Benzodiazepine detox and treatment
Please do not stop these on your own
Benzodiazepines and alcohol are the two substances where stopping abruptly can kill you. Withdrawal can cause seizures. If you are already cutting down and feeling unwell, call us or go to an emergency room today.

Somewhere to come off them slowly, with people watching.
Why this one needs supervision
Plenty of substances make you feel dreadful when you stop. Benzodiazepines and alcohol are the two where the body's reaction can become a medical emergency, and it is worth knowing that before deciding to tough it out.
This is not an argument for staying on them. It is an argument for coming off them somewhere with a physician, a taper and someone checking on you — which turns the genuinely risky version of this into a managed few days.
Not the drug itself at a prescribed dose. Stopping abruptly after long use can trigger seizures, and it does so without much warning. This is one of only two substances where that is true — alcohol is the other.
Benzodiazepines are reduced gradually under medical supervision rather than simply withdrawn. That is the whole reason to do it somewhere with a physician rather than by willpower at home.
The two together are the highest-risk combination we see, and they are frequently found together. If both are in the picture, say so at the start of the call — it directly changes what medical support is prepared for you.
The feeling the prescription was managing tends to come back sharply as the dose comes down. That is anticipated and treated rather than something you are left to white-knuckle, and it settles.

Straight answers
It is possible, yes — stopping abruptly after sustained use can cause seizures. Alongside alcohol it is one of only two substances where that is genuinely true. This is not said to frighten you into calling; it is said because a lot of people assume the worst case is feeling unwell for a week, and with these it is not.
We would strongly encourage you not to, and we are not going to publish a schedule for doing it. The dose, the drug and how long you have been taking it all change what is safe, which is precisely why it is done with a physician. Call and we will talk through what a supervised version looks like.
It changes nothing about how you will be treated, and it is the most common way people arrive at this. Taking a medication as directed and finding you cannot stop is not a moral failure — it is a known property of the drug.
No. These are reduced gradually under medical supervision rather than withdrawn suddenly, and your clinical team decides the pace based on your history and how you are doing.
Treated at the same time, which is the point of doing this somewhere clinical. Our medical team reviews your medication, and the therapy addresses what the prescription was managing — because taking the drug away without that rarely holds.
Then tell us that first, before anything else. It is the highest-risk combination we see and it directly changes the medical support prepared for your arrival. It is also common, and it is not something anyone will react to badly.
Longer than most — benzodiazepines come down gradually rather than clearing in a few days, and the tail can extend beyond the detox stay itself. Your team will be straight with you about what they are seeing rather than committing to a number on day one.
Then a call costs you nothing and settles it. Dose is only one of several things that matter here, and it is a reasonable question to ask someone clinical rather than to decide alone.
We answer at any hour of the day or night. There is nothing you have to decide on that first call, and nothing you need to have worked out before you make it.
