Zaleplon Addiction Treatment

If you are reading this page, you have likely already decided that you need help for Zaleplon addiction. It may not seem like it when you are still caught up in the destructive cycle of drug use but just researching your options is a huge step on the road to recovery. Banbury Lodge has helped many people overcome sleeping pill addiction, and we know exactly what it takes. This page will walk you through the three stages of Zaleplon addiction treatment so you can prepare for the challenging but transformative journey ahead.

Step one: Zaleplon detox

The first step of Zaleplon addiction treatment is detox and it is often the one that people are most nervous about. You have probably tried to give up Zaleplon before and found yourself craving it intensely, feeling anxious and being unable to sleep. These are Zaleplon withdrawal symptoms and one of the most important parts of detox is to help you manage them safely until all the drug has been cleared from your system.

To help you do this, Banbury Lodge’s team first evaluate your current state of health and Zaleplon use history. This allows us to make a Zaleplon detox plan which minimises discomfort during withdrawal and keeps you completely safe. While you are detoxing, your team will monitor you for any complications, provide medicine if you need it and make adjustments to your plan if necessary.

Possible Zaleplon withdrawal symptoms

Zaleplon withdrawal symptoms vary between different people to some extent. However, there are some common symptoms that you may have experienced if you have previously tried quitting. These include:

• Anxiety
• Moodiness
• A recurrence of sleep issues
• Nausea and vomiting
• Shakiness

In some serious cases, there may be the risk of more serious Zaleplon withdrawal symptoms which is why the initial medical assessment and a flexible detox plan are so important. These can include:

• Delirium
• Extreme confusion
• Hallucinations
• Seizures

These may sound scary but Banbury Lodge has years of detox experience and will ensure you are in no danger and are as comfortable as possible.

How long does it take to detox from Zaleplon?

Zaleplon withdrawal symptoms usually begin the same day you stop taking Zaleplon or begin to taper your dose. Early symptoms are usually rebound insomnia, slowly increasing anxiety and cravings.

Over the next few days, these symptoms will likely intensify, and you may begin to feel increasingly angry, depressed and restless. Sleep will likely be very difficult, and you may experience extreme sweating and tremors. This period is usually considered to be the peak of Zaleplon withdrawal.

As you go into the second week, physical Zaleplon withdrawal symptoms should all begin to decrease and should be gone altogether by the end of the week. If you have any lingering anxiety or sleep issues, your treatment team will help you manage them.

Step two: Zaleplon rehab

Once you have successfully cleared your body of Zaleplon and broken your physical dependence, you will notice a marked improvement in how you feel. With this new energy and focus, you can then move on to Zaleplon rehab which will take you on a journey of discovery inside yourself. You will take part in a full programme of therapies where you will learn:

• What caused your initial Zaleplon use to escalate
• Why you initially became reliant on Zaleplon
• Why you no longer need to rely on it
• What changes you need to make in your life to prevent relapse

Rehab is a critical part of sleeping pill addiction treatment because if you only complete detox, all of the underlying issues can reappear down the line and cause you to relapse. By undergoing rehab treatment, you can identify and address these issues so they no longer hold power over you.

What can I expect from Zaleplon rehab in Banbury Lodge?

Banbury Lodge’s Zaleplon rehab treatment is a highly structured programme combining proven therapies and holistic healing approaches. Here is what you can expect:

Behavioural therapies

These are therapies that help you recognise and change habits and behaviours related to using Zaleplon. You will learn to see how your thoughts and feelings drive Zaleplon use so you can break the connection between them.

Group therapy

Group therapy is not just a great way to get to know the other people in rehab but can also teach you how other people are working through their substance issues. You can share tips, experiences and feelings with everyone coming together and working towards the same goals.

Individual therapy

Individual therapy is your private time to work through all of the experiences that have brought you to this point. These personal sessions are not usually available through NHS outpatient treatment but they are one of the best ways to unpick the underlying causes of Zaleplon dependency.

Family therapy

Family therapy brings your loved ones right into the heart of your recovery journey. It helps everyone communicate better and work through any problems together. This can repair the damage done by Zaleplon use and ensure you have a supportive environment when you return home.

Holistic therapies

These are therapies intended to heal your body, mind and soul and provide holistic healing. They include meditation, yoga therapy, art therapy and mindfulness to give you a well-rounded recovery.

Step three: Relapse prevention

Completing Zaleplon detox and rehab is a massive step on the road to recovery but now you need to make sure you don’t relapse when you return home. This can be a tricky time as you will go from the sanctuary of Banbury Lodge back to your normal, everyday life.

We will help to prepare you for this transition with a relapse prevention plan that you will make during your stay with us. We will also provide free weekly group therapy for the first year after you leave to keep you connected and supported. As well as attending this aftercare programme, some other useful ways to prevent relapse include:

Stay connected

Keep in touch with the friends you made during rehab, and join a local recovery group like Narcotics Anonymous. Being able to talk about your issues and feelings with people who understand can take a load off your shoulders and keep you accountable.

Take control of your triggers

This means identifying, managing or avoiding situations, people or places that make you want to use Zaleplon. It may mean changing some of your habits, hanging out in new places, or even ending a friendship with someone who is not supportive of your recovery.

Establish a healthy routine

Zaleplon rehab follows a busy, healthy routine and this is important for keeping your mind and body busy and balanced. Establish a routine with lots of exercise, healthy meals and time for hobbies and loved ones and you should experience far fewer cravings and triggers.

Set goals

Having clear, achievable goals can give you something positive to focus on when times are tough. Whether it’s doing well in school, picking up a new hobby or just spending time with family, goals can keep you motivated and allow you to take recovery one day at a time.

By following these tips and staying committed to your recovery plan, you can reduce the chances of relapse and continue living a healthy, Zaleplon-free life.
