Go to the hospital. That's something fixable easy. Rehab is also helpful if you need it.

They won't put you in the psych hospital for withdrawals. And a lot of rehabs will help you get it funded.

You need to be patient for a little while and everything will pass, you have withdrawal. I had withdrawal syndrome for 1 week, after abruptly stopping Carbamazepine, I drank it for 2.5 years. But if you feel really bad, it is better to seek help in the hospital. Get well soon

I'm an actual therapist. Substance withdrawal is in no way qualifying for involuntary hospitalization. You have to be a danger to your self or others, or completely unable to care for yourself making it dangerous. You can go to a psych unit for withdrawals, just the car majority of the time it cannot be involuntary.

Thank you. I have been in the psych ward ...I tried to CBT so many times. Last time I was there they put me in the detox unit. Got me off of the benzos in 5 days...then the withdrawls started...relapsed. And still no help with underlying issues. Withdrawls are so bad that I am agoraphobic, and can't even dress myself...it has been 8 months of this.

And I am on xanax and valium....tapering myself, and ambien....can't do it. When I get all the way off...it could be YEARS of this torture. Now I owe all of the wards money and can't go anywhere
