What is Sedative Detox?
Sedative detox is the process of eliminating sedative drugs—such as benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Valium) or hypnotics (e.g., Ambien, Lunesta)—from the body under medical supervision. These drugs affect the central nervous system and can cause severe or even life-threatening withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly.
Sedative Withdrawal Symptoms May Include:
Insomnia and restlessness
Anxiety or panic attacks
Muscle tension and tremors
Sweating and nausea
Hallucinations or paranoia
Seizures (in severe cases)
Due to the risks involved, sedative detox should never be attempted alone.
Why Sedative Detox is a Critical First Step
Because sedative withdrawal can be physically dangerous—especially with long-term use—medical supervision is essential. Our detox process is designed to reduce withdrawal risks while offering comfort and emotional support.
