Benzodiazepines (benzos) like Xanax, Ativan, and Valium are often prescribed for anxiety or sleep disorders—but they can quickly become habit-forming. If you or someone you care about is struggling with benzo dependency, Boston Addiction offers a safe, medically monitored detox program right here in Peabody, MA.

Why Benzo Detox Is So Important

Quitting benzodiazepines suddenly or without medical oversight can be dangerous. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe—and in some cases, life-threatening. That’s why it’s critical to detox under the supervision of licensed professionals.

At Boston Addiction, our benzo detox program is designed to:

• Stabilize you physically and mentally

• Ease withdrawal symptoms with proper medical support

• Prepare you for ongoing addiction treatment

What to Expect During Benzo Detox

Our program begins with a full medical assessment to understand your usage, health history, and risk level. From there, we create a personalized detox plan that ensures your safety and comfort.

You can expect:

• 24/7 medical monitoring

• Gradual tapering of benzos when appropriate

• Symptom management using evidence-based methods

• Emotional and psychological support during the process

• A smooth handoff into residential or outpatient treatment

Common Benzo Withdrawal Symptoms

Symptoms can begin within 6–24 hours of your last dose and may include:

• Insomnia

• Anxiety or panic attacks

• Sweating or tremors

• Muscle pain or stiffness

• Nausea

• Difficulty concentrating

• Seizures or hallucinations (in severe cases)

The intensity of withdrawal depends on how long you’ve used benzos, your dosage, and whether you’ve used other substances.
