Benzodiazepine Addiction and Detoxification
ASHTON METHOD:
Dr. Siegel is very skilled in the outpatient drug detox from benzodiazepines such as Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, and Valium. Detoxification from benzodiazepines can be particularly difficult for patients. The anxiety and other symptoms associated with benzo withdrawal can be tremendous.
A successful benzodiazepine detoxification requires a slow taper, a close therapeutic relationship between the physician and the patient, as well as regular videoconfrences and phone follow-ups. Dr. Siegel is always available to his patients on his cell phone.
Dr. Siegel’s overall success rate with benzodiazepine detoxification is due, in part, to his ability to treat anxiety disorders, as well as his ability to skillfully manage the acute, post-acute, and protracted symptoms of withdrawal. Dr. Siegel uses the Ashton Method for benzodiazepine detoxification. His philosophy is to always tailor the treatment to each individual patient.
