of medical professionals is experienced in managing medications like Xanax and can provide the necessary supervision for safe and effective tapering. We will monitor your health, adjust dosages as needed, and provide immediate care if withdrawal symptoms become severe.

At MAPS for Recovery, we understand that each person’s experience with Xanax withdrawal can be different. Therefore, we develop personalized treatment plans taking into account factors like your dosage, length of use, and individual response, to ensure a smooth transition.

Addressing the underlying anxiety disorders that may have led to Xanax use is a key part of our approach. Our team includes experienced psychotherapists who can provide the necessary counseling and cognitive-behavioral therapies to help manage anxiety and other emotional symptoms.

Our unique approach encompasses several integral aspects of recovery. We incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) to help individuals identify negative thoughts and behaviors that contribute to their dependence. Additionally, we provide mindfulness meditation sessions to assist individuals in being present-moment aware of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.

At MAPS for Recovery, we firmly believe in the power of peer support. Our program encourages individuals to connect with others who have faced similar challenges, creating a supportive community that fosters recovery.

We emphasize relapse prevention by providing ongoing support and personalized strategies that help identify potential triggers and deal with setbacks.

If you are using Xanax to manage your symptoms, it’s important to be aware of the potential return of these symptoms as the drug’s effects decrease. This is due to increased brain activity as the drug’s influence recede. Withdrawal symptoms, varying in severity, may also emerge if you stop taking Xanax abruptly after regular use.

Long-term use of Xanax can lead to physical dependence, and when the drug’s effects wear off, the urge to take more to prevent withdrawal symptoms can be strong. This situation can also lead to a rebound effect, where the original symptoms return and may even be more severe.

At MAPS for Recovery, we recognize that the timeline and severity of withdrawal can vary greatly, influenced by factors such as the duration and dosage of Xanax use, individual metabolism and sensitivity, existing medical conditions, and the use of other substances.

Our treatment approach to manage Xanax withdrawal involves careful medical supervision and a gradual tapering of the medication to prevent severe withdrawal symptoms. For severe cases, we offer inpatient rehabilitation, and we also provide therapy, support groups, and lifestyle adjustments to help cope with the psychological and emotional challenges of recovery.

We understand that the effects of Xanax can last longer in some individuals due to their unique metabolism rates, the dosage they are taking, and how long they’ve been on the medication. Hence, our team at MAPS for Recovery always recommends consulting with a professional.
