Benzodiazepines—commonly known as benzos—are prescription sedatives used to treat anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and muscle spasms. Brand names like Xanax®, Valium®, Klonopin®, Ativan®, and Restoril® are widely prescribed, but their calming effects make them highly addictive. Misuse can lead to tolerance, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect, and abrupt cessation can trigger severe withdrawal symptoms, including seizures and life-threatening complications.

At Pacific View Detox, part of Maven Recovery Centers in Dana Point, our medical detox program ensures a safe, supervised withdrawal process. We help individuals stabilize through a structured tapering plan while addressing the psychological aspects of addiction. Our team provides compassionate support, therapy, and holistic recovery methods to help you break free from benzo dependence and regain control over your life.
