What is Librium?

Librium is the trade name given to the substance chlordiazepoxide, a benzodiazepine drug that is widely used to treat anxiety disorders and alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Librium is a sedative-hypnotic medication that also has amnestic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties. Problematic psychoactive substances are often divided into three separate categories: central nervous system (CNS) depressants, CNS stimulants, and hallucinogens. All sedative medications are CNS depressants, with some benzodiazepines, including Librium, also referred to as tranquilizers. Librium was discovered purely by chance in the mid-1950s and was the first benzodiazepine drug ever synthesized.

The Effects of Librium

Librium is classified as a Schedule IV by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), as well as a controlled drug under the international Convention on Psychotropic Substances. It is available in a range of formulations around the world, both as a single-ingredient medication and a medication conjoined with other substances. Librium is either administrated orally or via intramuscular injection. It is only legally available in the United States with a valid prescription from a licensed doctor. The drug has a medium to long half-life, making it ideal for short-term treatment of anxiety disorders and alcohol withdrawal syndrome. When taken together with Amitriptyline, also known as Limbitrol, Librium can be used for the treatment of new daily persistent headache disorder (NDPH).

Librium is effective when used for the treatment of sleep and anxiety disorders, as it promotes relaxing and sedative sensations.  However, there are a number of undesirable side effects associated with Librium that are often experienced by users, some of which include:

Extensive exposure to Librium can lead to tolerance and physical dependence over time. Some people who take Librium for medical conditions can become dependent on the drug after months or years of psychiatric use, whereas others can develop a dependency after extensive recreational abuse. While Librium and other benzodiazepines are largely thought to be safe for short-term use, long-term use is controversial due to the propensity for addiction. According to recent reviews by the Committee on Review of Medicines, Institute of Medicine, and National Institute on Drug Abuse in the United States, benzodiazepines drugs are not intended for long-term treatment of insomnia or anxiety conditions.

Signs of Librium Dependence

In order to determine the presence of an addiction, a person must meet at least 6 of the criteria listed in the DSM-5. If someone you love is taking Librium and showing signs of benzodiazepine abuse, it is possible they have developed a Librium dependence. Common signs of Librium addiction include:

• Taking larger amounts than prescribed.
• Taking the drug more frequently than prescribed.
• Taking Librium for longer than intended (should only be prescribed for short-term use, long-term use can lead to dependence).
• Unable to cut down or stop using.
• Obtaining and taking Librium becomes a priority, taking precedence over everything else in life.
• Failure to uphold to personal obligations and responsibilities at school, work, or at home.
• Taking Librium and engaging in risky behavior or performing dangerous tasks, such as driving while under the influence of Librium.
• Experiencing strong cravings to use.
• Suffers symptoms of withdrawal when they miss a dose or attempt to stop taking Librium.

These are major signs that you or your loved one is in need of Librium addiction treatment. Restore Drug Rehab Center offers several valuable programs to people those suffering to finally overcome Librium dependence. With time, determination, effort, and patience our clinical professionals can help you lead a sober life for the long-term.

Librium Addiction Treatment Programs Available at Restore

Librium addiction treatment often begins with detox and is then followed by comprehensive and therapeutic rehabilitation programs. Librium detox is used to treat benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome, which includes a gradual dose reduction of the drug, often known as tapering. The process of tapering helps to better avoid the dangers of an abrupt withdrawal. Patients who successfully complete detox are then highly encouraged to transition to in-depth addiction treatment, such as those found in inpatient or residential rehab, or outpatient treatment.

At Restore Drug Treatment LA we offer a full continuum of care, which includes detox, residential rehab, intensive and regular outpatient treatment, as well as aftercare programs. Counseling programs and rehabilitative techniques are incorporated into these treatment settings, however, patients traditionally have more to gain from taking part in a residential rehab program. While seeking residential treatment for Librium abuse at Restore Drug Rehab Center, you can expect the following programs to be a part of your recovery plan:

• Psychotherapy
• Relapse Prevention Programs.
• Motivational Interviewing
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Dual Diagnosis Treatment
• Counseling: individual, group, and family therapy
• Holistic Treatments
• Aftercare Support and Alumni Programs

Many clients choose to use outpatient treatment as a step-down program. Those who participate in outpatient following the completion of residential rehab, do so because they believe they are not ready for independent living or need additional healing before they can leave treatment. Other clients, however, use outpatient treatment as their initial level of care.

Outpatient treatment is not the best fit for everyone but is a beneficial option for people with unique circumstances, such as those who are dependent on less severe drugs, who have a mild addiction, or who need treatment but are unable take time away from responsibilities at work, home, or school. The outpatient treatment program at Restore allows clients to keep up with responsibilities outside of rehab and then return to us at night for counseling and other therapy sessions. Patients of our outpatient programs also continue living at home during the course of treatment. However, although this treatment option may be appealing to many people seeking recovery from addiction, not everyone will benefit from this form of care.

Many people struggling with substance abuse problems or addiction will need to undergo treatment in a residential setting in order for recovery to be possible.
