XANAX (alprazolam)

Xanax is a short acting anti-anxiety prescription medication that is part of the benzodiazepine family.

It is most commonly prescribed as a short term treatment for anxiety and panic disorders although it is also sometimes prescribed for insomnia. It is one of the more commonly abused prescription drugs because its potent sedative, relaxant and hypnotic effects are felt quite quickly and intensely. These properties make it highly psychologically addictive and cause physical dependence quite easily.

Xanax is one of the more potentially addictive benzos, which means it also has a greater potential for overdose. Taking more than prescribed or mixing any benzodiazepine with other drugs, particularly alcohol, is very dangerous and can lead to coma or overdose and death.

Some people become addicted to Xanax after having it prescribed by a doctor. Many people also buy it illegally without prescription and have never been prescribed it. They may not even suffer from anxiety but just take it for its strong effect.

Xanax withdrawal

Xanax withdrawal requires clinical expertise and specialist knowledge as well as ongoing monitoring as stopping taking Xanax abruptly is very dangerous. In order to manage the symptoms, the individual needs to be weened off the drug gradually. Sometimes a less addictive prescription medication will be prescribed as a short-term measure to manage withdrawal symptoms. This regime is determined after the individual has been thoroughly assessed by a doctor and is closely monitored and adjusted according to symptoms. Doctors and clinical staff at treatment centres like Seasons Bali are highly trained and experienced in supporting clients through Xanax detox, which makes the process as safe and comfortable as possible. The length of the withdrawal period and severity of symptoms depends on how much the individual has been taking and for how long.

Xanax treatment

The most effective model for Xanax treatment is the residential therapeutic community model. This consists of a specific combination of therapeutic activities such as one-on-one counselling, process group work, educational groups and relapse prevention work as well as exercise, recreation, massage, art therapy and daily outings. The overall goal is to address the underlying causes of the addiction so that ongoing, long-term recovery is possible.

Another feature of the therapeutic community is that the majority of staff are in recovery themselves. Therefore, staff really understand what residents are going through and so their support and advice is well received by clients. This allows residents to feel more at ease and have greater faith in the program and hope for the future because they are being guided by people who have successfully achieved recovery from addiction.

I am writing this review to express my sincere gratitude and wholeheartedly recommend Seasons Bali to anyone seeking a path to lasting recovery. My six-month stay at Seasons Bali was, without exaggeration, life-saving. From the moment I … More reached out, it was clear that Seasons prioritizes people over profit, consistently going above and beyond to meet my needs and those of my fellow clients.
The admissions process was seamless. I got in contact easily via WhatsApp, and the team promptly arranged comfortable and reliable transportation. This immediate attention to detail set the tone for the exceptional care I would receive throughout my stay.
The clinical team at Seasons Bali is truly impressive. Upon arrival, I received a comprehensive bloodwork analysis and benefited from the constant supervision of a dedicated 24-hour nursing staff.
The treatment program itself is thoughtfully designed and comprehensive. It incorporates a blend of evidence-based practices and complementary therapies, including daily 12 step meetings and work, individual and group counseling, educational workshops, art therapy, yoga, massage, and alternative therapies.
The daily schedule was well-structured, with a balanced rhythm of therapeutic sessions and restorative rest periods. This thoughtful scheduling allowed me to fully engage in the treatment process without feeling overwhelmed. The staff consistently demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field of addiction recovery, and their compassionate approach created a safe and supportive environment for vulnerability and growth.
The facility at Seasons Bali is nothing short of stunning. My private room featured a personal plunge pool, powerful air conditioning, a comfortable bed with luxurious linens and pillows, and a writing desk. The staff were always readily available to assist with any need, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free environment.
The beautiful surroundings further enhanced the healing process. Morning walks on the beach and invigorating swims in the ocean were integral to my daily routine. The organized weekend trips were a delightful addition, offering opportunities for exploration, cultural immersion, and connection with my peers. We visited breathtaking waterfalls, participated in authentic Balinese cooking classes, embarked on snorkeling adventures, did charity work, explored local tourist sites, and enjoyed opportunities for shopping. It was really cool how all of the clients got to choose the excursions as a group.
Seasons provided the perfect, safe, and comfortable environment to undertake the deep emotional work necessary for lasting recovery. I left treatment equipped with a robust set of tools to navigate life's inevitable challenges and a strong foundation upon which to build a fulfilling, sober life.
I wholeheartedly recommend Seasons to anyone who is serious about achieving lasting sobriety. In my experience, the longer the stay, the more profound the transformation. During my six months there, I witnessed countless peers experience positive life changes, and I am eternally grateful to the entire staff for their unwavering care and support, especially to Rachael who always believed in me and went out of her way many times outside of work hours to attend to me. Seasons Bali didn't just help me get sober; they gave me the tools and the environment to truly heal and thrive.

