Ativan Addiction Treatment

You Took Ativan to Feel Calmer. Now You’re Afraid You Can’t Function Without It.

Ativan (lorazepam) is often prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, or stress. But over time, what started as help can turn into something that quietly takes control—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

You’re not alone if you’re feeling stuck, scared, or ashamed. At Totality, we understand the complexities of Ativan dependency. We treat you with respect, clinical expertise, and genuine care—so you don’t have to choose between surviving anxiety and reclaiming your freedom.

Common Signs of Ativan Dependency

You need higher doses to feel the same effect

You feel anxious, shaky, or agitated when you miss a dose

You’ve tried to quit or cut back and experienced withdrawal symptoms

You feel like you can’t get through your day without it

You’re hiding your use or taking it differently than prescribed

You mix Ativan with alcohol or other medications to intensify its effect

Understanding Ativan Withdrawal & Risks

Stopping Ativan suddenly can be dangerous due to the risk of seizures, panic attacks, and rebound anxiety. That’s why safe, clinically supported care is critical.

Common withdrawal symptoms include:

Heightened anxiety or panic
Insomnia or nightmares
Sweating, nausea, or dizziness
Muscle tension and tremors
Depression, mood swings, or suicidal thoughts
In rare cases: seizures or hallucinations

We support you every step of the way—collaborating with your healthcare team to manage a slow taper, emotional support, and long-term healing.
