Benzodiazepine Addiction
Calm Without Dependence. Healing Without Fear.
Benzodiazepines like Xanax, Ativan, and Valium are often prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, or panic — but prolonged use can lead to dependence and dangerous withdrawal. At Mainspring, we help clients safely taper, manage underlying symptoms, and build recovery without relying on benzos.
Signs You May Need Help
You may benefit from treatment if you:
- Struggle to stop or reduce use
- Feel anxious or shaky when not taking benzos
- Take higher doses over time to get the same effect
- Mix benzos with alcohol or other drugs
- Miss work, school, or relationships due to use
- Experience memory lapses or blackouts
Our Approach
Treatment focuses on safe stabilization and long-term wellness. Services may include:
- Medically supervised tapering/detox coordination
- MAT options (as appropriate)
- Individual & group therapy (CBT, DBT, trauma-informed)

- Family therapy and relapse prevention
