What are Benzodiazepines?

Benzodiazepines, often called "benzos," are a type of psychoactive drug used to treat a variety of conditions like anxiety, muscle spasms, insomnia and seizures. They are also commonly used in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal or other addictive substances. Ironically, benzodiazepines can also become addictive, leading to a need for immediate detox for assistance with benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms.
