Benzo Detox in Sun City West, Arizona

Safe, medically supervised withdrawal from prescription sedatives

Benzodiazepines—commonly prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, and panic disorders—can quickly lead to physical dependence when used regularly. Stopping suddenly can cause dangerous withdrawal symptoms, including seizures, severe anxiety, and hallucinations. At Virtue Recovery Sun City West, we provide a medically supervised benzodiazepine detox program designed to help you taper safely, manage withdrawal symptoms, and prepare for ongoing recovery.

Our experienced medical and clinical teams understand the complexities of benzodiazepine dependence. We use evidence-based tapering schedules, FDA-approved medications, and therapeutic support to make detox safer, more comfortable, and more effective.
