Narconon of Georgia  

While many drug rehab statistics are nebulous, Narconon boasts a 76% success rate, based on a two year follow-up. A key to our success is the Narconon New Life Detoxification program. Through the use of a sauna, we provide body detoxification that can help eliminate or reduce cravings. Research has shown that, detoxification from drugs or alcohol should be followed by effective treatment to achieve long-term success. We provide that effective treatment. Our non-12 step approach provides life skills necessary to maintain sobriety and lead a successful life. These life skills will help the addict identify and resolve problems through learned techniques, rather than turn to drugs as they have in the past. For more information on how the Narconon program can help you or a loved one, go to www.drugsno.com or www.alternativesentence.com or call 877-413-3073.

    Xanax Addiction: Withdrawal Can Be Deadly

    Withdrawal From Xanax Addiction Can Cause Seizures, Death.

    Xanax is a benzodiazepine, a class of drug that acts as a sedative or tranquilizer. It is used as a central nervous system depressant. This type of prescription drug slows down normal brain function, and in higher doses, can act as a general anesthetic. 

    Benzodiazepines, such as alprazolam, or Xanax, are prescribed to treat anxiety, acute stress, and panic attacks. Abuse of Xanax, common in young adults, can lead to Xanax addiction.

     “We have seen many people come for drug addiction treatment that are addicted to Xanax, because it has a high potential for abuse and addiction,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director for the Atlanta Recovery Center. When a person first starts taking a Xanax, they may only feel sleepy or uncoordinated.  But then the body becomes accustomed to the effects of the drug, and these feelings begin to dissipate.  Used long term, the body develops tolerance for the drug.  Then larger and larger doses are needed to achieve the same initial effects, likely leading to drug addiction.
