How to Help a Loved One with Xanax Addiction

Watching someone you love struggle with xanax is devastating. Here is how to approach the conversation and what support is available.

Approach with Compassion, Not Confrontation

Addiction is a disease, not a choice. Choose a calm moment when your loved one is sober to express your concerns. Use "I" statements rather than accusations.

  • "I'm worried about your health" instead of "You drink too much"
  • Listen without judgment and validate their feelings
  • Avoid enabling behaviors like covering for their drinking
  • Set clear boundaries and follow through consistently

Together We Heal Family Workshop

Valley Spring offers a free 6-session family workshop open to anyone, not just our patients' families. Led by facilitators with lived experience.

  • Understanding addiction as a disease (includes Narcan training)
  • Communication strategies and healthy boundary setting
  • Family roles: breaking enabler/hero/scapegoat patterns
  • Self-care for family members (stress, guilt, burnout)

Recognize the Signs Early

Early intervention dramatically improves outcomes. Watch for these warning signs in your loved one.

  • Drinking alone or hiding xanax around the house
  • Blackouts, memory gaps, or personality changes when drinking
  • Neglecting work, family obligations, or personal hygiene
  • Irritability or anxiety when unable to use

What to Expect from Treatment

Understanding the treatment process helps families support their loved one through recovery.

  • Intake includes biopsychosocial assessment (about 1 hour)
  • Regular family therapy sessions with consent
  • Weekly treatment team meetings match patients with best-fit therapists
  • Case managers handle FMLA, disability, court/DUI coordination

What If Your Loved One Refuses Xanax Treatment?

Refusal is common and does not mean recovery is impossible. These protocols can help you navigate resistance.

Protocol01

Understand That Refusal Is Not Rejection

Denial is a hallmark symptom of xanax use disorder. Your loved one may not see the severity of their drinking or may be terrified of change. Their refusal is driven by the disease, not by how they feel about you.

Protocol02

Stop Enabling Without Stopping Love

Enabling means removing consequences that might motivate change. Stop covering for missed work, paying off debts caused by drinking, or making excuses to family and friends. You can love someone while refusing to participate in their addiction.

Protocol03

Consider a Professional Intervention

A structured intervention led by a trained interventionist can help break through denial. Valley Spring can connect you with intervention professionals who specialize in xanax addiction.

Protocol04

Set Boundaries and Follow Through

Clearly communicate what behaviors you will and will not accept. Write them down. If you say "I will not stay in this house if you drink," follow through. Inconsistency teaches your loved one that consequences are empty threats.

Protocol05

Seek Support for Yourself

Al-Anon meetings, therapy, and Valley Spring's Together We Heal workshop are available to you whether or not your loved one enters treatment. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Taking care of yourself is not selfish; it is necessary.

Protocol06

Keep the Door Open

Let your loved one know that when they are ready, treatment is available. Valley Spring offers same-day admissions and 24/7 phone support. Recovery often begins when the window of willingness opens, even briefly. Be ready for that moment.

Your Family Deserves Recovery Too

Our Together We Heal workshop is free and open to anyone. 6 sessions over 6 months covering addiction education, communication, boundaries, and self-care. You do not have to navigate this alone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Xanax Treatment

Everything you need to know about xanax addiction treatment at Valley Spring Recovery Center.

Brief01

What levels of care do you offer for xanax addiction?

Valley Spring offers a complete continuum of outpatient care for xanax addiction: Partial Care (6 hours/day, Mon-Sat), IOP 5-Day (evenings, Mon-Fri), IOP 3-Day (evenings, flexible days), Virtual IOP, Outpatient (1-2 days/week), and Medication-Assisted Treatment. Patients progress through our 4-stage model based on clinical readiness, not arbitrary timelines.

Brief02

Do I need to detox before entering your program?

Yes, patients must be medically cleared and stabilized before beginning outpatient treatment at Valley Spring. We do not offer medical detox on-site. Our admissions team can help coordinate detox placement at a partner facility, and many patients come to us directly after completing inpatient or residential detoxification.

Brief03

What medications do you use for xanax treatment?

Our medical director Dr. Michael Olla manages xanax-specific MAT including Naltrexone (oral and injectable Vivitrol), Topamax, and other FDA-approved medications for xanax use disorder. MAT is integrated with therapy, not a standalone treatment. The goal is to reduce cravings while you build coping skills through clinical work.

Brief04

Can I work while in treatment for xanax addiction?

Absolutely. Our IOP programs run from 6-9 PM specifically so working professionals can maintain employment. We also have dedicated case managers who handle FMLA paperwork, short-term disability documentation, union communications, and return-to-work letters. Many of our patients are nurses, teachers, first responders, and corporate professionals.

Brief05

How long does xanax treatment last?

Treatment length varies by individual. Partial Care typically lasts 4-6 weeks, IOP runs 6-8 weeks, and Virtual/OP continues 8-12 weeks. The full continuum from Partial Care through Alumni can span 6-12 months. Advancement is based on measurable clinical progress, insurance authorizations, and readiness for independence, not a fixed calendar.

Brief06

What does a typical day in Partial Care look like?

Partial Care runs 9 AM to 3 PM, Monday through Saturday. Your day includes: small process group (under 10 people) from 9-10:30 AM, psychoeducational group from 10:30 AM-12 PM, catered lunch from 12-1 PM, Health and Wellness group from 1-2 PM, and an elective group (you choose the topic) from 2-3 PM. Individual therapy and case management sessions are scheduled throughout the week.

Brief07

Does insurance cover xanax addiction treatment?

Yes. Most major insurance plans cover outpatient xanax treatment at Valley Spring. We accept 16 insurance providers including Horizon, Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, United Healthcare, and more. Our admissions team verifies your benefits for free, usually within 1 hour during business hours. Call (201) 781-8812 to check your coverage.

Brief08

What therapies do you use for xanax addiction?

Our clinical team uses evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, Motivational Interviewing, experiential therapy, and family therapy. We also offer our Health and Wellness 5 Pillars program covering sleep, movement, nervous system regulation, psychoeducation, and medication literacy.

Brief09

Do you treat co-occurring mental health conditions with xanax addiction?

Yes. Valley Spring is dually licensed for Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health treatment. Many xanax patients also struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or other mental health conditions. Our dual-licensed therapists treat both simultaneously, because addressing only the addiction while ignoring the underlying mental health condition leads to relapse.

Brief10

How do I get started with xanax treatment at Valley Spring?

Call our admissions line at (201) 781-8812, available 24/7. Our team will conduct a pre-assessment and verify your insurance. Clinical review and approval happens within 1 hour. We will schedule your intake within 24 hours, and many patients complete intake the same day or next day. You will meet our Program Coordinators, tour the facility, complete your assessment, and can begin treatment immediately.
