Addiction Treatment
With the right treatment and support, recovery is within reach. Let us guide you toward lasting freedom—one step at a time.
What is Benzodiazepine Addiction?
Benzodiazepine addiction develops when the body becomes physically and psychologically dependent on medications commonly prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, or panic disorders—such as Xanax (alprazolam), Valium (diazepam), Klonopin (clonazepam), and Ativan (lorazepam). Over time, tolerance builds, requiring higher doses to achieve the same calming effects. When use is reduced or stopped, individuals may experience intense withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, tremors, muscle pain, insomnia, and seizures.
At Bliss Recovery, located in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, clients receive compassionate and confidential treatment in a luxury setting designed to promote healing, comfort, and long-term wellness.

What Does Research Say About Benzodiazepine Addiction?
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), approximately 30 million Americans are prescribed benzodiazepines annually, with about 5 million misusing them at least once in the past year. Research by Dr. Anna Lembke of Stanford University and Dr. Nora Volkow at NIDA highlights how long-term benzodiazepine use alters GABA receptors in the brain, creating physical dependence and rebound anxiety when discontinued. Studies published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry and Harvard Medical School journals indicate that prolonged benzodiazepine misuse can increase the risk of memory impairment, depression, and overdose—especially when combined with alcohol or opioids.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports a steady rise in benzodiazepine-related overdose deaths in the United States, often due to co-use with fentanyl. These findings reinforce the need for medically supervised detox and comprehensive aftercare—key elements of Bliss Recovery’s clinical approach.

What Treatment Does Bliss Recovery Offer for Benzodiazepine Addiction?
Bliss Recovery provides specialized benzodiazepine addiction treatment in Los Angeles, offering a medically supervised detox and personalized rehabilitation plan. Detoxification is conducted gradually to ensure safety and minimize the risk of seizures or rebound anxiety. Clinicians may utilize a Valium taper or phenobarbital protocol to manage withdrawal, along with clonidine to regulate blood pressure and anxiety, methocarbamol for muscle stiffness, hydroxyzine for restlessness, and trazodone to support healthy sleep.
Following stabilization, clients participate in individual and group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care to address emotional and psychological factors driving dependence. Complementary therapies—such as yoga, mindfulness, nutritional counseling, and art therapy—help restore balance and resilience. The serene, resort-style environment at Bliss Recovery provides the privacy and holistic support essential for long-term healing and renewal.
