Our goal is to help you regain control of your life, manage co-occurring conditions, and experience holistic healing in a safe, private, and inclusive setting.
Benzodiazepines are prescription medications that act on the central nervous system to reduce anxiety, induce sleep, and promote relaxation. While effective when used short-term and as prescribed, these drugs carry a high risk of dependence. Over time, your body adapts to their effects, and stopping suddenly can lead to dangerous withdrawal symptoms.
Commonly prescribed benzos include:
Long-term or unmonitored use can lead to tolerance, dependence, and addiction, even when taken as directed.
Dependence on benzodiazepines often starts with legitimate medical use. Over time, tolerance develops, requiring higher doses for the same calming effect. This progression can lead to both physical and psychological dependence. In some cases, misuse or combining benzos with other substances like alcohol or opioids increases the risk of overdose and severe health complications.
Signs of dependence and addiction include:
Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be life-threatening if not managed properly. Symptoms such as seizures, severe anxiety, or hallucinations can occur without medical supervision. At Desert Willow Wellness, Benzo addiction treatment detox is carefully monitored by medical professionals who provide around- the-clock care, MAT when appropriate, and emotional support to ensure your safety and comfort.
A gradual tapering schedule may be used to reduce withdrawal risks. This structured approach allows your body to adjust safely while minimizing discomfort.
Recovery from benzodiazepine addiction extends beyond detox. After stabilization, clients transition into personalized therapy and continued care to address the root causes of substance use and strengthen long-term coping strategies.
Our integrated programs may include:
We also collaborate with trusted detox partners throughout Southern California when higher medical acuity is needed, ensuring a seamless continuum of care.
Many individuals struggling with benzodiazepine addiction also experience co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, panic disorders, or depression. Our Benzo addiction treatment team provides integrated dual diagnosis treatment to address both conditions simultaneously. This approach improves outcomes and reduces the likelihood of relapse.
Healing thrives in connection. We encourage participation in peer groups and aftercare programs that build community and accountability. Clients benefit from ongoing support, relapse prevention planning, and alumni engagement to maintain progress after completing residential care.
Family members are also invited to participate in the recovery journey through our structured family therapy program, helping repair relationships and strengthen long-term recovery support.
