Benzodiazepines—often referred to as benzos, bars, or by brand names like Xanax, Valium, and Ativan—are prescribed to treat anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. But when misused or taken in higher doses, these sedatives can quickly turn from helpful to harmful. At Leucadia Detox, a Maven Recovery Centers facility in San Diego County, we understand that what starts as a legitimate prescription can spiral into dependence, marked by blurred judgment, doctor shopping, and increased risk-taking behaviors.

Our expert team in Encinitas is trained in safely managing benzodiazepine withdrawal, which can be life-threatening without medical oversight. Through our medically supervised detox and individualized care plans, clients are gently and gradually weaned off benzos in a controlled, compassionate setting. Beyond detox, our treatment includes trauma-informed therapy, relapse prevention, and education around co-occurring disorders—ensuring clients not only break free from addiction, but learn how to live without the crutch of sedatives. At Maven Recovery Centers, we walk with you every step of the way.
