Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment
Quitting benzodiazepines without medical supervision is dangerous. Withdrawal can trigger seizures. That's why treatment here starts with a supervised medical detox that tapers you off safely. From there you move into therapy, relapse planning, and aftercare built to hold up long after you leave.
How Dillard Recovery Treats Benzodiazepine Addiction
Your first step is a clinical assessment. We look at how much you take, how long you've used, and what else is going on. That decides your level of care.
Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be dangerous. Stopping abruptly risks seizures. Symptoms often include anxiety, insomnia, and rebound panic. When that's the case, you start with medical detox, where staff taper you safely and watch for complications.
After detox, you move into programming. Some people need the structure of residential treatment. Others do better staying home and attending an intensive outpatient program.
Many people started benzodiazepines for anxiety or panic. We treat those conditions alongside the addiction, in the same plan, with the same team. Splitting them apart rarely works.
Therapies We Use
Your care plan starts with a clinical assessment. From there, your team builds a mix of therapies matched to what you actually need. That usually includes cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, and family support. When it fits your case, medication-assisted treatment is added to ease withdrawal and cut cravings. Your plan changes as you do.
