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 Rhode Island how long a typical stay lasts and what follow-up they arrange.
