Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment
Structured Support Following Medical Detox
Benzodiazepines are prescription medications often used for anxiety or sleep disorders. When misused or taken long-term, they can lead to physical dependence and dangerous withdrawal symptoms. At HAWC Recovery, we provide structured treatment after medical detox to support long-term recovery.
Our program focuses on therapy, accountability, and stable housing to help individuals rebuild safely.
Understanding Benzodiazepine Addiction
Benzodiazepines affect the brain’s central nervous system, slowing activity and producing calming effects. Dependence can develop even when taken as prescribed, and withdrawal can be severe without proper medical care.
HAWC supports individuals after detox by providing structure, therapy, and long-term recovery planning.
Signs & Symptoms of Benzodiazepine Addiction
Common signs of benzodiazepine dependency may include:
- Increased tolerance
- Anxiety or panic between doses
- Memory or concentration issues
- Drowsiness or confusion
- Withdrawal symptoms when stopping use
- Mood instability
- Difficulty functioning without medication
- Continued use despite negative effects
Professional support following detox is essential for safe, long-term recovery.
How We Treat Benzodiazepine Addiction
Clinical Therapy & Support
Clients participate in individual and group therapy led by master’s-level clinicians. Our team uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Contingency Management — one of the most effective approaches for stimulant use disorder.
Medical Monitoring
Each client begins with a medical physical, biopsychosocial evaluation, and receives weekly doctor visits during treatment. We monitor health, progress, and any emerging needs.
Support From People in Recovery
Our supportive staff play a crucial role. Many have experienced addiction and recovery firsthand — offering empathy, credibility, and hope.
Structured Daily Routine
Clients follow a balanced schedule focusing on therapy, vocational preparation, life skills, recreation, and personal growth.
Vocational Training & Employment
Before leaving Phase 1, every client secures a job with our support. This structure reduces relapse risk and prepares clients for long-term stability.
Long-Term Housing & Community Support
After inpatient treatment, clients transition to Phase 2 recovery housing and eventually Phase 3 graduate housing — a rare opportunity to build savings and independence.
