Restoril, or Temazepam as it is otherwise known, is an oral medication used to treat insomnia. Prescribed by medical professionals, such as General Practitioners, Restoril is only usually prescribed for up to four weeks.
As confirmed by the NHS, administering Restoril for longer than four weeks is not recommended. This is because Restoril can lead to addictions.
Restoril addictions require Restoril addiction treatment & rehab. Without treatment & rehab, addictions can be fatal.
Restoril drug addiction come hand-in-hand with several physical, psychological and behavioural symptoms. Yet, many of these symptoms continue to go overlooked.
Regrettably, when the symptoms associated with Restoril addictions are overlooked, physical and psychological health becomes significantly impaired, often leaving many individuals struggling with long-term side effects. While treatment can be provided for the long-term side effects of Restoril addiction, they are often irreversible.
Below, we have outlined just a number of the symptoms that arise when a Restoril addiction is present.
While these symptoms leave many feeling extremely worried, it should be remembered that Restoril addiction treatment is available. When secured early, Restoril addiction treatment alleviates the short term symptoms experienced and can reduce the risk of long term symptoms arising.
Various treatment methods are employed when Restoril addiction treatment & drug rehab is required. The treatment secured depends on many factors, such as the severity of the addiction, the effect that addiction has on an individual’s physical and psychological health, and the symptoms encountered.
At Asana Lodge, our team of experienced medical and therapy professionals review the factors noted above before devising personalised treatment programmes for each of our clients.
Although it is difficult to ascertain the treatment you may require upon securing Restoril addiction treatment & rehab without discussing your addiction with you, detoxification, rehabilitation, and aftercare support essentially make up the foundation of our treatment programmes.
Administered upon commencing treatment, Restoril detox encourages the body and brain to withdraw from Restoril. Medically induced, our detox programmes are administered by our medical team within our residential rehab.
Restoril detox sees many encounter withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, insomnia and anxiety. While unpleasant, these symptoms are often short-lived and can be alleviated with medical treatment.
When administered in our rehab, Restoril detox often lasts for seven days. However, the severity of addiction often dictates how long detoxification is required.
Following detoxification, rehabilitation is encountered. Restoril rehab focuses on the psychological effects of Restoril addictions. It enables those in recovery to understand their addiction, identify the cause of their addiction and develop coping strategies through the employment of therapies.
Cognitive behavioural therapy continues to be one of the most successful therapies when treating Restoril addictions. However, we have a wide range of therapies available. Other therapies available include stress management, Satori therapy, NAD+ therapy, well-being therapy, music therapy and sleep management.
Restoril rehab programmes often span 28 days. However, just as the time it takes an individual to complete detox is often dependent on how the body and brain respond to treatment, rehab is too.
Restoril aftercare support is offered upon completing Restoril addiction treatment & rehab.
At Asana Lodge, we take great pride in our ability to offer our clients continued support. We also understand that providing aftercare support helps many maintain their recovery.
Considering this, upon attending our rehab for Restoril addiction treatment, all of our clients receive 12-months of free aftercare support.
Our aftercare support includes weekly group therapy catch up sessions and one-to-one therapy. We also recommend recovery support groups for our clients to attend.

Upon consumption, Restoril stays in your system for approximately eight hours. However, when Restoril detoxification is administered, Restoril can be removed from the system within a short period. Even when Restoril leaves your system, the side effects can still impair your health and well-being for some time. This is why many individuals come to experience short term side effects associated with Restoril use. Likewise, when Restoril is abused over a longer period, long term side effects arise due to the impact Restoril has on the brain.
The short term side effects of Restoril addiction include slurred speech, dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, headaches and nausea. The long term side effects of Restoril addiction include reduced cognitive function, depression, impaired perception and psychosis. In some instances, those struggling with the long term side effects of Restoril addiction will experience suicidal thoughts and hallucinations.
Although Restoril addiction treatment & rehab is necessary if an addiction arises, many continue to question why treatment & rehab is necessary. Many also question why they cannot just withdraw from Restoril at home and attempt to recover independently. Simply put, Restoril addiction treatment & rehab must be secured when an addiction arises as addictions come hand-in-hand with severe health implications. Without treatment, these health implications cannot be effectively treated, nor can addictions be overcome.
