WHAT WE TREAT
At Paracelsus Recovery, we’re here to help you break free from your Klonopin addiction, no matter how difficult that may seem. Our holistic and practical treatment programmes provide safe support through detox, address the root causes of your addiction, and help restore your health and well-being.
Klonopin is a benzodiazepine that can be extremely addictive. Benzodiazepines like Klonopin are sedatives designed to treat various conditions such as anxiety, panic attacks, and seizures. Klonopin works by enhancing the effects of the neurotransmitter GABA in our brain. GABA is a tranquilising neurotransmitter, and billions of brain cells respond to its signals. When someone feels overly anxious, the brain becomes excited and over-active. Klonopin contains chemicals that can counteract these over-active chemical messengers, and keep the brain in a more tranquilised state. However, as a result, benzodiazepines like Klonopin are highly addictive and can lead to severe physical and psychological dependence as well as many psychological issues.
Because Klonopin works by slowing brain function in the central nervous system (CNS), individuals taking more than the recommended dose of the drug may become more inactive and apathetic than they used to be. As such, the more a person abuses it or exceeds their recommended dosage, the more they will feel unable to cope without the drug. This can quickly result in a tolerance to Klonopin, which can lead to more abuse, larger doses and a dependency. Due to the power of the drug, it is also possible to become addicted to Klonopin by taking only the amount prescribed by their doctor.
When sedatives such as Klonopin are mixed with other central nervous system depressants, like alcohol, the CNS becomes severely depressed. The CNS is the subconscious part of the body that works to regulate breathing and heart rates. If it becomes too depressed, it has the potential to stop or ‘forget’ to function altogether. This can result in someone struggling to breathe or stopping breathing and a dangerously slowed heart rate.
If you have developed a Klonopin addiction, you can overcome it. However, it can be extremely challenging to detox from Klonopin without professional, structured support. Often, the only way to do this is to undergo a medical detox to manage the physical withdrawal symptoms and to work with mental health experts to manage the psychological withdrawal.
Through our combination of medical, psychological and personal care, we are proud to be the only clinic in the world that addresses co-occurring conditions and every possible root-cause of Klonopin addiction. In doing so, we can help you recover in a matter of weeks, rather than years or months.
bespoke treatment
How we treat Klonopin addiction
We can’t tell you exactly what your four-week stay will entail, as each individual’s path to overcoming Neurontin addiction is unique. At Paracelsus Recovery, we recognise that each individual requires an entirely bespoke treatment plan moulded to their needs. There is no pre-defined treatment path for our patients, nor do we adopt a specific treatment model. Instead, we advocate for a completely pragmatic approach to addiction; whatever works best for you to achieve your goals.
Each of your days with us will be thoughtfully structured to include a variety of carefully selected therapies designed to help you overcome your Klonopin dependency. Every single step in the recovery process, from managing your withdrawal to intensive therapy, is tailored to you. All the therapies and treatments work in harmony with each other to heal not only the physical aspects of addiction but also the emotional and psychological factors involved. See below for more details.
Our approach considers the whole person: mind, body and soul
We understand that everyone’s journey is different, which is why we never take a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Instead, we carefully tailor each programme to meet your unique needs. While we prioritise the latest treatment methods and holistic care, it’s your individual circumstances that ultimately shape how we work with you.
As part of your recovery from Klonopin dependence, we provide a carefully supervised withdrawal process, incorporating medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and IV therapy to ensure a smooth and comfortable detox. A core aspect of our approach is comprehensive testing to identify the underlying factors contributing to your dependency. With this knowledge, we design a fully customised treatment plan tailored to support lasting recovery. Your bespoke programme will feature a diverse range of therapies, including biofeedback, nutritional therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), sleep therapies, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), acupuncture, and equine therapy.
In addition to addressing the root causes of addiction, we focus on the broader effects of Klonopin use, treating any neurological or physical imbalances that may have developed. Our holistic approach blends intensive psychotherapy, biochemical restoration, and complementary therapies –all of which work together in harmony to reduce stress, enhance well-being, and support a long-term, sustainable recovery.
