Klonopin Addiction & Abuse: Facts & Risks

Benzodiazepines are well-known for their addictive properties. These drugs are some of the most commonly abused prescription medications in the United States and around the world. Clonazepam, which is the active ingredient of a drug more widely known as Klonopin, is a tranquilizer prescribed by doctors to treat anxiety and seizure disorders, as well as panic attacks. It works similarly to Xanax.

Although doctors prescribe Klonopin with good intentions, it's an extremely powerful drug that can lead many people down a dark spiral of dependence that can last for years. Clonazepam addiction is no joke. If you, or your loved one need help, and you're considering a drug rehab in Thailand, Miracles Asia is one of the best places to get it.

Realizing that you have a drug abuse problem is the very first step of the recovery process. It might sound like an overdone cliché, but that doesn't make it any less true. Quitting Klonopin is not going to be an easy journey, but with the right professionals by your side, you can come out on the other side as a healthier, happier person with a better understanding of yourself.

If you had Klonopin prescribed to you by a doctor and are unsure whether or not you're addicted, ask yourself the following questions:

If your answer to any one of these questions was "yes," then you should start looking for Klonopin addiction treatment as soon as you can. When you're addicted to benzodiazepines, you start building up a tolerance to the active components, which leads to you needing to take continuously increasing doses to feel the same effects. This, in turn, can cause overdose and a myriad of other effects that arise from consuming too much clonazepam on a daily basis. Some of the signs of Klonopin abuse include:

The side effects of Klonopin abuse will get stronger the longer you keep taking the drug. Just like in the case of other benzodiazepines, your dependence on clonazepam can become so strong that you won't be able to imagine life without it, even despite all the damage that it does to your body.

Many individuals also use Klonopin in tandem with other substances. Alcohol is most frequently abused alongside clonazepam, as the benzodiazepine enhances its effects. However, it can be an extremely dangerous combination. When you're drunk and high on klonopin, you lose all sense of proportion, time, and responsibility. You won't be able to properly pay attention to your dosage, which can result in an overdose. As a strong central nervous system depressant, clonazepam slows down your breathing and heart rate. In the case of an overdose, it can bring it down almost to a complete halt. Coma and even death are not out of the question when you overdose on this drug. Other symptoms of benzodiazepine abuse include:

Frequently mixing alcohol with drugs is an easy way to kill oneself without even being aware of what's going on until it's too late. Thankfully, since you're reading this, it's not too late to turn your life around. You don't have to undertake the recovery journey all by yourself. With the right Klonopin addiction treatment provider, you can overcome your physical dependence on the drug and get your personal life back on track.

As we already mentioned, the rehabilitation process isn't easy or short. The most effective Klonopin treatment is inpatient care at a treatment center with multiple doctors, support groups, and mental health professionals who specialize in addiction treatment. 

This is exactly what you can get from Miracles Asia. Our state-of-the-art facilities and staff members who have experienced addiction first-hand, are more than well-equipped to help you out. Reach out to us today to see what we can offer you.

One of the most difficult things about any type of drug addiction is facing the withdrawal symptoms. It takes immense willpower and mental strength to overcome them all by yourself. Seeing as addiction to Klonopin is already incredibly mentally taxing, it's never recommended to quit cold turkey without any sort of support structure around you.

Even intensive outpatient programs are sometimes not enough to keep patients from falling for the triggers that lead them right back to their drug of choice. In order to truly detach yourself from clonazepam, a more radical approach might be necessary.

Inpatient treatment centers are often associated with unpleasant, hospital-like facilities with staff members who don't treat you well, bad food, and absolutely nothing to do in your leisure time. If you wanted to get access to high-quality inpatient care in the United States, you would have to shell out a fortune just to get on the waiting list. It doesn't have to be that way. At Miracles Asia, we believe that everybody has the right to affordable and effective treatment for Klonopin addiction.

You deserve high-quality care that will fully equip you to lead a better life once you've fully recovered. Our residential rehab facilities in Thailand are more resembling of a luxurious vacation resort than a rehab center. Not only will you get the best possible care and treatment, but you'll also have the opportunity to unwind and relax in pristine surroundings and take part in fun group activities that are going to help you envision a fulfilling, drug-free life.

You will get all the help you need to obtain the necessary paperwork to arrive in Thailand without any trouble, including getting picked up at the airport and driven to our center. Once you are shown your private room, you'll have some time to rest after the journey and settle into your new surroundings.

Once you're fully rested and ready to get started, you'll be introduced to our staff and start therapy.

All Miracles Asia patients are housed in five-star private rooms with a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom, high-speed WiFi and a large, flat-screen TV. We expect you to work hard on your recovery, and a major part of being able to do so is having the space to relax and rest up after a long day of individual and group therapy.

Our lounge areas are where you'll be spending a lot of your time. This is where morning group meetings and grounding sessions take place. There's always someone to talk to in the lounge area, too; you'll get to know your fellow patients and staff members there during downtime.

On top of that, there's a comfortable dining area where you'll take most of your meals during your stay, four swimming pools, and a library where you will be able to continue broadening your self-improvement knowledge outside of therapy.

Group and individual therapy, counselling sessions, and professional treatment are not all there is to recovery. At Miracles Asia, you'll also be able to partake in a wide variety of sports and activities, such as Sunday excursions to some of the most beautiful sites in Phuket, work out at a world-class gym, take yoga classes, and enjoy relaxing Thai massages. Self-care is incredibly important in terms of making your recovery easier, and at Miracles Asia, we encourage all our patients to make full use of what our facilities have to offer in that regard.

Klonopin is a long-acting benzodiazepine. You can feel its effects for as long as 50 hours after ingestion. When the peaceful, euphoric Klonopin high wears off, anxiety and paranoia set in not long afterwards. The Klonopin detoxification process can therefore be extremely difficult, especially if you struggle with a panic disorder or physical and mental health issues on top of that. This is why moving away from your usual surroundings and leaving the stresses of your day-to-day life behind can be so helpful when it comes to quitting that particular drug (and other benzodiazepines).

In Thailand, you're going to be surrounded by top professionals, with 24/7 access to an on-site nurse. You'll barely feel the medical supervision, too, seeing as your days will be filled with intense therapy sessions, leisure activities, and excursions that will take your mind off of your addiction to Klonopin.

As an individual struggling with substance abuse issues, you might feel like your clonazepam addiction is too strong to overcome. That's a common feeling among our patients. If you're reading this and are willing to seek treatment, it means you're already on the right track. Take a look at our homepage to get a sense of what Miracles Asia can offer you or your loved one.
