Just like other benzodiazepines, Lorazepam also known as Ativan, is used to treat anxiety disorders. Even though it’s used to treat a mental health disorder, individuals can become addicted and dependent to this substance. Here at New Beginnings Recovery Center, we offer a safe and natural Lorazepam detox.
Our Ativan Detox Approach
In some cases, Ativan detox occurs in a hospital setting. In our case, we offer detox treatment in an outpatient setting where individuals can continue going about their daily life. Our addiction specialists will monitor Ativan withdrawal symptoms, and offer methods to alleviate these symptoms as much as possible.
We take a natural approach during detox treatment and utilize different non-clinical methods to help with withdrawals. Methods we may use include: nutritional support, hypnotherapy, visual therapy, vitamin and mineral infusions, amino acid therapy, low level laser therapy, and more. We will customize the detox program based off what each individual is experiencing during withdrawal.
If an individual is struggling with an anxiety disorder or other mental health condition, we will integrate on-going outpatient therapy when the time is right. During outpatient Ativan treatment, we’re able to identify triggers and work with each individual on how they can cope with those triggers moving forward.
In order to successfully alleviate and/or minimalize Ativan withdrawal symptoms, we utilize the Heather Ashton Protocol during detox. With this protocol, individuals often feel relief in just a couple of days which helps speed up the detox process.

Seeking Help for Ativan Addiction or Dependence
In many scenarios, Ativan is prescribed by a doctor to treat anxiety. Over time, the individual can build a tolerance to this prescription drug and eventually need a higher dosage. This can cause physical dependence of the drug.
In order to properly detox and be Ativan free, detox and rehab are necessary. After Ativan detox is complete, we offer on-going outpatient treatment options. Seeking professional help during this time is the first step. We’re here to help.
