Each patient receives an individualized treatment plan based on the benzodiazepine involved, patterns of use, medical history, current health, withdrawal symptoms, and other clinical needs.

The length of benzodiazepine detox varies depending on the medication involved, how long and how often it has been used, the dose, your overall health, and how your body responds as treatment progresses.

Your care team will monitor your progress throughout detox and determine when you are medically stable and ready to move to the next stage of treatment.
