Diazepam rehab is a structured treatment programme designed to help those struggling with dependence on diazepam, a type of benzodiazepine commonly known by its brand name ‘Valium’. In 2023, 3,872 people sought treatment in England and Wales for issues related to benzodiazepines, unaware that they could become addicted to medication prescribed by a doctor.
If you find yourself relying on diazepam beyond the recommended duration or feel anxious without it, rehab treatment can provide the support you need to break free. Our caring team understands the complexities of healing from the control of these drugs and offers a safe, personalised approach to help you regain control and live a fulfilling, drug-free life.
Diazepam rehab at The Haynes Clinic
Benzodiazepines such as diazepam, Xanax and Valium, are often used as a coping mechanism when faced with anxiety and trauma. At The Haynes Clinic, we use a mix of evidence-based therapies, personalised support and coping tools to help you understand why you turned to diazepam for comfort. Our programme includes:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Holistic Therapies
We introduce you to a range of different therapy approaches so that you can find the one that best suits you and continue with this method once you leave our clinic.
Overcoming diazepam through connection and community
Addressing your dependency on diazepam can be incredibly intimidating. Our programme focuses on connection, bringing together a compassionate, understanding community who have been where you are and come out the other side. We’ll welcome you into a supportive environment of both peers and professionals who understand exactly what you’re going through, having experienced it themselves.
We treat the whole person
To give you the best chance of quitting diazepam, we not only offer detox but also tackle the emotional and psychological barriers that often keep you trapped in a cycle of using. Through a structured daily routine, you’ll explore your personal journey, confront negative patterns, and plan a healthier approach to your daily life.
We offer a range of tools to help you manage stress and emotions long after you leave our care. By the end of your treatment, you’ll not only have control over your diazepam cravings, but you’ll also leave with a roadmap for your new, drug-free life.
A holistic approach to physical health
Diazepam addiction doesn’t just impact your mind. It also takes a heavy toll on your body. From disrupted sleep and fatigue to lack of energy and poor physical health, diazepam use can leave you physically drained, especially during the mental toll of abstinence.
At The Haynes Clinic, we focus on restoring your physical health through a combination of nutritious meals, access to physical activities, and relaxation techniques. The physical healing process is a crucial part of your overall recovery, providing a strong foundation for any challenges that may lie ahead.
Long-term support for diazepam recovery
Recovery doesn’t stop when you leave rehab; it’s something you will need to work on, day by day. The early months following graduation can be especially difficult, which is why we offer a comprehensive aftercare programme to help you transition back into everyday life.
For a whole year after your diazepam treatment, we invite you back for an entire day each week to continue your recovery journey. Continuing your care post-rehab supports you in staying grounded and focused when you experience cravings.
Personalised treatment
We understand that no two recovery journeys are the same. While our programme follows a structured framework, your treatment plan is customised to suit your unique needs. This includes tailoring the length of your treatment, selecting specific medications, bespoke private counselling sessions, and integrating holistic therapies. Your recovery from diazepam at The Haynes Clinic is as unique as you are.
Expert team
Our team is not only highly qualified, but they also understand addiction on a deeply personal level. All our staff, from the Founders to the Therapists, have faced this journey themselves and are living proof of the possibility of recovery from prescription medication. Our empathy and compassion, combined with expertise, offer unmatched guidance throughout your recovery.
Who benefits from diazepam rehab?
Diazepam rehab benefits anyone struggling to control their intake of the drug, whether prescribed for a medical condition or taken recreationally.
You should consider diazepam rehab if:
- You feel unable to stop using diazepam despite wanting to
- You feel overwhelmed by cravings, restlessness or panic when you don’t have access to the medication
- The use of benzodiazepines is impacting your relationships or work life
- You rely on diazepam to destress when faced with anxiety, stress or unwanted emotions
- The medication no longer works as effectively unless you increase the dosage
Family members and friends may also benefit from diazepam rehab, as it offers the chance for loved ones to rebuild trust while you are in a safe environment, notice your progress and discover how to best support your recovery journey.
Overcoming doubts about diazepam rehab
We understand that the decision to enter rehab for diazepam addiction is daunting. We’ve all experienced uncertainties before taking the plunge into treatment, and many of our clients come to us feeling nervous or unsure of what to expect.
To put you at ease about the reality of our diazepam programme, here are two real-life examples, giving insight into how rehab can lead to freedom, self-love, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Emma, who said the following after seven months sober, perfectly describes how diazepam rehab can be a crutch when you are at a low point and commit to attending your meetings and keeping connected.
“The Haynes is more of a boot camp than a spa, so if you really want to change your life and take a hard look at yourself, then DO IT! I absolutely love my sober life. Life can be stressful, and things happen, but I don’t need [substances] to feel better anymore.
“The Haynes really drummed into me that attending [fellowship meetings] is the only way to stay sober, and that lesson has stuck with me. I love my meetings, and the support I get from the fellowship is incredible.
“I honestly loved my time at Haynes; it was challenging, but it was life-changing! I found myself again, and I’m forever thankful for that.”
— Emma
Stuart, who recently completed his treatment, highlights the significance of the deep-rooted therapy and workshops we provide:
The staff at Haynes were so empathetic and really understood my situation, my pain, and my struggles. Let me be clear: Haynes is not a retreat. It’s there to break you down bit by bit, then help you rebuild your life into something you can recognise as your own.
It hurts. It’s traumatic, intense, and exhausting. But I’m now writing this on my 70th day of sobriety – something I never thought I’d achieve. I owe my life to every member of the Haynes team.
Today, I have a future I look forward to every day. And if I can do it, so can you.”
— Stuart
Rehab is not a holiday, nor is it an opportunity to turn up without engaging, just to make someone else happy. Diazepam rehab is a serious commitment that will only support you through recovery from prescription medication if you are ready to take it seriously. However, with dedication and a willingness to learn, it will give you your life back.
If you’re feeling unsure, remember that the transformation is real. The Haynes Clinic provides the support, structure, and tools to help you build a life free from diazepam and find a sense of control you may not even know is possible.

Yes, you can attend diazepam rehab if you take other substances. Most private treatment programmes address multiple dependencies at once, ensuring that you take control of any urges to use harmful substances as a coping mechanism.
