Hypnotics & Sedatives
Addiction Treatment.
Dependence on prescription sleep aids (Z-drugs) and anti-anxiety medications (Benzodiazepines) can happen quietly but dangerously. At Integrity Treatment Partners in Baldwin, NY, we provide a safe, medically guided pathway to break free from sedatives like Xanax, Valium, Ambien, and Lunesta—without the fear of severe withdrawal.
The Danger of Sudden Stoppage
Never stop specific sedatives "cold turkey." Withdrawal from Benzodiazepines and Barbiturates can cause life-threatening seizures. Our medical team creates a slow, calculated tapering schedule to ensure your safety while your brain chemistry stabilizes.
Substances We Treat
Benzodiazepines
Xanax (Alprazolam), Klonopin (Clonazepam), Valium (Diazepam), Ativan (Lorazepam).
"Z-Drugs" (Sleep Aids)
Ambien (Zolpidem), Lunesta (Eszopiclone), Sonata (Zaleplon).
Barbiturates
Phenobarbital, Fioricet (often prescribed for migraines).
Our Treatment Protocol
Evaluation: We assess your usage history, medical risk, and co-occurring anxiety or insomnia issues.
Medical Taper: We switch you to a longer-acting medication if necessary and slowly reduce the dose over weeks or months.
CBT for Insomnia/Anxiety: We teach you non-drug coping mechanisms for sleep and stress management (CBT-I).
