Benzo Detox & Treatment
in Florida

Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan — benzodiazepine dependency requires a medically supervised taper. Withdrawal can be dangerous. Find safe detox programs.

Why Benzo Withdrawal Is Medically Serious

Along with alcohol, benzodiazepines are the only class of substances where withdrawal can cause potentially fatal seizures. Never stop benzodiazepines abruptly if you've been using them regularly — even at prescribed doses. A medical taper — gradually reducing the dose — is the standard of care and often requires a medical detox setting for higher-dose dependency.

How long does benzo detox take?
The acute medical taper typically runs 1-4 weeks, but post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) can persist for months. Symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and cognitive fog gradually improve. Long-acting benzos like Valium are often used as a tapering agent for shorter-acting drugs like Xanax.
