Our Benzo Addiction Treatment Program in Los Angeles

Located in Woodland Hills, California, Stairway Resource Center is dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for individuals struggling with addiction or a dual diagnosis. Our addiction treatment center specializes in addiction (primarily 12-Step-based), and we are a true dual diagnosis program. We focus on severe/extreme mental health conditions alongside addiction. Our rehab program is designed to foster community and personal growth, ensuring that you receive the support you need to achieve your recovery goals.

We understand that each individual’s path to healing is truly unique. Some individuals fight through trial and error, while others respond effectively to treatment. Developing an individualized treatment plan with one of our specialists can help ensure a smoother path forward. 

We understand that a relapse can oftentimes feel like a major setback. Fortunately, chronic relapsers are also a specialty of ours. Our team offers solutions when other treatments have failed. We work with patients facing challenges with feelings of shame or guilt linked with relapse. 

Outpatient Care for Benzo Rehab

By fostering long-term structure and an environment where individuals with chronic relapses or a dual diagnosis can heal together, we create a network of encouragement and understanding that is invaluable during recovery from addiction or co-occurring mental health conditions. If you are managing treatment alongside daily responsibilities, our outpatient programs, including intensive outpatient and traditional outpatient, provide structured, evidence-based support.

Benzodiazepine Use Disorder & Dual Diagnosis Treatment

We focus on creating a sober community that emphasizes connection and peer support. Our holistic therapies address the mind, body, and spirit, ensuring that your recovery journey is well-rounded. We allow patients like you to give back and connect with the broader community.

Individual Therapy

Our leading evidence-based psychotherapy options include Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). CBT focuses more on changing thoughts and behavior associated with addiction or co-occurring mental health conditions. DBT can support emotional regulation and develop safe coping skills for a dual diagnosis. 

Family Therapy

Although individual therapy can support your healing process, our recovery team understands the importance of family involvement. Therefore, our clinical director oversees family therapy sessions, family-only groups, one-on-one sessions for families needing their own therapy, and Tuesday family groups.

Group Therapy & Alumni Support

Here at Stairway Resource Center, our compassionate recovery team understands that peer support is a vital part of recovery. For that reason, we offer group therapy options and alumni support to help you navigate recovery obstacles and maintain lasting stability.

Evidence-Based Therapies

Through our structured, evidence-based approach, we provide personalized dual diagnosis treatment with holistic care that addresses addiction and mental health disorders simultaneously. For example, we offer neurofeedback services ideal for substance use disorders (SUDs). This type of biofeedback teaches self-control of brain functions by measuring brain waves and providing a feedback signal. We also offer a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). It is used to treat various mental health conditions. 

If you are looking for a more holistic talk-therapy approach, our eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) involves eight phases: history taking, client preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation of treatment effect. It was initially used to treat PTSD, but is now used to treat other conditions. 

Aftercare Programs

The aftercare services here at Stairway Resource Center are custom-built to help you address your life after rehabilitation and achieve long-term healing from benzodiazepine addiction. Planning for aftercare is essential after treatment, as it creates a guide for sustained recovery by delivering structure, support, and resources to prevent relapse and develop a sober way of living. It reinforces the skills acquired during treatment, builds a network of support, encourages healthy behaviors, and ensures continuous accountability, tackling both substance abuse and simultaneous mental health conditions.

Our Continuum of Care for Benzo Addiction Treatment

We promote a collaborative working culture driven by respect, ethics, and integrity, and believe it is essential to empower employees to provide the highest level of patient care.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our partial hospitalization program at Stairway Resource Center can be a beneficial option. We know balancing different facets of life can be challenging, and our PHP helps you maintain your daily routine. You can complete daily responsibilities and receive addiction treatment later in the day for reduced stress.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Once you complete our residential treatment program, you can later attend our intensive outpatient treatment program to ensure you stay on track to long-term recovery. This level of support does not require overnight stays. This type of care and length of treatment can provide peer support and balance treatment with your daily life. 

Outpatient Program (OP)

If your benzodiazepine addiction is well-managed but you feel additional care can help you stay on track to healing, our outpatient program at Stairway Resource Center may be a good choice. The program provides the flexibility you may need to balance life’s priorities, such as work, school, and relationships, with treatment. However, our outpatient program is less intense than our inpatient care or intensive outpatient program. 

Sober Living Options

Our sober living options can allow you to build real, healthy connections with sober individuals like you on a similar path to recovery. We provide a safe, drug- and alcohol free environment where individuals can thrive as they work toward lasting sobriety. You will develop essential life skills, engage in group therapy, and participate in a structured routine that fosters personal growth and accountability. 

Signs It Is Time for Benzo Rehab

Benzodiazepines are primarily prescribed to treat various health conditions, including anxiety disorders, seizures, hallucinations, insomnia, and sometimes alcohol withdrawal symptoms. The prescription drug is one of the most prescribed classes of medications today. However, benzodiazepines are commonly abused. 

Commonly Misused Medications 

Frequently abused benzodiazepines include Xanax (alprazolam), Valium (diazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), and Klonopin (clonazepam). These prescription medications affect the central nervous system, impairing brain activity and resulting in sedation. Withdrawal symptoms commonly include memory problems, mood swings, and muscle spasms. 

Why Physical Dependence Develops

When benzodiazepines produce calming effects, addiction can develop. Many people may use benzos to feel relief from symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, etc. When they feel this relief, they may be influenced to continue using the drug. 

However, tolerance and dependence can quickly form when using benzodiazepines. The brain eventually becomes less sensitive to the substance, leading to a built-up tolerance. When this occurs, an individual may use more than prescribed to achieve their desired effect. As a result, they develop benzodiazepine dependence.

How Benzo Addiction Treatment Helps

At Stairway Resource Center, our compassionate board-certified team wants you to feel heard. We provide top-tier services and quality care for patients like you. A sober community is essential for relapse prevention. When you’re in recovery from addiction, it’s important to know that there is a community of people out there who understand what you’re going through. With consistent benzo addiction treatment, aftercare support, and community involvement, you are likely to achieve a positive recovery outcome. 

FAQs

Abruptly discontinuing benzodiazepines can be life-threatening. This can be especially problematic if you are facing challenges with underlying health conditions or co-occurring psychiatric disorders. Suddenly stopping can cause severe withdrawal symptoms, including seizures, heart palpitations, and a host of perceptual changes due to dangerous changes within the nervous system. 

For that reason, receiving medical detoxification is critical to ensure stabilization before transitioning into our benzodiazepine addiction treatment program.

Although we recently closed our medically supervised detox center at Stairway Resource Center, we are glad to refer you to a safe benzo detox center we trust.

Our addiction specialists can work closely with you to address your new symptoms and concerns to help you achieve emotional regulation and aid in relapse prevention. We strive to align the most effective aftercare benzo treatment options with your unique needs and recovery goals. For example, a specialist might recommend outpatient therapy, complementary holistic modalities, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), medication management, alumni support, etc. 

TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) is a non-invasive treatment effective for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health disorders. By stimulating specific brain regions, TMS promotes healing and alleviates symptoms, enhancing the overall recovery experience. It is an innovative tool in our comprehensive, evidence-based treatment approach.
