Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment
It Started With a Prescription. It Doesn’t Have to End in Dependency.
Benzodiazepines—like Ativan, Valium, Xanax, and Klonopin—are commonly prescribed for anxiety, panic attacks, and sleep. But over time, they can quietly take over.
You may have followed your doctor’s orders. Or turned to benzos to quiet panic, numb pain, or just get through the day. But now, you’re worried that stopping feels impossible—and continuing doesn’t feel safe.
At Totality, we treat benzo addiction with deep clinical care and zero judgment. We don’t just help you taper or stabilize. We help you heal the underlying causes of your anxiety, insomnia, or trauma—so you don’t need to rely on pills to function.
Do You Need Help With Benzodiazepine Use
Take more than prescribed or run out early
Rely on benzos just to feel “normal” or to sleep
Feel withdrawal symptoms (shaking, anxiety, panic, nausea) when missing a dose
Mix benzos with alcohol or other drugs to feel calm or numb
Experience memory loss, emotional flatness, or increased tolerance
Can’t stop—even if you want to
Why Benzodiazepines Are So Hard to Quit
Benzo dependence often develops slowly—and unpredictably. Even those taking prescribed doses long-term can develop physical dependence. And stopping suddenly can be dangerous without clinical supervision.
Symptoms of benzo withdrawal may include:
- Rebound anxiety and panic
- Insomnia or nightmares
- Mood swings, irritability, or depression
- Shaking, tremors, or seizures (in rare cases)
- Nausea, body aches, or sensory hypersensitivity
