Our Services for Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment

For individuals suffering from benzodiazepine addiction, Southeast Addiction Center Atlanta offers a safe and supportive environment for recovery. Our clients receive personalized care from our multidisciplinary team of experienced and passionate clinicians. Our clients gain the tools they need to achieve and maintain sobriety with a comprehensive treatment program designed for each individual.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

If you or a loved one is struggling with benzodiazepine addiction, medication-assisted treatment can help with withdrawal symptoms. Southeast Addiction Center Atlanta understands the importance of managing medications safely during treatment.

These medications are usually part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes therapy and other supportive services. 

Here are a few examples of medications we might utilize:

• Buprenorphine can help manage unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings.
• Flumazenil can block the effects of benzodiazepines in the brain to allow for a safer detox process.
• Buspirone may be helpful to individuals with benzodiazepine misuse who are also struggling with anxiety. Buspirone works by affecting serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain.
• Gabapentin can reduce anxiety, insomnia, and other symptoms.

It’s important to note that medication-assisted treatment should always be provided under the guidance of a qualified healthcare team and as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for addiction.

Talk Therapy

Several evidence-based therapies can be effective in treating benzodiazepine addiction. These proven therapies are often part of a comprehensive treatment plan paired with other supportive services. 

Motivational Interviewing (MI) assists individuals struggling with benzodiazepine addiction in exploring their uncertainty about change and enhancing their motivation to cease benzodiazepine use.

Group therapy offers a nurturing atmosphere for individuals in recovery from benzodiazepine abuse to connect with peers and gain insights from shared experiences while also improving social skills and communication with others.

The specific combination of therapies used for our clients will depend on individual needs and circumstances. 

EMDR Therapy

Another effective therapy we use at Southeast Addiction Center for benzo addiction is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. EMDR Therapy is a type of psychotherapy that combines eye movements and other sensory stimulation to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. EMDR is proven to help individuals reduce cravings and improve their mental health.

EMDR Therapy can reduce anxiety, depression, and fear associated with overcoming benzo addiction to identify and work through underlying issues that may have contributed to the addiction. This therapy can be used alongside other types of treatment, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, individual counseling, and group therapy, to form a well-rounded treatment plan.

Holistic Therapy

Holistic therapy is an alternative treatment service that focuses on the whole person, not just specific addiction-related symptoms. Our therapists consider our clients’ physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being, allowing them to achieve balance and develop coping skills.

We use several holistic therapy services, including the following:

• Yoga is a therapeutic practice that alleviates the symptoms of addiction because of its positive impact on mental health. We combine physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to encourage our clients to be in the present.
• Our guided meditation facilitates peaceful visualizations and leads to a state of reduced stress and peace. Meditation helps manage disorders such as addiction. Our clients are better able to understand their emotions and respond to them in positive ways. Meditation also reduces stress and anxiety while improving the overall quality of life.
• Chiropractic care can take a toll on the body. Individuals can suffer from muscle tension, headaches, and chronic pain. Chiropractic care can help relieve these symptoms by realigning the spine and reducing tension. This can help improve overall physical comfort and reduce the risk of relapse to substances for pain relief. Chiropractic care is also helpful with mental health disorders.

Our Programs for Benzodiazepine Addiction Treatment

Addiction treatment programs are the best course of action for substance dependency. Evidence-based therapy and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) work to resolve the underlying issues that lead to addiction. 

Options such as an intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization program will improve the overall quality of life and well-being. 

Partial Hospitalization Program

Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) are a structured treatment option that provides intensive care services without requiring clients to spend the night. PHP is recommended for individuals who have completed a higher level of care, such as residential treatment, but still need ongoing support and monitoring to maintain active recovery. 

• PHPs benefit individuals struggling with benzo addiction and related anxiety disorders.
• PHPs help individuals with symptoms of addiction by providing a safe and structured environment with access to medical supervision, including therapy with family members and one-on-one and group therapy with peers with the same substance abuse issues and possible mental health disorders. 
• PHP allows individuals to practice new behaviors, overcome addiction, and build social connections in a supportive community. 

Intensive Outpatient Program

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide more structure than the PHP program but less than residential care. IOPs include group and individual therapy sessions and provide the tools and support for our clients to achieve and maintain sobriety. 

• IOPs allow clients to have a flexible treatment schedule where they can continue daily activities while still receiving care. Individuals can choose a plan that works with their obligations. 
• IOPs provide more support than traditional outpatient programs because therapy sessions are more frequent, and clients can participate in more support group activities.
• IOP also comes at a lower cost since the commitment isn’t full-time. However, the quality of treatment remains the same. Services can include cognitive behavioral therapy, courses on coping skills, dialectical behavior therapy, holistic therapies, medication management, and other forms of mental health treatment.
