Opus Health specializes in benzodiazepine addiction treatment, offering a comprehensive and personalized approach. Our program combines medical expertise and therapeutic support to ensure a safe and effective detox process. Beginning with a thorough assessment and medically supervised detox, we address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Through tailored therapeutic interventions such as group therapy, individuals can overcome benzo addiction and regain control of their lives.
Benzodiazepine detox is the essential first step in treating benzo abuse. It involves a medically supervised tapering process to safely eliminate the drug while minimizing benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms. Since benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed for conditions like anxiety and panic attacks, dependence often develops unintentionally. Detox combines medications, psychotherapy, and relaxation techniques to manage overwhelming withdrawal symptoms effectively. Self-detox is discouraged, as withdrawal can lead to severe symptoms, making medical supervision critical for safety.
Benzo withdrawal occurs when the body reacts to the absence of the drug after prolonged use. Withdrawal symptoms progress within 24 hours of the last dose and can include anxiety, restlessness, muscle pain, and insomnia. Factors such as dosage, duration of use, and co-occurring mental health disorders can influence the severity and duration of symptoms. With proper care at a specialized treatment center, these symptoms can be effectively managed, helping individuals achieve long-term recovery.
The symptoms of benzodiazepine withdrawal can vary widely, ranging from mild discomfort to severe symptoms such as seizures. Common symptoms include increased anxiety, muscle pain, nausea, and irritability. Effective management involves gradual tapering under medical supervision, supported by therapies to address the psychological impact of benzo abuse. Opus Health provides a comprehensive treatment program, including additional benzodiazepine addiction treatment options, to ensure individuals experience a safe and successful detox.

We understand the complex nature of benzodiazepine use disorder and the serious health risks that can arise from addiction to benzodiazepines.
