Benzodiazepines withdrawal and detox
Benzodiazepines withdrawal typically involves rebound anxiety, panic, insomnia, tremor, and in abrupt discontinuation, seizures; requires a physician-managed taper. Our detox unit provides 24-hour nursing, physician-managed comfort and taper medications, and a direct handoff into inpatient care.
Medication-assisted treatment
Treatment options for benzodiazepines include a physician-managed taper, often with a long-acting benzodiazepine, plus non-addictive anxiety medications. Medication decisions are made by our physicians with you, based on your history, and are combined with therapy rather than used alone.
Therapy and dual diagnosis care
Most people with benzodiazepines use disorder also have a co-occurring condition such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. We assess for these at intake and treat them at the same time. Core therapies include CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused therapy, and family work.
