Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment in Las Vegas
Benzodiazepine Addiction Can Feel Like a Trap—But You Can Break Free
Benzodiazepines (benzos) like Xanax, Ativan, Valium, and Klonopin are often prescribed for anxiety, panic attacks, and sleep disorders. But over time, what started as a helpful medication can become a dangerous dependency. If you feel like you need benzos just to get through the day, or if stopping them causes withdrawal symptoms, you’re not alone. At Titan Recovery Centers, we specialize in helping people safely detox and recover from benzodiazepine addiction—so you can get your life back.
Benzos are powerful drugs—but with the right addiction treatment, you can take back control.
What Is Benzodiazepine Addiction?
Benzodiazepine addiction is the physical and psychological dependence on benzos. Benzos work by slowing down the central nervous system (CNS), producing a sense of calm, relaxation, and sedation. Over time, the brain adjusts, and you need higher doses to feel the same effects (tolerance).
If you stop taking benzos suddenly, your brain rebounds, causing withdrawal symptoms that can be severe and even fatal. Long-term benzodiazepine addiction can cause cognitive issues, mood instability, and dangerous withdrawal symptoms.
Note: Even if you were prescribed benzos, dependence can develop quickly. If you feel like you can’t stop, it’s time to seek help.

Statistics on Benzodiazepine Usage in Las Vegas & the US
Benzodiazepines, commonly prescribed for conditions such as anxiety and insomnia, have seen significant use and misuse in the United States, including Nevada. Here are four pertinent statistics:
Approximately 12.6% of U.S. adults reported benzodiazepine use in the past year, with 10.4% using them as prescribed and 2.2% misusing them. PMC+2PubMed+2Psychiatry Online+2
Young adults aged 18–25 have the highest rate of benzodiazepine misuse at 5.2%, whereas adults aged 65 and older have the lowest misuse rate at 0.6%. PMC+2Psychiatry Online+2PubMed+2
In Nevada, approximately 85% of benzodiazepine-related overdose deaths also involve opioids, highlighting the dangers of concurrent use. Nevada DHHS
From 2019 to 2020, benzodiazepine overdose visits per 100,000 emergency department visits increased by 23.7%, both with (34.4%) and without (21.0%) opioid co-involvement. CDC
Benzodiazepines alone can be dangerous—but when combined with opioids, the risk of overdose and death increases dramatically. This combination is responsible for the majority of benzo-related fatalities. These statistics underscore the importance of monitoring benzodiazepine prescriptions and educating the public about the risks associated with misuse, especially when combined with other substances like opioids.
