The New Canaan Parent Support Group, in partnership with the New Canaan Y, is hosting the second in a series of Pathway Sessions on addiction- and mental health-related topics. This month, we have John Hamilton, LMFT, Mountainside who will speak to benzodiazepines, or benzos. Benzos are a type of medications known as tranquilizers, that are easy to abuse. For instance, mixing a benzodiazepine drug like Xanax with alcohol can be fatal.
