Benzodiazepine Detox
A Safe, Physician-Directed Taper — Not a Cliff.
The way off benzodiazepines is gradual, monitored, and medical. Anything else is dangerous.
Benzodiazepine detox at Guardian Recovery is built around a carefully managed taper: physicians step your dose down on a schedule your body can handle, nursing monitors you 24/7, and clinical care treats the anxiety and insomnia that drove the prescription in the first place.
Physician-Directed Taper
Your dose is reduced gradually on a medical schedule — controlled, predictable, and adjusted to your response.
Seizure Protection
Abrupt benzo withdrawal can trigger seizures. Medical supervision exists to make sure that never happens.
24/7 Monitoring
Round-the-clock nursing through the taper — symptoms get addressed in minutes, not at next week’s appointment.
Sleep & Anxiety Support
The original symptoms often resurface during the taper. We treat them with safer, sustainable approaches.
Treating the Root
Benzos were usually prescribed for something — panic, anxiety, insomnia. That something gets real treatment here.
Step-Down Continuum
After detox, residential and outpatient care reinforce the skills that replace the prescription.

Stories of Recovery
Reclaim Your Life | Rewrite Your Story.
From the people and families who walked this path before you.
“One phone call and they handled everything — my insurance, a flight, even what to tell my boss. Three days into detox I realized I hadn’t felt that safe in years.”
Kevin S. Alumni · Immersion
“We called about my brother at 2 a.m. and a real person answered, listened, and walked us through everything. He detoxed in Maine and did residential in New Hampshire — same team behind both.”
Danielle R. Family member of an alumni
“Eighteen months sober. What made the difference was continuity — from detox through virtual IOP back home, I never fell through the cracks.”
Marcus T. Alumni · Guardian Recovery

Common Questions
Answers Before You Call.
Why can’t I just stop taking Xanax on my own?
Because abrupt benzodiazepine withdrawal can cause seizures, dangerous rebound anxiety, and in some cases life-threatening complications. A medically supervised taper is the safe, standard way off — there’s no shortcut worth the risk.
How long does a benzo taper take?
Longer than other detoxes — typically weeks rather than days, depending on the medication, dose, and how long you’ve taken it. Your physician sets a pace your nervous system can tolerate, then continuing care supports you through the rest.
Will my anxiety come back during detox?
Some rebound anxiety is common and expected — and it’s treatable. Your team manages it through the taper with clinical support and non-addictive approaches, while therapy builds the long-term tools.
How much does benzodiazepine detox cost?
For most people with insurance, benzodiazepine detox can be covered in full or in large part. We verify your exact benefits for free before you commit to anything, and we offer self-pay rates and financing for those without coverage.
Will anyone find out I’m in treatment?
No. Your care is protected by federal privacy law (HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2). We never share information with employers, family, or anyone else without your written consent.
What happens after detox?
Detox is the beginning, not the destination. Before you discharge, your clinical team builds your next step with you — residential care, PHP, IOP, or outpatient — so the progress you make continues without interruption.
Can you help me travel to treatment?
Yes. Many clients travel to the Guardian campus that best fits their clinical needs — and many find that distance from old routines helps. Our team coordinates flights and airport pickup, and travel can often be arranged the same day you call.
