RESULTS-DRIVEN REHAB FOR BENZODIAZIPINES (BZDs)
Benzodiazepines, often referred to as “benzos”, are psychoactive prescription drugs often used for treating anxiety, insomnia and seizures. They work by enhancing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) activity, a neurotransmitter in the brain – producing a calming and sedative effect helping to regulate anxiety and stress.

“Benzodiazepines use can lead to dependency and cognitive decline, where the road to harm is paved with unsuspecting tranquility.”

Detox Stage of Treatment
Benzodiazepine detoxification, also known as a benzo detox, is the process of tapering off benzodiazepine medication under professional medical supervision. Detox is designed to help safely manage withdrawal symptoms and minimize the risk of complications.
The benzo detox process typically involves the following steps:[/vc_column_text][dt_vc_list]
- Assessment: Before detox begins, a comprehensive assessment will determine the appropriate tapering schedule based on dosage, duration of use, and current health status.
- Tapering: The dosage of benzodiazepine medication is gradually reduced (from a few days to months), allowing the body to adjust while minimizing withdrawal symptoms.
- Monitoring: Throughout the detoxification process, patients are closely monitored by nursing staff for signs of withdrawal symptoms or complications. Blood pressure, heart rate, and vital signs are measured frequently.
- Management: Medications to manage symptoms may be administered to reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia and seizures. These medications can help to manage the discomfort felt during the withdrawal process.
