According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Board, use of Valium can result in reduced concentration, impaired speech patterns, and amnesia, even after the drug is no longer used.
A driver who uses Valium is more likely to wander in his lane and have slower reaction times. When alcohol is added, the resulting impaired effect is greater than the effect of each drug by itself. When a person is ready to break free from his Valium abuse, he is probably going to need help. Once tolerance and addiction have set it, most people will need medical support during withdrawal.
Without support, abrupt withdrawal can result in overexcitement, fearfulness, headaches, stiffness, panic attacks, rapid heart rate and even seizures and convulsions. A return to sobriety must be carefully accomplished. For five decades, the staff at Narconon drug rehab centers have been guiding people out of an addictive mentality and to an understanding that life is best lived sober. The path back to sobriety includes a thorough detox to remove the residues left behind after drug abuse and training in the life skills that are needed to make drug-free decisions.
A person may have been hiding from decisions for a decade or more and must learn these skills newly. But when they are learned and practiced, these skills are what helps each recovering person stay safe from dangerous mistakes in judgment.
Support groups and step meetings can provide a constructive environment of people with the same goal. Treatment for a Valium addiction can be found in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Rationale: Diazepam, a benzodiazepine with a relatively rapid onset of clinical effects, has been associated with suicide and other self-aggressive acts. The evidence for this association, however, comes exclusively from retrospective non-experimental studies.
Although suggestive, the results of these studies do not support a cause-and-effect relationship between benzodiazepine consumption and self-aggressive behavior. Objective: To experimentally examine the effect of diazepam on human self-aggressive behavior under controlled laboratory conditions.
Method: Forty-six healthy men and women were randomly assigned to receive placebo, or 5 mg or 10 mg diazepam in a double-blind, between-groups design.
