Benzodiazepine Detox in NYC
Specialized medical detox for benzo dependence — Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium. Slow, supervised tapers.
Why Benzo Detox Is Different
Benzodiazepine withdrawal is one of the most dangerous withdrawal syndromes. Stopping abruptly after physical dependence can cause seizures, psychosis, and severe autonomic instability. The only safe approach is a slow, medically supervised taper — often lasting weeks.
Our Approach to Benzo Detox
We typically convert short-acting benzos (like Xanax) to longer-acting agents (like Valium or Librium) and taper gradually to minimize withdrawal severity. Length of taper depends on your dose, duration of use, and individual physiology.
