Zopiclone addiction is a challenging and life-altering issue, often beginning as a safe solution for those struggling to sleep. If you find yourself unable to stop using zopiclone despite the negative impacts it has on your life, you may need time to consider seeking professional help. At Sanctuary Lodge, our zopiclone addiction treatment programme is built on a foundation of support and understanding designed to walk you through each step of the process. We know the prospect of starting sleeping pill detox/rehab may seem intimidating, but our experts will be there to reassure and guide you every step of the way.

Zopiclone detox

The journey to overcoming a sleeping pill addiction to zopiclone always begins with a medical detox. This is the process of letting your body gradually rid itself of zopiclone under careful medical supervision. This supervision is crucial because stopping zopiclone abruptly can be difficult and potentially harmful, causing zopiclone withdrawal symptoms that are both uncomfortable and unsafe without proper management.

When you undergo zopiclone detox at Sanctuary Lodge, our highly experienced medical team will guide and support you. They will give you a full medical assessment, supervise your progress and potentially provide medication to ensure your safety and manage any discomfort. Here are some of the key benefits of undergoing zopiclone detox at Sanctuary Lodge:

A secure and controlled inpatient detox environment
24/7 expert medical care to prevent complications
A customised zopiclone detox plan that is tailored to your needs
Vital physical, emotional and psychological support
A robust foundation to begin zopiclone rehab therapy

Potential zopiclone withdrawal symptoms

Understanding what to expect during zopiclone detox can make the process less daunting and help you feel more prepared. Some of the primary zopiclone withdrawal symptoms you might encounter include:

Physical symptoms: You may have headaches, nausea or muscle pain. Although unpleasant, these symptoms are positive indicators that your body is expelling the drug.
Zopiclone cravings: A strong urge to take zopiclone again is a common complication, but these cravings will diminish through the withdrawal phase.
Sleep disturbances: Ironically, given that zopiclone is used as a sleep aid, one of the most common and difficult zopiclone withdrawal symptoms is rebound insomnia.
Increased anxiety or restlessness: You may experience unusual anxiety as your body adjusts to the absence of zopiclone.
Mood changes: Experiencing mood swings is common during zopiclone withdrawal as your body craves the substance it’s accustomed to.

How long does it take to detox from zopiclone?

Understanding the zopiclone withdrawal timeline can be very helpful as it can provide a clearer picture of what lies ahead. Although everyone’s experience can vary, the zopiclone withdrawal timeline typically unfolds as follows:

First 24-48 hours: Symptoms like intense insomnia and anxiety begin to surface in the first day or two after you stop taking zopiclone.
Days 3-5: Around the middle of the first week, you may experience a peak in mood swings and physical discomfort, which can be the most challenging period.
End of the first week: Symptoms generally start to lessen as the first week ends, with improvements in sleep and a decrease in physical discomfort.
The second week onwards: Symptoms generally start to lessen as the first-week ends, with improvements in sleep and a decrease in physical discomfort.

Our team at Sanctuary Lodge is equipped to provide comfort and reassurance during every stage of this zopiclone withdrawal timeline, helping you feel confident and supported at all times.

Zopiclone rehab treatment

Once the zopiclone detox phase is successfully behind you, the next part of your recovery involves deep diving into the reasons behind your zopiclone use. This stage is crucial because it helps uncover not just the ‘what’ of your zopiclone addiction but the ‘why’. Whether stress, underlying health conditions or emotional issues are at play, our zopiclone rehab therapy sessions are designed as a safe space for you to explore these factors in depth.

At Sanctuary Lodge, you will engage with skilled therapists who teach techniques to manage stress, anxiety and sleep issues without medication. Our inpatient treatment setting provides a supportive environment, free from the triggers of your usual surroundings, ensuring that help is available whenever you need it.

Some of our most effective zopiclone rehab therapies include:

Group therapy

Group therapy harnesses the power of shared healing by connecting you with peers who understand your struggles firsthand. These sessions are designed to foster a sense of community, allowing you to exchange successful strategies and build lasting bonds.

Individual counselling

Individual counselling allows you to dive deep into your personal narrative with one-on-one sessions. They provide individualised attention that helps unravel the complex web of factors that led to your zopiclone use.

Dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT)

DBT tackles zopiclone use by teaching skills to manage emotions, tolerate distress, and improve relationships through mindfulness and effective coping strategies. It offers a holistic approach, addressing underlying issues to reduce reliance on substances and promote a balanced life.

Holistic therapies

Sanctuary Lodge provides a range of holistic therapies for a well-rounded approach to wellness. From the calming practice of yoga to the mindful art of meditation and the creative expression found in art therapy, these activities are designed to reduce stress, improve mental clarity and promote a deeper connection to your emotional and physical well-being.

Zopiclone relapse prevention

In this final stage of Sanctuary Lodge’s zopiclone addiction treatment programme, we help to ensure you have everything you need for a healthy, sober life after you leave rehab. It’s all about sticking to your positive changes without falling back into old habits. Some of the most effective relapse prevention strategies include:

Dealing with triggers

Everyone has those specific situations or feelings that make them think about slipping back. We will help you figure out what your triggers are and teach you ways to handle them without feeling like you need zopiclone to cope.

Building your support network

Leaving rehab doesn’t mean you are on your own. We will help you put together a team of go-to people, including friends, family and recovery professionals who can cheer you on, lend an ear when you need it and keep you focused on your goals.

Keeping up healthy habits

Eating right, staying active and getting enough sleep can greatly affect your mood and stress levels. We will show you how to weave these into your routine, so they become second nature.

Ongoing aftercare

Recovery is a journey, not a sprint. That is why we offer a whole year of free group therapy sessions after you leave Sanctuary Lodge. This will help you stay connected, tackle new challenges and keep the momentum going with people who understand what you’re going through.
