What to know about Ambien and sleeping pills

Ambien (zolpidem), Lunesta (eszopiclone) and Sonata (zaleplon) are prescription sleep medications often called z-drugs. They are Schedule IV controlled substances. The FDA requires a boxed warning about complex sleep behaviors, such as sleep-walking and sleep-driving, which can cause serious injuries.

Long-term or high-dose use can lead to tolerance and dependence. Stopping suddenly can cause rebound insomnia and anxiety, so a gradual, supervised taper is safest. Read our Ambien addiction guide.

What medically managed detox involves

Hospital-based and medically managed detox programs can watch vital signs, adjust a taper and respond quickly if withdrawal becomes severe. That level of care matters most for people who have taken high doses for a long time or who also use alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines.

Ask detox programs near Pennsylvania how long a typical stay lasts and what follow-up they arrange.

Using your insurance

Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does the level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Plans regulated by federal parity law cannot set stricter limits on addiction care than on comparable medical care. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
