Our Treatment Approach
Medically Supervised Tapering
Gradual reduction of medication dosage under medical supervision to minimize withdrawal symptoms and ensure safety. Our physicians create personalized tapering schedules based on your specific needs.
Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy and counseling to address underlying issues and develop healthy coping strategies. We help you understand triggers and build skills for long-term recovery.
Alternative Pain Management
For patients with chronic pain, we work with pain specialists to develop non-addictive pain management strategies including physical therapy, non-opioid medications, and other interventions.
Important Safety Warning
Never stop taking prescription medications suddenly without medical supervision. Abrupt discontinuation can cause dangerous withdrawal symptoms including seizures, especially with benzodiazepines and certain other medications.
