About Extended Benzodiazepines

What Are Extended Benzodiazepines?

Extended benzodiazepines are depressants, commonly known by the product names of Restoril, Serax, Nordaz, Ativan, Halcion, Rohypnol, and many others. These are prescribed for the treatment of anxiety, panic attacks, seizures, or sleeping disorders. However, due to their sedative effects, many benzos are also abused as a date rape drug. Although frequently portrayed by the entertainment industry as an innocuous drug to promote relaxation in times of stress, the documentary As Prescribed uncovers the real life devastation of benzodiazepine drug abuse and addiction.

If you need to identify drug use further back than one week, Health Street's hair drug testing option can identify usage approximately 90 days back.

Health Street provides services for benzo drug tests, and a professional medical review officer can determine whether or not an individual is abusing the drug by reviewing the benzodiazepines drug test results.
