Ativan addiction has currently skyrocketed in the United States because the drug is easy to access as it is liberally prescribed throughout the United States. Most people, who take Ativan as prescribed by a physician, will take it responsibly; however, the nonmedical use or abuse of Ativan and other types of similar benzodiazepines remains a serious public health concern. Long-term users of the medication will eventually develop a tolerance to the sedative, requiring larger doses of the drug in order to achieve the desired effects. A person can develop both a psychological and a physical dependence on Ativan, making it difficult for them to discontinue the drug without seeking the professional assistance of a quality drug rehab program. Some individuals who abuse prescription sedatives such as Ativan will use the drug to bring them down after using stimulants such as methamphetamine or cocaine, and others may take it to enhance the effects of alcohol.
