Sleeping Pill Rehab
Living with chronic insomnia can be exhausting and sleeping pills can feel like a miracle when nothing else has helped. But while sleeping pills can help in the short term, it is easy to lose control over their use. Sleeping pill addiction can destroy your life but Liberty House can provide the treatment and ongoing support you need to turn things around. With our multi-stage sleeping pill rehab programme, we can help you get the sleep you need and the life you deserve.
What is sleeping pill rehab?
Sleeping pill rehab refers to the complete process of treating sleeping pill addiction. While each centre may take a different approach, sleeping pill addiction treatment at Liberty House focuses on three key stages:
- Sleeping pill detox
- Sleeping Pill rehab therapy
- Aftercare and relapse prevention
Sleeping pill rehab programmes are essential because you cannot just “snap out of” drug addiction. Sleeping pills cause immense harm to your body, mind, relationships and emotional being, and all this damage needs to be professionally addressed.
Liberty House’s sleeping pill rehab programmes give you the space to pause, reflect and start fresh. It is where you can start to make sense of the chaos, wade through the weeds of what caused your sleeping pill dependency and face those challenges head-on.
Sleeping pill detox
Breaking free from sleeping pills isn’t as simple as just stopping. When your body has grown used to them, quitting can feel like pulling the brakes on a speeding train with withdrawal symptoms crashing in. If you have quit before at home, you will have already experienced these challenges, and it is why so many people fail when they go “cold turkey”.
But drug detox at Liberty House is a professionally planned and managed process. Our sleeping pill detox programme has proven effective, safe and comfortable. Some of the benefits include:
- A sanctuary for recovery: Liberty House is one of the top sleeping pill detox facilities in the UK. We provide a peaceful say with no outside stresses and no access to drugs or alcohol – just calm surroundings where you can fully focus on sleeping pill detox.
- 24/7 care you can count on: Day or night, our medical team is there to monitor your progress, manage sleeping pill withdrawal symptoms and make sure all your physical and emotional needs are met.
- A unique sleeping pill detox plan: No two recoveries are the same, and that’s why we are building a plan that works for your body, your needs, and your detox journey.
- The bridge to deeper healing: Detox is just the start of something bigger so once you’ve cleared the first hurdles, you’ll be ready to take on the deeper work of recovery.
Sleeping pill withdrawal symptoms and timeline
Sleeping pill withdrawal symptoms can be unpredictable as different people’s brains and bodies react differently. However, knowing what to expect can help you feel a bit more prepared for the rollercoaster ahead. Typical sleeping pill withdrawal symptoms tend to involve some combination of:
- Rebound sleep issues
- Emotional ups and downs
- Headaches, tremors, stiffness and other physical aches and pains
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Anxiety and depression
- Sleeping pill cravings
The intensity and length of symptoms are also unique to each person, but the timeline usually goes something like this:
- First two days: This is when things usually kick off with anxiety, insomnia and restlessness all hitting you as your brain starts to notice the sleeping pills are missing.
- Middle of week one: This is often the hardest stretch with sleeping pill withdrawal symptoms becoming their most intense. It is at this point that many people going “cold turkey” fail, and it is when professional support is most critical.
- End of week one: As week one draws to a close, peak sleeping pill withdrawal symptoms should have faded. The worst physical symptoms will hopefully have eased significantly but some cravings and anxiety may still be affecting you.
- Week two and longer: The worst of it is usually over by now but lingering issues like rebound insomnia or anxiety can be very stubborn. At this stage, support from our professionals will help you stay focused on your recovery plan while you ride out the last of the discomfort.
Sleeping pill rehab treatment
Sleeping pill rehab treatment is about rewiring how you think, feel and live without the crutch of sleeping pills. At Liberty House, our drug rehab programmes help you pinpoint the struggles and setbacks that have left you addicted so you can work through them step-by-step. During your stay with us as a resident, you will step out of the haze and start asking the big questions:
Why did I need sleeping pills in the first place?
What have they taken from me?
And how do I take it all back?
Sleeping pill rehab will help you answer those and start to reveal your true self that has been buried beneath addiction. Some of the benefits of our sedative rehab programmes include:
- A programme of therapies that gets to the heart of the matter
- An inpatient environment away from triggers and external challenges
- Continued treatment and support once your stay is complete

Sleeping pill relapse prevention and aftercare
The world outside rehab can feel overwhelming at first but Liberty House will make sure you don’t face it unprepared. Before you even step out the door, we will work together on relapse prevention, helping you spot the red flags, avoid tempting situations and reach out to your support system when you need it.
For the first year after you leave, you will continue to attend weekly group therapy which we will provide for free. This will keep you in contact with our therapists and counsellors and ensure there is always someone to talk to.
But that’s not all. You will also become part of the UKAT Alumni Network, a community of people who have walked this same road. From online chats to fun social events, the Alumni Network keeps you connected, accountable and surrounded by people who care about you.
All of this highlights our belief that recovery isn’t just about staying away from sleeping pills – it’s about building a life full of joy, friendship and new beginnings.
