Zopiclone Addiction Treatment

Zopiclone addiction can throw your life into disarray and often make it feel like recovery is impossible. Banbury Lodge has helped countless people who feel this exact same way, and we know what it takes. Our zopiclone addiction treatment programmes are specially designed to help you safely come off zopiclone, begin the healing process, and effectively work through all the personal factors that have resulted in sleeping pill addiction.

Do I need zopiclone addiction treatment?

Zopiclone is a fairly common prescription medicine, and the line between regular use and dependency can often be blurry. If you are unsure about whether you may need zopiclone addiction treatment, ask yourself these questions:

• Have I been taking more zopiclone than my doctor prescribed or even taking it with no prescription at all?
• Do I constantly crave zopiclone when I have gone without it for a while?
• Have I failed to quit before because of zopiclone withdrawal symptoms? (see below)
• Is the zopiclone dose I used to take no longer effective?
• Are my friends and family worried about my zopiclone use or behaviour?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, then zopiclone addiction treatment could help you regain control of your life. Here’s how it works:

Stage one: Zopiclone detox

When you stop taking zopiclone, your body will naturally begin to clear it from your systems. If you have been using it in large doses and for a long time, this can take days and even weeks and you will likely experience zopiclone withdrawal while it is happening. Anyone who has ever tried to quit zopiclone before will likely have experienced zopiclone withdrawal symptoms, and they often cause a relapse.

At Banbury Lodge, we provide medical zopiclone detox as the first stage of all sleeping pill addiction treatment programmes. This means that our experienced medical team will carefully plan your detox and closely monitor you through it.

Our goal is to help you through this first stage with care and compassion, reducing the discomfort and anxiety that can come with zopiclone withdrawal. You will have access to round-the-clock support from our team who may also provide medications and therapies to help ease zopiclone withdrawal symptoms.

By managing your zopiclone detox in this controlled way, we help reduce the risk of relapse and prepare you for the next stages of your recovery journey.

What kind of zopiclone withdrawal symptoms can I expect?

It is not always possible to predict exactly which zopiclone withdrawal symptoms you will experience. It often depends on how much you have been taking, for how long and your general state of health. However, some typical symptoms include:

However, some typical symptoms include:

• Anxiety and restlessness
• Insomnia
• Irritability and unpredictable moods
• Sweating
• Shaking
• Nausea
• Stomach problems
• Constant headaches

While most people experience mild to moderate symptoms during zopiclone withdrawal, some more severe symptoms can arise, especially if the drug has been used in high doses or for a long period. These can include:

• Severe anxiety
• Panic attacks
• Hallucinations or delusions
• Severe insomnia
• Seizures
• Depression or suicidal thoughts

At Banbury Lodge, we take these risks very seriously. That’s why our medical zopiclone detox staff is trained to act quickly and provide the necessary interventions if any serious zopiclone withdrawal symptoms arise.

How long does it take to detox from zopiclone?

As with the symptoms themselves, the zopiclone withdrawal timeline can also be difficult to predict. However, most people begin to experience withdrawal symptoms within the first 24 to 48 hours after their last dose, with the intensity of these symptoms typically peaking around the second or third day. For some, the worst of the zopiclone withdrawal symptoms may subside after a week, but for others, especially those who have been using zopiclone for a long time or in high doses, the detox process can take longer.

Some zopiclone withdrawal symptoms, like insomnia or anxiety, might linger for several weeks or even months, though they usually decrease in intensity over time. This extended period of zopiclone withdrawal is sometimes referred to as post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) and can be managed with ongoing support and care.

At Banbury Lodge, we understand that the detox process is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Our medical team will work with you to create a personalised detox plan that considers your specific needs and circumstances.

Stage two: Zopiclone rehab treatment

Once you have completed zopiclone detox and most of the symptoms of withdrawal have begun to ease, you should be feeling a whole lot better both physically and mentally.

Unfortunately, zopiclone detox only deals with the physical aspect of dependency, and so with detox alone, the psychological and emotional factors that contributed to your dependence remain unaddressed. This is where rehab treatment comes in.

Zopiclone rehab has various goals. First, we aim to help you understand the root causes of your zopiclone use. This means exploring the underlying emotional, psychological and sometimes social issues that led to your reliance on zopiclone. By gaining this understanding, you can heal from the inside out.

Another important goal of zopiclone rehab is to equip you with the tools and strategies needed to maintain sobriety after you leave. This involves learning new ways to cope with stress, anxiety and other triggers that might have previously led you to use zopiclone. Through therapy and counselling, you will develop healthier habits and thought patterns that support a drug-free lifestyle.

What can I expect from zopiclone rehab in Banbury Lodge?

At Banbury Lodge, we offer a comprehensive zopiclone rehab programme. It includes a variety of therapies and support systems, all designed to help you heal and grow in different ways. Some of the most important aspects of our rehab programme include:

Individual therapy

One-on-one sessions with a therapist allow you to explore the personal issues that may have led to your zopiclone use. This safe and confidential space helps you gain insight into your behaviours and emotions, empowering you to make positive changes.

Group therapy

Sharing your experiences with others who are going through similar challenges can be incredibly healing. Group therapy provides a sense of community and support, helping you realise that you are not alone in your recovery journey.

Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT)

DBT is a proven therapeutic approach that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours. By learning new skills like mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance, you can better manage stress and other triggers, reducing the risk of relapse.

Holistic therapies

We also offer a range of holistic therapies, such as mindfulness, yoga and art therapy. These can help you reconnect with yourself and find peace without relying on substances.

Relapse prevention planning

As your time in zopiclone rehab comes to an end, our team will work with you to create a personalised relapse prevention plan. This will include ongoing therapy through our aftercare programme, support groups and other resources to help you maintain your recovery and stay on track.
