Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
A flexible, structured path to recovery that fits around your real life — without sacrificing the depth of care you need to heal.
At Empower Recovery in Van Nuys, CA, we provide supportive, structured care for adults facing benzodiazepine addiction. Our team stands with you, offering guidance and community to build a strong foundation for sobriety.


Benzodiazepine use disorder develops when the body adapts to regular use of medications like Xanax, Ativan, or Valium, leading to tolerance and dependence. What often begins as treatment for anxiety or insomnia can gradually become compulsive use.
Recovery starts with recognizing the challenge and seeking support. At Empower Recovery, we help adults stabilize through evidence-based care, daily structure, and peer connections, focusing on practical skills for sustained sobriety.

Overcoming benzodiazepine addiction requires a careful, gradual approach to dependence, since stopping too quickly can be dangerous. Our approach integrates proven therapies with accountability and community support to help clients regain control and thrive.
We combine clinical modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, group sessions, and 12-step principles with life skills training and medication management when needed.

Recovery is a lifelong journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. Our Alumni Program keeps you connected long after treatment ends.
Professional treatment offers a safe, gradual taper, tools to manage withdrawal symptoms, and strategies to prevent relapse, all of which are hard to achieve alone. Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be severe or even life-threatening without medical guidance.
