Orchid provides comprehensive and compassionate care for people suffering from benzodiazepine addiction. We’re located in a serene setting in Chiang Mai, and we offer affordable luxury treatment for those who need it.
A Look at Benzodiazepine Addiction
Benzodiazepines slow down activity in your brain, and prolonged use can impact a person’s overall health. These medications have serious effects on your mind and body. Benzodiazepines like Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin are abused because of their sedative or mood-boosting effects. Constant use of these drugs can eventually lead to dependency that can be difficult to quit.
Detoxing from benzodiazepines can be challenging since it causes serious withdrawal symptoms. Through proper addiction treatment, people can overcome dependence on these substances and live a more fulfilling life. At Orchid, we have tailored programs that guide clients through detox and the recovery process.
Benzodiazepine Addiction at The Orchid
At The Orchid, our addiction treatment program starts with a comprehensive evaluation. We’ll assess the client’s medical history with the help of a full-time psychiatrist. Through the information from the evaluation, our team will create a customised treatment plan that addresses each client’s unique needs and health circumstances. One of the first steps of addiction treatment is detoxification. At Orchid, our detox programme will typically last around 5-7 days. Most clients will have the detox process at our facility, but for those with severe withdrawal symptoms, we may refer you to the nearby National Hospital for better care.
During addiction recovery, clients will go through different counselling sessions and therapeutic modalities. These are integrated into the treatment process to address the underlying psychological aspects of addiction. We also provide different kinds of holistic therapies daily so that clients have a more well-rounded experience during recovery. For clients with co-occurring mental health disorders, our team can also provide Dual Diagnosis treatment. Orchid promises to provide the best support possible during your treatment with our 24/7 treatment.
Why Choose Orchid for Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment
Comprehensive Detox for Withdrawal Symptoms
The Orchid offers a medically supervised detox for clients who want to safely withdraw from benzodiazepine. At our treatment centre, our detox process is under the care of a full-time psychiatrist. We cater to mild to moderate cases of detox. However, if detox is assessed to be complex, we may arrange to have the process done at the National Hospital, 30 minutes away from our facility.
Client-Centred Approach to Benzo Addiction Treatment
At The Orchid, we prioritise our clients in every decision. Our programs are designed to be flexible enough to reflect each client’s situation. During rehab, each client will learn the tools they need to manage triggers and develop long-term coping strategies. We’re here to help clients feel less alone during recovery.
Affordable Luxury Rehab in Thailand
Our facility, located in the heart of Chiang Mai, provides top-notch treatment without the high price tag. We combine serene accommodations with state-of-the-art medical care so that clients can let go of all stress while receiving treatment. Orchid’s affordability makes addiction treatment more accessible to those who need it.
Complimentary Aftercare Support
Recovery doesn’t stop when clients leave Orchid. We recognise the importance of aftercare support for long-term sobriety, so our inpatient treatment comes with two months of complimentary aftercare. Our team will conduct regular check-ins and provide relapse prevention strategies so that clients feel supported as they transition back to their normal lives.
Holistic Healing Approach to Recovery
At Orchid, we also use a holistic approach to recovery so that clients have a comprehensive healing experience. Some of our holistic techniques include daily yoga, mindfulness exercises, sound baths, and trauma-release exercises. These help support emotional balance in clients so that they feel more ready to address and face addiction.
LGBTQ+ and Couples-Friendly Environment
The Orchid welcomes clients of all gender identities and couples. We commit to a non-discriminatory environment so that everyone feels respected during treatment. This commitment to inclusivity also allows clients to learn more opinions and perspectives from others in recovery.
Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatments
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is when clients work with therapists to identify any negative thought patterns or behaviours that may contribute to their addiction. Learning about these habits can then help develop healthy coping mechanisms to overcome them. CBT is widely used in addiction treatment as it is proven effective in helping clients regain control over their lives.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a type of psychotherapy that helps clients regulate their moods. It's a great tool for clients who want to build skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is also used to address co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
During Motivational Interviewing (MI), clients will be asked a series of questions that aim to help them embrace change. This type of counselling approach is a collaboration between the therapist and the client. Aside from questions, therapists will also use affirmations and reflective listening to help clients overcome substance use disorders.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a psychotherapy approach that can help clients overcome distressing memories without requiring them to relive the traumatic event in detail. Traumatic memories may often contribute to addiction, and the use of bilateral stimulation during EMDR can help the brain effectively process trauma.
Group Therapy
During group therapy in rehab, people who share the same struggles can hear each other's experiences. It's a way for people in recovery to find community with other people so that they don't feel alone during treatment. Learning about other people's experiences can also instil hope and motivate personal change in clients.
Family Therapy
Towards the latter part of treatment, Orchid also offers family therapy. Addiction is a disease that can also impact the family as a whole, and family therapy can help promote healthier dynamics for recovery. During family therapy, family members can better understand addiction and learn tools to improve communication with one another.
Why Do People Abuse Benzodiazepine
Initial Prescription
Many people who abuse benzodiazepines start with a legitimate prescription for the drug. Healthcare professionals may prescribe benzodiazepines for conditions like anxiety, insomnia, or panic disorder. Long-term use of this prescription drug can create a physical dependence on the substance and impact the central nervous system. This usually happens if patients aren't closely monitored when the drug is prescribed to them.
Calming Effects and Stress Relief
Another reason why people become addicted to benzodiazepine is its calming effects. The drug enhances the activities of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. Since the drug is commonly prescribed for certain mental health disorders, it becomes appealing to those who deal with chronic stress. However, once a person becomes dependent on the drug, they may experience withdrawal symptoms when quitting.
Peer Influence
People may also develop an addiction to benzodiazepine because of peer influence. The drug's constant presence in certain environments or social circles may lead an individual to experiment with them. As they use these medications, they may become reliant on them to cope with stress and anxiety or even just to get through the day.
How to Select the Right Treatment Centre
Evaluate Medical Expertise
The expertise of the medical staff at a rehab centre is an important consideration when it comes to choosing the right treatment centre. A team of trained staff can provide the most appropriate kind of treatment for patients. At Orchid, we have a full-time psychiatrist, experienced nurses, and licensed therapists who can provide physical and psychological care.
Learn About Their Approaches and Therapies
The type of treatment approach can also influence how clients experience the recovery journey. A combination of evidence-based and holistic treatments can help provide a more well-rounded approach. The blend of the two approaches can help heal all aspects of addiction. It also equips clients with various skills to maintain long-term sobriety. At Orchid, we strive to provide this balanced approach to overcome dependency on harmful substances.
