Xanax, also known by its name “Alprazolam,” calms the brain and central nervous system. As such, it’s often prescribed to treat anxiety, panic disorders, and the like. However, it is habit forming and, due to how it makes people feel, it’s all too easy to become addicted. If you or someone that you love is struggling with Xanax, it is possible to get help. Here at Arision, we have helped many to not just treat their Xanax addiction, but to treat the underlying issues that cause the addiction.

With continued abuse, Xanax addiction can cause:
