Benzodiazepine Tapering
What is benzodiazepine tapering?
Benzodiazepines (benzos) are a class of medication commonly prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. These medications, whether prescribed or otherwise, can occasionally result in substance use disorder (SUD/addiction). For those seeking to decrease and/or eliminate their benzodiazepine use, Recovery Care offers a medically supervised tapering program. Facilitated by our experienced physicians, benzodiazepine tapering is a deliberately calculated, planned, and supported decline in an individual’s benzodiazepine (benzo) intake.
