Focused Treatment
Medically Assisted Klonopin Detox
Are you or someone you love considering a Klonopin detox? At Guardian Recovery we understand how difficult Klonopin withdrawal can be. Many times withdrawal symptoms are so severe that those struggling with Klonopin addiction return to using within 24 hours. The key to overcoming this obstacle is a medically supervised detox where withdrawal symptoms can be identified and treated immediately. At Guardian Recovery we perform an in-depth initial evaluation and tailor a treatment plan unique to each client’s needs and recovery goals. Guardian Recovery provides 24 hour medical supervision and comfortable care. Our medical and client support team’s goal is to make sure all clients have a safe and comfortable Klonopin detox so they can begin the next phase in their recovery journey.
About Klonopin
Klonopin is the brand name of the generic drug clonazepam, which is most often used for the prevention and control of seizures and the prevention of panic attacks related to panic disorder (a severe anxiety disorder). Klonopin is a benzodiazepine, meaning it is a prescription sedative (or central nervous system depressant) that has an extremely high potential for misuse. It works by calming the central nervous system and the brain, reducing symptoms associated with certain seizure disorders and anxiety — and when taken exactly as prescribed by a medical professional, can be extremely beneficial and effective. However, because all benzodiazepines are habit-forming, it is not uncommon for men and women to develop a physical and psychological dependence somewhat rapidly. Even when taking the medication exactly as prescribed a physical dependence on Klonopin can develop over time — in as little as two weeks, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. If you or someone you love has been suffering from Klonopin abuse, seeking professional treatment is necessary.
At Guardian Recovery we effectively treat all symptoms associated with Klonopin withdrawal in a safe and structured facility. The detox program developed by our team of experienced substance abuse and mental health professionals focuses on much more than physical stabilization and a pain-free drug withdrawal — we ensure that each of our clients is adequately equipped with the life skills and coping mechanisms he or she needs to maintain long-term sobriety.

Treatment Options for Klonopin Withdrawal
At Guardian Recovery we utilize several treatment options for symptoms associated with Klonopin withdrawal depending on the unique needs of each individual client and the severity of the substance abuse disorder we are treating.
Common Klonopin detox methods include:
Is a Medical Klonopin Detox Necessary?
When it comes to Klonopin and other benzodiazepines, entering into a medically monitored detox program is absolutely essential. It is important that if you or someone you love has been struggling with benzodiazepine abuse or dependence, he or she is admitted into a professionally run facility before withdrawal symptoms peak (ideally, before they even begin). The reasons why medical detox is absolutely essential are:
- Physical symptoms can quickly worsen and cause life-threatening complications like grand mal seizures, which must be immediately treated. Medication assisted treatment can be life-saving.
- The psychological symptoms of benzodiazepine withdrawal can be severe, and psychiatric intervention is often required
- The tapering process must be closely overseen by a medical professional
- Clients have access to intensive behavioral therapy sessions — both individual therapy and group therapy
- Clients are able to relax and focus on nothing other than healing — no stressors related to day-to-day life
- The environment is secure and closely monitored, making relapse impossible
- Case managers work closely with clients and with the clinical team to develop a personalized plan for continuing care, which reduces the risk of relapse even more significantly

Begin Your Recovery Journey
At Guardian Recovery we believe that effective, individualized and comprehensive treatment services should be readily available to those in need, regardless of personal background and current financial standing. Many of our staff members have previously been exactly where you are now, and they understand how difficult it can be to commit to a long-term program of clinical care. We know that once you do commit to a substance free lifestyle, there is a good chance you won’t have the emotional energy to work through all the finer details that go hand-in-hand with the admissions process. This is where we step in. At Guardian Recovery we are available to walk you through every step of the process from start to finish. The moment you or your loved one picks up the phone and contacts us we conduct a brief pre-assessment, which helps our medical team determine which detox methods are going to be the most effective for each unique case. Next we iron out coverage options. Finally we set a date and time for intake and help arrange travel plans. To learn more about our comprehensive Klonopin detox program, contact us today.
