Benzo Detox

Medical detoxification, or detox, can be crucial for clients discontinuing benzodiazepines. Withdrawal symptoms from benzodiazepine use can be severe. The medical professionals at Veritas Detox are equipped to keep you safe during the detox process and help you get through the discomfort that can arise during this stage of recovery. 

Common benzodiazepine or “benzo” withdrawal symptoms include but aren’t limited to the following:

• Severe, increased anxiety or panic attacks
• Nausea and other gastrointestinal issues
• Muscle pain or body aches
• Heart palpitations
• Sweating 
• Seizures
• Tremors 
• Headaches

Medications can be prescribed to alleviate symptoms of benzo withdrawal that might be dangerous at worst or severely uncomfortable at best otherwise. The medical providers serving clients in our detox program look for early signs of serious symptoms. If detected, we’ll treat you so that you can avoid any dangerous withdrawal symptoms that you might not be able to address on your own at home. 

Some clients misuse alcohol or another drug alongside benzos. Whether you need help detoxing from benzos alone or in combination with other substances, we can help.

While detox helps you through withdrawals from benzos and other drugs, our inpatient rehab program helps you address the underlying causes of benzo addiction and build new, healthy patterns so that you can stay sober once detox is over. During inpatient rehab at Veritas Detox, you’ll follow a structured schedule of group therapy, recreation, individual therapy sessions, and other treatment activities relevant to your needs and treatment plan.

Inpatient clients at Veritas Detox benefit from all of our amenities, including but not limited to the following: 

• Comfortable rooms and bedding
• Fire pit, outdoor patio, and deck area
• Fitness equipment
• A saltwater pool and hot tub
• Gourmet meals 

Often, people facing benzo addiction or another substance use disorder experience underlying mental health concerns like anxiety that need to be addressed. Our luxury residential inpatient rehab in Los Angeles uses evidence-based treatments for addiction and dual-diagnosis disorders like anxiety so that clients with co-occurring mental health concerns can get the support they need during treatment.

Especially for clients in inpatient rehab programs, aftercare planning is vital. Without an aftercare plan in place, going from the structure and consistent therapy provided by an inpatient program to having little to no support at home can be jarring. 

Much like treatment itself, all clients will have different aftercare needs. We can connect you with outpatient treatment centers in your desired area, continued therapy, medication management, and other services, like free support groups near you or sober housing. 

Let’s say that you have a loved one who needs help with addiction, but they aren’t open to seeking help or are in denial of their problems with alcohol or drugs. We offer drug interventions in Los Angeles that help families and other loved ones stage interventions. Our professional drug and alcohol interventionists are versed in providing effective interventions and can guide you through the process.
