Nitrazepam Addiction Treatment | Detox and Rehab

The prospect of withdrawal is one of the biggest obstacles that put people off seeking treatment. You may have already tried to quit Nitrazepam before and experienced some Nitrazepam withdrawal symptoms. These usually begin within a day of stopping with common symptoms including:

• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Irritability
• Nausea
• Sweating
• Tremors

After a few days, these symptoms reach their peak intensity and it is then that medical help like that available at Linwood House is most important. Your doctors will prepare a Nitrazepam detox plan for you which will probably involve you taking gradually less and less Nitrazepam each day to slowly wean you off it. They may also give you other medicines so you don’t feel so bad and are able to get some rest.

In people with serious underlying health problems or who have been using Nitrazepam for a long time, there is a risk of more dangerous Nitrazepam withdrawal symptoms including:

• Seizures
• Hallucinations
• Delirium
• Psychosis

If this includes you, our medical team will provide round-the-clock care to prevent these symptoms from occurring. They will also adjust your detox plan as needed to avoid any issues that may arise.

By the end of the second week, you should find that Nitrazepam withdrawal symptoms are beginning to fade, and you should be sleeping better and feeling more like yourself. Most people will end withdrawal at around the two-week mark, but a few may still feel some ongoing symptoms like anxiety or insomnia for another month or so. They will receive extra help to manage these symptoms until they have all passed.

Overcoming Nitrazepam addiction is an incredible victory, but it is just the beginning of your new life. At Linwood House, we will be there to help you long after you leave us so that you are never alone again to struggle.

The road to recovery always has its ups and downs but having a game plan can really help you stay on track. We will help you put together a personal relapse prevention plan during your time in rehab to keep you moving forward and handle whatever life throws at you.

Here are some effective strategies that will likely form part of your plan:

Living healthy

Eating right, exercising and getting enough sleep can make a big difference in how you feel. Remember that a healthy body supports a healthy mind and both are key for relapse prevention.

Spotting your triggers

Your therapy sessions will help identify what might tempt you to use Nitrazepam again and come up with ways to handle those situations. Being prepared in this way can help you stay strong when you feel at your most vulnerable.
