1(800) 615-1067Xanax is not a medication specifically approved for the treatment of alcoholism, and its use for this purpose is not recommended. While Xanax may help alleviate some of the anxiety and discomfort associated with alcohol withdrawal, it can also be highly addictive and potentially dangerous when used improperly. Additionally, abruptly stopping the use of Xanax after prolonged use can lead to withdrawal symptoms, including seizures, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of Xanax with a qualified healthcare professional before using it for any purpose. If you or someone you know is struggling with alcoholism, it is recommended to seek professional help from a healthcare provider or addiction specialist.
