What we treat

Risks & withdrawal safety (read first)

Do not stop benzodiazepines abruptly. Withdrawal can be dangerous (seizures, severe agitation, delirium). Seek urgent medical help for severe symptoms. We are not an emergency service. Any taper/detox is physician-led; we do not prescribe or alter doses.

  • Overdose risk: combining benzos with alcohol or opioids increases respiratory depression.
  • Counterfeit pills (US/EU): non-pharmacy “Ativan” may contain other sedatives or fentanyl; we plan for this risk.
  • Rebound effects: short-acting benzos can amplify anxiety/insomnia between doses—managed via medical plan and skills.

Why one-to-one works for benzo recovery

Benzo recovery is precision work: medical steps, sleep repair, anxiety skills, device and prescription controls, family boundaries. Large groups add exposure and rarely fit your exact routines. A one-to-one model gives privacy, more clinical time, and stable pacing.

Assessment & mapping

  • Use profile: dose, timing, triggers (presentations, flights, bedtime), “as needed” vs scheduled, co-use (alcohol/opioids/stimulants).
  • Anxiety map: situations, thoughts, safety behaviours, avoidance, panic frequency; intolerance of uncertainty.
  • Sleep map: latency, night waking, early waking, naps, device use, caffeine timing. See Sleep Disorder Treatment.
  • Devices & prescriptions: repeat scripts, online sources, saved cards, pharmacy patterns, travel stockpiles.
  • Risk & co-occurrence: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma & PTSD, OCD traits, ADHD, Dissociation.

First 7–10 days: stabilise (no abrupt changes)

  • Medical coordination: physician sets taper/detox plan if indicated; we monitor routines and support adherence. We do not prescribe or change doses.
  • Sleep reset: fixed wake, morning light, device curfew, caffeine cut-off, wind-down routine.
  • Anxiety hygiene: brief breathwork, grounding, graded exposure to feared cues.
  • Admin & devices: remove illicit sources, unsubscribe from pill offers, spending caps, accountability window.
  • Family alignment (with consent): shared plan for reassurance limits and night-time boundaries.

Therapies & skills (evidence-informed)

Daily individual sessions with a small, stable team. Methods are translated into simple rules you can run on busy days.

  • CBT: anxiety cycles, catastrophic thinking, safety behaviours, exposure with response prevention.
  • DBT skills: distress tolerance, emotion regulation, crisis plans for spikes.
  • MET: resolve ambivalence; align values with medical steps and sleep rules.
  • TRE & breathwork: downshift arousal to reduce benzo reliance.
  • Family Therapy (with consent): reduce reassurance loops and “as needed” prompts.
  • 12-Step integration (optional): if aligned with your preferences.

Anxiety & sleep without benzodiazepines

  • Micro-practices (2–5 min): extended exhale breathing, 5-sense scan, brief TRE set, cool/warm contrast.
  • CBT-I-style routines: fixed wake time, consistent wind-down, light management, stimulus control for the bed.
  • Graded exposure: presentations, flights, medical/dental visits, and “first nights without benzos.”
  • Daytime scaffolding: hydration, regular meals, movement, limits on late news/social feeds.

Co-occurring conditions we plan for

Programmes (Marbella, Spain)

Aftercare that does not expire

Planning starts in week one. We step down into Lifetime Aftercare and Aftercare Support, coordinate with your prescribing physician, and schedule refreshers around high-risk periods (travel, presentations, anniversaries). See Life Skills & Relapse Prevention.


Frequently asked questions

Can I stop Ativan quickly

No. Abrupt cessation can be dangerous. Any taper/detox is physician-led. We coordinate care and support adherence; we do not prescribe or alter doses and we are not an emergency service.

Will I be able to sleep without benzos

Yes, with time and structure. We use CBT-I-style routines, anxiety skills, and a realistic wind-down. Your physician manages any medication plan.

How long should I plan for

Many clients begin with two weeks for stabilisation and medical arrangements, then extend to four–six weeks for consolidation. Final length is confirmed after assessment.

What if I also drink or use opioids

We plan for cross-risk and coordinate medical steps where indicated. Mixing sedatives increases overdose risk; safety comes first.

Is group work required

No. Our model is one-to-one as standard. Optional partner/family sessions are offered with your consent.
