Valium addiction may have resulted from a legitimate need but similar to other problem depressants like qualludes, Valium addiction is a serious disease that should be treated medically. Valium addiction begins, for many, as a legitimate prescription from the local doctor. Valium is prescribed to reduce pain and anxiety but Valium addiction leads to fatigue, depression, irritability, slurred speech, clumsy movements and possible respiratory depression and arrest. Valium addiction needs to be compared and treated similar to other drugs in the same category including:
- Barbiturates
- Xanax
- Halcion
- Rohypnol (so called "date-rape" drug)
- GHB
- Qualludes
- Phenobarbital
These are all serious narcotics as is Valium. They all slow down the central nervous system and when the user tries to stop, the mind will race out of control as it swings to the other extreme. This can cause brain seizures and other serious problems which is why medical supervision is recommended.
Staying in a treatment facility for an adequate period of time has been shown to dramatically increase the chances of success. Treatment offers answers and solutions to the consequences of Valium addiction including:
- Recurring craving and obsession for Valium
- Guilt and shame for depending on Valium
- Relationship problems with family and friends
- How to cope with stress without Valium
- How to treat anxiety and sleeplessness without Valium
