Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment
Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, and Valium change how your brain handles fear and sleep, so quitting them abruptly can be dangerous. At Hollick Institute you get evidence-based benzodiazepine treatment that starts with a medically supervised taper and continues through therapy and long-term aftercare built for you.
How Hollick Institute Treats Benzodiazepine Addiction
Benzodiazepine withdrawal is different from most other substances because stopping abruptly can trigger seizures, so tapering under medical supervision matters. Your treatment starts with a clinical assessment that looks at how long you have taken benzodiazepines, at what dose, and what else is going on physically and mentally. That assessment sets your level of care. If withdrawal management is needed, you begin with medical detox, where a slow, monitored taper reduces the risk. From there you move into residential programming or step down to an intensive outpatient program depending on your needs. Many people first started taking benzodiazepines for anxiety, panic, or insomnia, so any co-occurring mental health condition is treated alongside the addiction, not handed off to a separate track.
Therapies We Use
No two people arrive with the same history, so your care plan gets built around what you actually need. That usually means cognitive behavioral therapy to work on the thoughts driving your use, group therapy with people who get it, and family support to repair what addiction strained. When it fits your case clinically, medication-assisted treatment is part of the plan too.
