When you take a prescription medication from the benzodiazepine family in conjunction with alcohol, it intensifies the reactions of both. As a result, this can lead to dangerous or even fatal consequences. Never mix prescription medications with alcohol or other drugs unless you speak with your physician first. Furthermore, benzos and alcohol together can make you very sick and cause your heart to stop beating. To learn more about our men’s addiction treatment programs, contact Red Oak Recovery today at 828.382.9699.

Mixing Benzos and Alcohol

Benzodiazepines, or benzos, are a class of drug used to treat anxiety and other medical problems, including:

  • Panic disorder
  • Sleep disruption
  • Seizure
  • Muscle spasms
  • Nerve pain

These drugs are depressants that work by slowing activity within your central nervous system. In general, they help you feel calm and relaxed, both mentally and physically. Not surprisingly, depressants such as these slow your heartbeat and often make you feel pleasantly sleepy.

Alcohol is a depressant as well and performs the same functions, however. As a result, mixing benzos and alcohol intensifies the sleepiness and causes the heart to beat even more slowly. Sadly, it’s easy to mix these two chemical substances in such a way that your heart completely stops. You may go to sleep and never wake up again.

Help for Substance Use Disorder Involving Benzos and Alcohol

Therefore, if you frequently combine benzos and alcohol, you may have a substance use disorder. Many people who have this condition aren’t aware they have it. For example, they feel like they’re managing their lives perfectly well, but all the time, they’re engaging in dangerous, possibly fatal routines. Combining chemical substances is an early sign of substance use disorder. If this sounds like you, Red Oak Recovery offers an excellent drug and alcohol addiction treatment program in North Carolina. Call today to find out more about how we can help.
