Warning Signs

Signs of Benzodiazepine Use Disorder

Benzodiazepine dependence ranges from mild to severe. Withdrawal can be life-threatening — recognizing the signs early is critical.

  • Taking benzodiazepines more frequently or at higher doses than prescribed
  • Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop using
  • Spending a lot of time obtaining, using, or recovering from benzodiazepines
  • Rebound anxiety or insomnia between doses
  • Failing to fulfill major responsibilities at work, school, or home
  • Doctor shopping or obtaining benzodiazepines from multiple sources
  • Giving up important activities because of benzodiazepine use
  • Cognitive impairment, memory problems, and confusion
  • Tolerance — needing significantly higher doses to achieve the same calming effect
  • Withdrawal symptoms: severe rebound anxiety, tremors, seizures, psychosis
  • Seizure risk — benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause life-threatening grand mal seizures
  • Inability to stop despite a strong desire to quit — never stop abruptly without medical supervision
If you or a loved one is experiencing any of these signs, call us at (857) 312-1697.

For Families

How to Help a Loved One with Benzodiazepine Addiction

Supporting someone through recovery is its own journey. Here’s where to start.

1

Educate Yourself About Addiction

Addiction is a chronic brain disease, not a moral failing. Understanding the science behind benzodiazepine dependence helps you respond with empathy rather than frustration.

2

Avoid Enabling Behaviors

Well-meaning actions like covering for a loved one’s benzodiazepine misuse or providing financial support can unintentionally prolong the cycle. Learn to support without enabling.

3

Set Boundaries with Compassion

Healthy boundaries protect both you and your loved one. Communicate clearly what behaviors you will and won’t accept, and follow through consistently.

4

Explore Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly family education groups via Zoom plus individual family sessions. Healing the family system is essential to lasting recovery.

5

Take Care of Your Own Health

Your mental health matters too. Consider individual therapy, Nar-Anon meetings, or support groups for families navigating a loved one’s addiction.

6

Learn About Codependency

Family systems often develop unhealthy patterns around addiction. Understanding codependency helps you break those patterns and build healthier relationships.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. Call (857) 312-1697
When They Say No

What If They Refuse Treatment?

It’s common for someone struggling with benzodiazepine addiction to resist help. Here’s how to navigate that.

Path 1
Consider a Professional Intervention
A trained interventionist can facilitate a structured conversation with your loved one. This process helps them understand the impact of their benzodiazepine use in a supportive, non-confrontational environment.
Path 2
Use Motivational Approaches
Rather than ultimatums, use open-ended questions and reflective listening. Express concern without judgment: “I’ve noticed you seem less happy lately — what do you think about that?”
Path 3
Set Clear Boundaries
Boundaries are not punishments — they’re protections. Communicate what you’re willing to accept and follow through. Sometimes, experiencing natural consequences is what motivates change.
Path 4
Understand the Stages of Change
People move through pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Your loved one may not be ready today, but every honest conversation plants a seed for tomorrow.
Path 5
Know When to Call for Help
If your loved one is in immediate danger — severe withdrawal symptoms, seizures, suicidal thoughts, or respiratory distress — call 911. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be life-threatening. For non-emergency guidance, our admissions team is available to help even if your loved one isn’t ready.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common signs include taking benzos more than prescribed, unsuccessful attempts to cut down, tolerance (needing higher doses), rebound anxiety or insomnia between doses, doctor shopping, and continuing use despite negative consequences at work, school, or in relationships.

Yes — benzodiazepine withdrawal can be life-threatening. Abruptly stopping benzos can cause grand mal seizures, psychosis, and severe rebound anxiety. Our on-site Nurse Practitioner manages medically supervised taper protocols to ensure safe, gradual dose reduction.

We use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), anxiety management skills training, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention planning — all tailored to address the underlying anxiety that often drives benzodiazepine misuse.

We don’t provide inpatient medical detox on-site, but we coordinate with trusted detox facilities for initial stabilization and can typically admit you to our program within 24–48 hours post-detox for seamless continuity of care with ongoing taper management.

PHP typically runs 20–30 days, IOP runs 60–90 days, and ongoing outpatient support continues as needed. Benzodiazepine taper timelines vary based on dose, duration of use, and individual response — some tapers take weeks, others months.

Yes. Our Evening Professional Track meets 6–9 PM Monday through Thursday, specifically designed for working adults. IOP also offers morning and afternoon session options.

Most major insurance plans cover benzodiazepine addiction treatment. We accept Anthem BCBS, Point 32 (Harvard Pilgrim/Tufts), Tricare, Uprise Health, and WellSense (NH Medicaid). Contact us to verify your specific benefits.

You’ll step down to IOP or outpatient care, enroll in our alumni program for ongoing peer support, receive external therapist and psychiatrist referrals, and have continued access to family support groups. Ongoing anxiety management is a key focus of aftercare.

Absolutely. We offer individual family therapy sessions plus monthly family education groups via Zoom. These cover codependency, family systems, and substance use education. Open to any family member 18+.

Our family-style environment, medically supervised taper protocols, flexible scheduling (morning/afternoon/evening), staff with lived recovery experience, 12:1 counselor caseloads, same-day admissions, and specialized anxiety management programming set us apart from larger, less personal facilities.
