Benzo Detox Services

Benzos Were Supposed to Help—Until They Took Over

Benzodiazepines like Xanax, Ativan, Valium, and Klonopin are often prescribed for anxiety, sleep, or panic attacks. But over time, these medications can lead to powerful dependence—even when taken exactly as prescribed.

Trying to quit on your own can be not only painful, but dangerous.

At Totality Treatment Center, we coordinate medically-supervised benzo detox designed to minimize risk, reduce discomfort, and help you safely taper or transition off benzodiazepines. Then, we walk with you into the next phase of healing—where the real work begins.

What Benzo Detox Looks Like With Totality

Because benzo withdrawal must be done slowly and precisely, we ensure every client receives a medically appropriate taper plan through one of our clinical partners. Detox may include:

Gradual dosage reduction under 24/7 medical supervision

Symptom management with adjunct medications if needed

Sleep and nutrition support

Psychiatric stabilization and emotional monitoring

Immediate step-down into outpatient care after detox

Optional MAT introduction if appropriate for co-occurring conditions

Access to family support and case management throughout

Benzo Withdrawal Is Unique—And Requires Expert Care

Unlike opioids or stimulants, benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause life-threatening complications if not medically managed. This is especially true if you’ve been on benzos for more than a few weeks or have combined them with other substances like alcohol or opioids.

You may need detox if you are experiencing:

Severe anxiety or panic after missing a dose
Insomnia, irritability, or emotional numbness
Muscle twitching, tremors, or cognitive fog
Heart palpitations or chest tightness
Hallucinations, seizures, or suicidal ideation
Multiple failed attempts to stop or taper

Never stop benzodiazepines cold turkey without medical supervision. We will help you taper safely under 24/7 care through our trusted detox partners.

Real Change Starts With Safe, Supported Detox

“I was prescribed benzos for over five years. I thought I needed them to survive. Totality didn’t judge—they helped me detox gently, safely, and without shame. I finally feel clear again.”

“My partner’s anxiety was crippling, and so was the dependence on medication. Totality helped her detox safely and gave us a real plan for what came next. She’s thriving now.”
