When someone tries to stop using benzos on their own, the distress of withdrawal can quickly become overwhelming. In cases like this, a detoxification program may be the ideal place to start for a person to start benzo addiction treatment.
Detoxification, or detox, is a short-term program that helps people rid their bodies of benzos and other addictive substances safely and with as little discomfort as possible. While a person is in detox, they will be under the care of a team of professionals. These caregivers may be able to offer both medical and therapeutic support to help the individual manage their benzo withdrawal symptoms.
Once a person has successfully completed benzo detox, they can transition directly into the next phase of their treatment. Following detox with additional treatment can minimize a person’s risk for immediate relapse and increase their ability to remain in recovery.
