Addiction Treatment
Benzodiazepine Addiction Specialist
Addiction Medicine Specialists located in Bothell, WA
Benzodiazepines — commonly called benzos — include medications like Xanax, Ativan, Valium, and Klonopin. They are highly addictive, and withdrawing from them can be dangerous, with risk of seizures and serious heart problems.
Benzodiazepines should never be abruptly stopped without medical help. If you want to stop taking benzos, there are two main approaches: a slow wean or a rapid taper. A rapid taper requires the use of additional medications to keep you safe. A slow wean requires a lot of patience.
We can help you decide which way is right for you. Our team will guide you safely through the process while monitoring your health at every step.
