Is Xanax Rehab Right for You?

Xanax (alprazolam) is a benzodiazepine, a medication often used for anxiety and panic. Stopping suddenly can be risky, so please don’t quit on your own. Call us and we’ll help you with the safest next step.

Stopping Xanax suddenly can be risky. If you need to withdraw under medical care first, we'll connect you with a licensed detox provider, then you can start with us.
Your main concern is anxiety or panic, not substance use. We treat that too.
You want more support than weekly therapy gives you. Our IOP meets several days a week.

What You'll Work On in Xanax Rehab

Many people start Xanax to calm anxiety or sleep, and the original problem is still there under the dependence. Treatment looks at both.

Is it safe to stop Xanax on my own?

It can be risky. Stopping suddenly after regular use can cause serious withdrawal symptoms, so please don’t quit on your own. Talk with a doctor, or call us and we help you work out the safest next step.

No. Shoreline provides outpatient care and doesn’t offer detox or withdrawal management. If you need to withdraw under medical care first, our admissions team refers you to a licensed detox provider and helps you transition into our program afterward.

Yes. Dependence can develop even when you take a medication as prescribed, and there’s no shame in it. Please don’t change your dose without talking to your prescriber. Our team can help you with the next step.

You attend group and individual therapy, and you can see our psychiatric providers when you need them. Treatment works on the anxiety, panic or sleep problems that often sit underneath, and on a plan to prevent relapse.

It depends on your needs and your progress. Your therapist reviews your plan with you as you go and helps you step down to lighter support when you’re ready.

We’re in network with HealthNet, Tricare and Anthem, and we accept most other private plans out of network. We don’t accept Medicaid or Medicare. We verify your benefits before you start at no cost, so you know your coverage up front.

That’s very common. Our team treats substance use and anxiety together, so you’re not left with the original problem once the dependence is addressed. Therapy builds other ways to handle anxiety and panic.

Yes. Shoreline is at 183 Calle Magdalena, Suite 101 in Encinitas, and we serve adults across San Diego County, including Carlsbad, Oceanside, Solana Beach, Del Mar, San Marcos and Escondido. If getting here is hard, Virtual IOP is open to adults anywhere in California.
