Sleeping pill dependence often develops slowly: a nightly pill becomes two, or sleep feels impossible without it. Mixing sleeping pills with alcohol or opioids is especially dangerous because together they can slow breathing.
Treatment usually pairs a gradual taper with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, which helps restore natural sleep. See our sleeping pill withdrawal guide.
What sleeping pill rehab looks like
Treatment for Ambien and other sleeping pill dependence usually combines a gradual taper with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, which teaches the brain to sleep without medication. Programs also treat the anxiety, depression or pain that often sit underneath sleep problems.
The programs on this page report psychiatric medication management. Ask each program near Delaware how it handles tapering.
