Although certain medications can be prescribed by a doctor, they can still be dangerous – and can be abused, just like illicit substances can. However, following your doctor’s instructions when taking prescription drugs is sure to lower the risk.
Prescription drug refers to taking prescribed medication in any way other than prescribed by a doctor. This may include taking more than prescribed, mixing with other drugs, taking prescribed medication to feel ‘high’, and more.
Taking too much diazepam can be dangerous – it can lead to suicidal thoughts, hallucinations, seizures, and risk-taking behaviour.
The two main risks of substance abuse are developing an addiction and physical dependence and having a drug overdose. Valium abuse can lead to an overdose, which can be fatal. This is why it’s so important to recognise the signs of a Valium overdose.
Some signs of an overdose from Valium include:
If you notice these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Certain factors can increase the risk of having an overdose. For example, combining diazepam with other drugs or with alcohol, taking a dangerously high dose, or taking it for a longer period than prescribed.
The first stage of Valium addiction treatment involves a Valium detox – which aims at removing the physical addiction to the drug.
When you’re detoxing from Valium, you may experience withdrawal symptoms – some of which can be especially uncomfortable. This is why many people wish to undergo medical detox/medically assisted detox – under the supervision of medical professionals.
The length of time it takes to detox from Valium can vary – but factors such as your age, height, weight, and personal experiences can determine the detox timeline.
Detoxification alone doesn’t address the psychological aspects of addiction – this is something that is explored during addiction therapy.
