Supporting someone through benzodiazepine addiction is hard. These tips can make the conversation easier.
Learn about benzodiazepine dependence as a medical condition, not a moral failing. Many people develop dependence from legitimate prescriptions — understanding this reduces blame.
There’s a difference between helping and enabling. Stop covering for them, making excuses, or helping them obtain prescriptions from multiple doctors.
Clear boundaries protect both of you. Be firm but compassionate — “I love you, and I can’t watch you destroy yourself.”
Trailhead offers monthly Zoom family education groups. Open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. Curriculum covers codependency, family systems, and more.
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Seek your own therapy, attend support groups, and prioritize your mental health too.
Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be life-threatening. Never encourage someone to quit cold turkey. Medical supervision is essential — a proper taper saves lives.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+. Call (857) 312-1697
It’s painful when someone you love won’t accept help. Here are steps that can make a difference.
The idea that someone must “hit rock bottom” is a myth. With benzodiazepines, waiting can be fatal — withdrawal seizures are a medical emergency. Start the conversation now.
Express concern without judgment. “I’ve noticed...” instead of “You always...”. Motivational interviewing techniques can help guide the conversation.
Boundaries aren’t ultimatums — they’re statements of what you will and won’t accept. Enforce them consistently with love.
A trained interventionist can facilitate a structured conversation. This is not about ambushing — it’s about organized, loving support.
If there’s immediate danger — seizures, severe confusion, threats of self-harm — call 911. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be life-threatening. For guidance on next steps, call us anytime.
Our admissions team can guide you through next steps — even if your loved one isn’t ready yet.
☎ Call (857) 312-1697You don’t have to navigate this alone. Our family program provides education, support, and community.

Yes — benzodiazepine withdrawal can be life-threatening. Seizures, severe anxiety, and delirium are possible. Never quit cold turkey. A medically supervised taper is essential for safe recovery.
PHP typically lasts 20–30 days, followed by IOP for 60–90 days. Benzodiazepine tapers can take weeks to months depending on usage history. Many clients continue with outpatient therapy for ongoing support.
A taper involves gradually reducing your benzodiazepine dose under medical supervision. Our NP creates an individualized schedule that minimizes withdrawal symptoms and seizure risk while your body safely adjusts.