How do I do a proper review for Seasons Bali when they literally saved my son’s life? (That’s not hyperbole either)
How do I convey to others that they REALLY CARE about helping a loved one on their recovery and that it’s not a half hearted … More effort or a money grab but a genuine commitment and passion?
How do you express gratitude, especially with how they didn’t give up despite significant hurdles his recovery presented?
How do I explain the measures and responsibility they took to ensure his safety and his medical needs were professionally addressed?
How can I describe the amazing empathetic support I was given during critical moments that eased my fears tremendously and helped me maintain my re-found hope?
How do I explain the relief that comes as a parent knowing from personal interactions, that your loved one is under the supervision of someone with clear depth and insight into addiction recovery?
How do I explain what it means to have hope again when it was all but lost over many years of trying to never give up?
I fear that to successfully answer those questions I am falling far short in expressing my thankfulness to all of the Seasons Bali staff and medical consultants.
Would I recommend them to anyone who needs hope and recovery from addiction?
WITH ALL MY HEART ❤️ Hal
🤗🤗🤗🤗 Rachael that’s for you.

Seasons changed + saved my life. I spent 7 months there. The primary care program was excellent and allowed me to work through difficult emotions and regulate them. Through the transitions program, I learned to reintegrate into society … More without the use of drugs. I worked with T and she was absolutely amazing. I’m approaching 1 year clean now and couldn’t have done it without this program.
Jack Piper ★★★★★ 3 months ago
Seasons was life-changing for me. I struggled reaching out for help, but am so happy to have ended up here of all places considering the path that I was on.
All staff were super welcoming and supportive.
The facility is peaceful and safe … More and extremely comfortable, in a gorgeous location right on the beach in a quiet part of Bali. There's a coral reef below glassy water which was beautiful to swim above every afternoon.
It really was a transformative experience and the most incredible place to spend some time while I learnt about addiction and ways to bring positive change into my life and I would highly recommend it!!
Thanks Seasons 🙂

I didn't even know I wanted recovery until I tasted freedom. The dedicated and qualified staff guided me through the darkness and helped me find the light. After 16years of addiction, I finally built a solid foundation of recovery. … More I'm just over one year clean/sober and still counting. I couldn't have done it alone.

To: Seasons Rehab Bali....
January 2019, my daughter was a everyday user of The Evil Drug 'ICE' .... My daughter was on the brink of Death, it was either send her to rehab, or arrange a funeral. I have had family friends that … More have been to Seasons Rehab, all with outstanding success. So we arranged for our daughter to go to Bali ASAP. Seasons Rehab is outstanding in every area. The facility is just like a 5 star resort. The staff are just outstanding and so very supportive to my daughter and to us. The program is amazing, the guidance and counselling is of top class level. The Transition House, is the facility to help the clients adjust to living in the mainstream of society. Seasons Rehab arranged a support worker to travel with our daughter to Australia in September for support to us in the time of need.
October 2019, my daughter has now completed 10 months at Seasons Rehab. My daughter is so confidence, so grateful, clean and sober, so much of a better person. The ongoing support, is outstanding, phone calls etc with her sponsor and support staff daily...
We will be forever grateful that Seasons Rehab 'Saved our Daughters Life' ...AMAZING !!!
We have our Daughter Back ❤️❤️❤️

Seasons saved my life.
5 Star doesn’t do it justice. 10 STARS
I went to seasons for 28 days in December 2021.
I would have stayed 3 months but financially that wasn’t an option.
All the staff and education were amazing. With international … More accreditations this is undoubtedly one of the best on Bali if you WANT to get clean and sober and stay that way.
Not just the professional councilors we’re amazing but the medical support team( picking me up and checking me out pre admittance) looking after all the clients 24 hours.
Drivers, housekeeping, cooks & the support workers were there for us day & night.
If you want an introduction to 12 step recovery & immediate integration to Bali Fellowship I can’t recommend Seasons team enough.
My story was 2 years pre admittance due to Covid, but from my 1st contact 6 months pre admittance to this day I receive ongoing support from the client liaison team.
I have been back to support others in recovery, am always welcome and look forward to going back to help others with there journey soon.
I just celebrated 6 months and my journey started at Seasons.
I’m really upset by recent negative reviews and felt called to share my truth.
12 STEP Recovery introduction doesn’t get better than this.
See you all for a Coconut Soon !

