Basically, yes. It's not really recreational. Some people use it at lower dosages in, say, social situations where anxiety is having a detrimental effect for them. It gets used to stop panic attacks, reduce fear, etc.
I became addicted to benzos on top of my opiate habit, I just didn't want to feel anymore, and they really did the trick, unfortunately. If you treat benzos like a tool, and not like a recreational drug, you'll get better usage out of them. IMHO anyone who uses psychedelics or amphetamines, for example, should have some benzos in their toolkit for dealing with negative effects such as panic attacks or unwanted stimulation at the end of a trip.
Be weary of loss of inhibition on benzos. While your sober mind might hold you back from something you think is dangerous or stupid, that threshold can be effectively be removed by using benzos. Suddenly confronting someone about something, or thinking it might be a good idea to order 12 hedges on Amazon seem like a good idea.
