Most detox centers are built for addiction, not prescription dependence. I've seen too many people get pushed through a rapid taper, leave on more medications than they started with, and end up destabilized for months or even years. In this video, I break down why benzo detox is so often the wrong answer, what an aggressive taper can actually do to your nervous system, and the slower, patient-led approach I recommend instead. If you're trying to come off a benzodiazepine, you need a plan that takes this seriously. My free tapering guide is linked below.
