Benzodiazepines, or Benzos are a type of drug called nervous system depressants. They are commonly used to treat anxiety or sleep disorders. Generally, benzos are prescribed as a short-acting solution to produce a calming effect on the nervous system in the cases of panic attacks or anxiety disorders. However, when taken in higher doses or when abused, a chemical dependence can be formed and the use of benzodiazepines can grow dangerous. The most common benzos include:
In the case of an addiction to benzos, a physical dependence has been developed, and so an individual is highly likely to experience withdrawal symptoms as soon as they stop taking them.
If you or a loved one are struggling with a Benzo Addiction, it is highly recommended to go through the detoxification process in an addiction treatment facility under clinical care, as the withdrawal symptoms within the first 24-hours to the first week can be high-risk. Benzo withdrawal symptoms can include the following:
In severe cases of benzo addiction, the withdrawal symptoms can include grand mal seizures, psychosis, hallucinations or delusions. Due to the life-threatening nature of these symptoms, looking to medical professionals for advice regarding benzodiazepine detox is highly recommended. At New Leaf Detox Facility, our clinical staff is qualified to administer tapering of medication, which can ease symptoms. Our Benzo Rehab is here to help you or your loved one detox in a safe and supportive environment.
Detoxification refers to the process that occurs physiologically when an individual with alcohol addiction or drug abuse is separated from his or her substance, as the body begins to react. An individual experiencing withdrawal symptoms may be at a higher risk, and so having a clinical team on staff to assist with medication management at a rehab center, with on-hand treatment services, can be a safer alternative than detoxing alone. A detox program is often the first step to lasting recovery.
Inpatient Residential Treatment is a form of addiction treatment that provides on-site accommodations and care at a home-like treatment facility. While both outpatient and inpatient facilities can be helpful resources for those struggling with benzodiazepine detoxification, inpatient addiction treatment facilities tend to offer more structure at a higher level of care, with clinical and technical teams trained for live-in attention.
Intensive Outpatient Addiction Treatment is a form of treatment designed to help those struggling with addiction or mental health disorders through a combination of group and individual therapy. Qualified professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducation resources. IOP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule.
Unlike inpatient residential treatment, the partial hospitalization program option only takes place during the day, allowing clients to return home at night and on the weekends, with less disruption to daily life. This level of care may be helpful for those continuing studies or work in the evenings or on the weekends. New Leaf Detox offers outpatient programs with both in-person and virtual treatment options to meet your individual needs.

Individual therapy takes place in a one on one setting with a licensed professional, usually consisting of a combination of dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapies, in which a person can talk through his or her individual struggles. Individual therapy is one of the most crucial steps for those facing substance abuse struggles.
Group therapy sessions can be used to help provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, that your peers are also walking through these challenges, while also providing guidance, suggestions and communications from psychologists with specialized backgrounds.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes. Therapists are trained to help you change your cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you.
A crisis is defined by the National Library of Medicine “as an overwhelming event, which can include divorce, violence, the passing of a loved one, or the discovery of a serious illness.” The goal of crisis intervention is to provide safety and reduce any potential harm to an individual or to others while walking through detoxification.

In combination with psychotherapy, medication management is handled safely, with compassionate care at the ready. It’s important for those who are administering prescription drugs to be aware of and monitor any possible side effects, ensuring that clients are receiving the right dose, and that any medication interactions can be flagged immediately for safety purposes.
