What is Ambien?

Ambien is a trade name for the medication, zolpidem, and it is prescribed to help treat patients suffering from insomnia and other brain disorders. In recent years, Ambien has become popular as a recreational drug, which as a result has caused many people to develop an addiction to the prescription medication.

When an individual is addicted to Ambien, it can be very difficult to stop using the medication. In fact, Ambien withdrawal symptoms will usually affect the individual on both a psychological level as well as a physical one.

Symptoms of Ambien Withdrawal

The withdrawal symptoms associated with an addiction to Ambien can often be very powerful and sometimes extremely dangerous. Here are some of the potential symptoms of Ambien withdrawal:

  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Agitation
  • Hallucinations
  • Confusion
  • Loss of personal identity
  • Aggressive behavior
  • Insomnia
  • Anxiety
  • Severe depression

Because of the severity of Ambien withdrawal, it is not uncommon for the individual to begin a vicious cycle of using and discontinuing their use. When they try to stop using Ambien, the withdrawal symptoms become so severe that they begin using it again to help eliminate the discomfort. This is why it is so important to be treated for your Ambien addiction in a drug rehab facility that can offer a safe and medically-supervised detox program.

Treating Ambien Withdrawal

If someone is abusing or addicted to Ambien, their best course of action is to be admitted into a residential drug rehab. This provides them with the absolute best opportunity for both minimizing the effects of Ambien withdrawal and for recovering from their addiction to the drug.

When a patient undergoes a medical detox, all traces of the drug is eliminated from the body, thus allowing the body to re-acclimate itself to proper function. A medical detox is necessary because it provides constant monitoring of the patient's health and it offers the benefit of certain detox medications that can reduce the severity of the Ambien withdrawal symptoms.
