Ambien Addiction

Testimonials

"First a big thank you to you and your staff at the Christian rehab. It saved my husband's life and has ended up bringing our entire family closer together. It proved more difficult than I ever could have imagined to find a Christian rehab. It seemed so many other rehabs said they were Christ centered, but upon further investigation, it was just a marketing scheme. I m happy to say your rehab restored my husband's faith along with blessing him with his sobriety."
Ann B., Cleveland, Ohio

"I am now sober for eight months and active in church again. Who would ever have thought I could do it. I was so scared, but you made my detox comfortable, could always have used more medication though, just a joke. I am attending Christian counseling two times a week and it really helps. Again thanks, taking it one day at a time!"
Brad C., Jacksonville, Florida

"My son's life was a mess. He had been arrested twice for DUI's and was only getting worse each and every day. If it wasn't for your treatment center, I can't imagine where he would have ended up. I would recommend your Christian rehab, as he calls it, to anyone."
Beverly W., Omaha, Nebraska

"A Christian drug rehab, who would have thought I would have ever ended up there. Although when I took a look at my college studies it was clear I majored in opiates and alcohol. As you can tell, I have regained my sense of humor, am back in school and have put together six months of continued sobriety. I just wanted to say thanks."
George H., Knoxville, Tennessee

Ambien Addiction

Ambien addiction is a risk for anyone who takes this drug for extended periods of time. Many Ambien addictions begin when an individual forgets their recommended dosage and takes Ambien more frequently or in larger amounts than they should. The elderly are often at a greater risk for taking the wrong amount of a prescription drug due to the fact that they may be on a variety of prescribed medication.

Ambien is in a category of newer sleep medications, now more commonly prescribed to treat sleep disorders. These medications are nonbenzodiazepines that act at a subset of the benzodiazepine receptors and appear to have a lower risk for abuse and addiction - however, tolerance will develop over days, weeks or months of extended use.

Even when used as recommended, Ambien may produce emotional and/or physical dependence. At doses greater than 4 mg per day, Ambien has the potential to cause an Ambien addiction of severe emotional and physical dependence in some patients and these individuals may find it exceedingly difficult to stop using this medication.

Ambien Abuse

Some people abuse Ambien intentionally. Forms of Ambien abuse include:

Using more than the prescribed amount (usually 4 mg per day)

Using it for a longer time than is prescribed (2 weeks at the most)

Mixing it with other substances such as alcohol

Crushing and snorting the pills or cooking it for an intravenous injection

Intentionally fighting the effects of the drug, putting off sleep in order to experience euphoria, or auditory/visual distortions and possibly hallucinations
