Xanax is the more common and the brand name for the drug alprazolam. It is a medication that is typically prescribed to treat different levels of anxiety and panic disorders. Xanax has grown to be very popular and remains to be one of the most commonly prescribed medications amongst the United States population.
Xanax is a sedative-type of medication meant to slow down different thinking capabilities and can also affect a number of other brain processes. When this drug is prescribed and taken correctly in small doses, the effect is proven to be very useful when managing various disorders, such as anxiety. Individuals who suffer from a form of anxiety often possess unusually high levels of stress and worry compared to their peers.

Individuals who suffer from a form of anxiety often possess unusually high levels of stress and worry compared to their peers.
Despite the many different ways this drug has proven to be extremely helpful to so many people who suffer from these related disorders, Xanax is also a very addictive substance that can cause dangerous complications to an individual’s health. Developing an addiction to this drug can begin even if the individual uses the drug correctly and as prescribed by their doctor. Although a Xanax addiction can be produced this way, it is infrequent.
The prescribing doctors will always take heed to any warning signs that will become visible before a full-blown addiction is developed. The dangerous habits are seen much more often to occur when an individual does not follow the medical professional’s instructions, and the drug is abused.
Upon entering a certified drug and alcohol addiction treatment facility such as SoCal Sunrise in Mission Viejo to treat a present Xanax addiction, the individual will then enter the critical initial phase of medical detox. During the medical detox phase of the rehab program, the primary goal of our addiction specialists is to be available to monitor the process as the patient’s body metabolizes and removes the Xanax from their system.
Having the various methods of this program, followed closely by qualified health professionals, is essential because, in most cases, this involves uncomfortable and oftentimes dangerous situations for the patient. Because of the full range of medical complications that may occur because of all of a sudden quitting heavy drug use, it is vital to obtain this form of treatment under the close supervision of credentialed medical experts.
A medically-supervised or medically-assisted detox program significantly lowers the risk of relapse because the individual in treatment does not even have the option of drinking or using their drug of choice again. Trying to endure a drug detox at home can be dangerous, frightening, and is strongly discouraged by all medical industry professionals. The awful withdrawal symptoms that are associated with the detox process do not just affect a person’s body, but can also cause damage to their brain as well.
If left to their own devices, a person does not even have to be experiencing the more severe symptoms to become incredibly anxious or suffer from delusions that can make them a threat to themselves or others. Our certified addiction treatment facility in Mission Viejo favors the combination of medical and psychiatric procedures to help each of our patients gain a sober body and healthy mind.
The experience of Xanax detoxification programs and the accompanying withdrawal symptoms can often be torturing, but unfortunately is a necessary step along the pathway to a healthy long-term recovery. These symptoms are typically seen to happen in a progression. Beginning with withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, tremors, and muscle spasms, and leading to intense cravings and mood swings.
The severity of the withdrawal symptoms varies greatly depending on how much of the drug and for how long the drug had been abused.
The half-life of Xanax is about 11 hours, meaning that it can take up to 50 hours for the body to r eliminate the drug from the body altogether. Although this may seem like a long time, it is interesting to learn that Xanax has one of the shortest half-lives when compared to the many other drugs that are classified as benzodiazepines. Therefore, withdrawal symptoms can start to be visible and felt more quickly compared to other similar drugs.
This information considered, it is important to understand when an individual decides to stop taking the drug, potent substances such as Xanax should be tapered for safety. Quitting “cold-turkey” can lead to severe health complications and side-effects. Some of the more commonly seen physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms seen during Xanax detox programs include:
Xanax withdrawals can last anywhere from weeks to months. Some individuals have even experienced different withdrawal symptoms for years after the last time the drug was taken. Xanax, along with other benzodiazepines, are unique based on how long it’s symptoms can last.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email michael@socalsunrise.com
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to michael@socalsunrise.com