Came here in April 2021, this place literally saved my life. Done 3 months treatment, followed by 3 months transition which I have almost completed. I’ve seen the lives of so many people change here.. if you can afford it I really recommend … More completing 90 days as this certainly has the best success rate.. The staff are all lovely, good educational groups, yoga and gym, meditation.. 100% all round treatment for your mind, body and soul. Met some lifelong friends as well, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone. Richard and his excellent team have all been so supportive and I am very grateful to have had this opportunity to turn my life around.
Michelle Burrows ★★★★★ 3 years ago
A fantastically welcoming team of professionals that deeply care about each client’s recovery. I was so impressed by the staff’s accumulated years of experience & recovery shares that resulted in a balanced and unique knowledge base … More from individuals that have actually been through the whole healing process themselves.
The Seasons is ideally located right on the beach that affords clients the space & tranquillity needed to heal. A well thought out program involving counselling, meditation, yoga, great education, AA/NA meetings, & weekend activities.
If you are looking for a rehab that cares about your wellbeing both during treatment and after you have left, then I would fully recommend this beautiful setting where you can solely focus on yourself, your mind, your body & spirit, the Seasons Clinic, Bali.

Mikel Merino ★★★★★ 5 years ago
My wife and I attended the couple program in late 2019. We are both working professionals and found that our use of alcohol had begun to affect our lives in ways that we weren't comfortable with. I guess we were both nervous about … More attending and didn't know who we were going to meet. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by warm smiles and a ton of compassion. It was an incredible relief to meet people who were in the same boat as us and be guided by people who were in the boat but now safe on dry land. Giving up alcohol has been one of the hardest things I have had to do but now I am free, I cant express the joy that we both feel.Yesterday my wife and I sat on the beach and just watched the sun go down. That was something we would have never considered before. The staff at Seasons are really something else. They were like celestial beings to us. The food is wonderful and the place has a great energy. I loved the white water rafting. My wife loved the art therapy and local cultural events. We always thought rehab would be white hospital walls and people in white coats. Seasons proves that it doesn't have to be clinical. We met incredible people and had a challenging but utterly rewarding and blissful awakening!

My name is Steven i arrived at seasons Bali in 2016, i had been in active addiction for 20 years. I started my carpentry apprenticeship when i was 16 and from that moment on drugs and alcohol seemed to be part of my toolbox. What i started … More to notice from very early on that other people that i associated with could pull up after a big weekend and not have to use or drink through the week like i did, i needed a substance to get through daily life and if i did not i was left feeling uneasy and discontent. Many years went by and did not think i had a problem as i was working running my own construction company that was very successful earning a lot money. In 2002 i started using meth amphetamine on a daily basis for almost 14 years i found my life revolved around going to work on drugs to get money to get more drugs, what i found out later on when i arrived at seasons Bali is that i was caught in the cycle of addiction and needed help. My sister and my mother paid for me to go as i was broke and broken , for once in my life i was at a place where i could take some time out and get the help i needed, all of the support staff had once been in addiction themselves so they understood what i was going through. After about two weeks i had detoxed and they showed me how i could live and enjoy life without the use of drugs and alcohol. at the end of my 90 day program i had a much more clear outlook on life and felt hopeful for once, i am now 3 years clean and sober and life could not be better i have achieved goals, been on holidays, and have awesome new hobbies life is great and i am grateful to the crew at seasons and i make it a point to stop in every year to show my gratitude and give hope to other clients.

My husband went to Seasons on June 2019 a broken man, a man who had ran out of reasons to breath. He had lived 30years of his 43year struggling with addiction and mental health associated with addiction. He was withdrawn, angry, unmotivated … More and sad 100% of the time.Our marriage was over we were both just existing in a loveless life.There had been so much damage done over the 28years that we had been together and so many attempts at change that Season was just our last shot before we excepted that we would need to go our separate and that addiction would rob my husbands of his happiness, his children and his willingness to breath.Wow...????????????????Is one word that comes to mind..What Seasons has done for my husband and our family has been so much more than we could ever have dreamt of.The level of commitment and support given to my husband made him feel safe allowing him to get clean and sober after 30years.My husband has now been clean and sober 7 months, his found his smile, his humour and most importantly he likes himself!Thank you Seasons ????I will forever be grateful.
