Our locations
Initial addiction assessment
When you begin treatment with us, our clinical and medical team conducts a thorough assessment to understand your specific benzodiazepine addiction symptoms and needs. This allows us to recommend the level of care that will provide the best outcomes and set the foundation for your recovery.
Our residential rehab for benzodiazepine addiction
We offer our detox and rehab programs in a home-like treatment facility to provide the time and space you need to build a solid foundation in sobriety.
First steps
Our residential rehab for benzo addiction provides a structured, supportive environment where you can focus entirely on recovery. Features include:
- Around-the-clock medically supervised care and medication management.
- Group and individual therapy to process the root of your addiction.
- Case management to develop personalized relapse prevention plans and life skills.
- Holistic therapies, such as mindfulness and yoga.
- Comfortable accommodations, meals, and community outings.
Medically supervised benzo detox
Detox is the first step to recovery, ensuring safe withdrawal management under 24/7 medical supervision.
Abruptly stopping benzos can lead to benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome and severe symptoms like seizures, making professional care essential. Benzodiazepine discontinuation is tricky; however, we use gradual tapering methods to minimize risks and discomfort.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) & Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
When you don’t require residential care, or are transitioning from it, or are looking for a more elevated level of care than a weekly therapy session, our PHP and IOP programs offer structured support while allowing you to maintain certain aspects of your daily routine.
Both programs include one-on-one and group therapy sessions with medication management where needed, case management sessions on an individual and group level, and our holistic therapy. Our outpatient treatment programs allow a more flexible schedule to live at home while attending the program during the day or evening and provides a community of mentors, relapse prevention education, personalized assessments, and holistic healing methods, and our PHP and IOP treatments ensure sustainable mind-body wellness.
PHP Includes:
90 days of treatment | 5 days per week | 6 hours per day
Monday through Friday
IOP Includes:
6-8 weeks of treatment | 3 days a week | 3 hours per day
This option works with your schedule, Monday through Friday
What to expect with our PHP and IOP programs
Depending on the level of care that best suits your needs, you may begin with our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and transition to the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), or begin directly at the IOP level.
Wherever your journey begins, after completing your treatment, you’ll become part of our supportive alumni community, offering encouragement and inspiration to others on their path to wellness. Our programs are carefully designed to include individual and group therapy, comprehensive case management, holistic treatments, and medication management. This integrated approach ensures a treatment plan that promotes healing at every stage. These programs include:
Individual therapy
Weekly sessions with a therapist to help you explore the underlying causes of your condition, identify your triggers, and develop coping strategies to last a lifetime.

What is benzodiazepine addiction?
Benzodiazepine addictions, such as Klonopin addiction, Ativan addiction, Valium addiction, and Xanax addiction, occur when the use of these medications becomes compulsive and unmanageable, despite their negative effects.
While these drugs are effective for the short-term treatment of anxiety, insomnia, seizures, or panic disorders, prolonged use can lead to severe benzodiazepine dependence.

Signs and symptoms of benzodiazepine addiction
Signs of addiction vary but may include:
- Loss of Control: Difficulty stopping or reducing use despite repeated attempts.
- Tolerance: Increasing doses to achieve desired effects.
- Cognitive Issues: Memory loss, difficulty concentrating and learning impairment.
- Behavioral Changes: Secrecy, doctor shopping, or lying about use.
- Physical Symptoms: Slurred speech, drowsiness, or poor coordination.
- Neglect of Responsibilities: Ignoring work, family, or personal obligations.
- Mood Changes: Depression, irritability, or agitation.
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Anxiety, tremors, insomnia, headaches, and can even lead to seizures or death with sudden cessation.
What are Benzodiazepines?
Benzodiazepines are a type of central nervous system depressant commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, and conditions that cause seizures. These medications work by enhancing the brain’s natural calming neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
Types of Benzodiazepines
- Xanax (Alprazolam): Often prescribed for anxiety and panic disorders, Xanax addiction can develop quickly due to its fast-acting effects.
- Valium (Diazepam): Commonly used for anxiety, muscle spasms, and alcohol withdrawal, Valium has a longer half-life, but dependency can still form over time.
- Ativan (Lorazepam): Prescribed for severe anxiety or insomnia, Ativan addiction can lead to intense withdrawal symptoms, making it difficult to quit without medical support.
- Klonopin (Clonazepam): Used for panic disorders and seizures, Klonopin addiction often involves tolerance and severe cravings.
- Restoril (Temazepam): A sleep aid that can cause dependency when used long-term for insomnia.
How Benzodiazepines Take Control
You may be prescribed benzodiazepines to address anxiety or sleep issues. However, tolerance builds over time, leading to increased doses and dependency. Alternatively, you may be exposed to illicit benzodiazepines, which pose a specific set of dangers, including counterfeit prescription drugs that are commonly laced with fentanyl.
Either way, addiction may manifest in neglecting responsibilities, social withdrawal, and using the drug to avoid benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms rather than its intended purpose.
Without intervention, long-term substance abuse can lead to substance use disorder, cognitive decline, liver damage, and exacerbated mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression.
Benzodiazepine Abuse and Neglect
Benzodiazepine misuse often starts subtly; you might find yourself needing to take higher doses or using the medication for longer than prescribed. As addiction progresses, it can lead to neglect of personal care, work, and relationships. The cycle of abuse can cause:
Risky Behaviors: Combining benzodiazepines with other drugs raises the risk of overdose.
Physical Harm: Liver damage, gastrointestinal issues, or neurological problems.
Mental Strain: Increased anxiety, mood swings, or memory impairment.

What is the first step toward getting treatment for benzodiazepine addiction?

How long is the inpatient treatment for benzodiazepine addiction?

You’ll engage in daily group and holistic therapy alongside peers, while also working with a personal therapist and case manager to build essential life and coping skills.
Are benzos narcotics?
No, benzodiazepines are not classified as narcotics. They belong to a class of drugs known as sedatives or tranquilizers, which act on the central nervous system to produce calming effects. Common examples of benzodiazepines include Xanax (alprazolam), Valium (diazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), and Klonopin (clonazepam). These medications are primarily prescribed for conditions like anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and muscle spasms.
On the other hand, narcotics typically refer to opioids, a separate class of drugs used primarily for pain relief, such as morphine, oxycodone, or heroin. While both benzodiazepines and opioids have the potential for abuse and addiction, they work in different ways and are used to treat different conditions.
