Can you tell me about an alternative treatment
center where one can detoxify from psychiatric
medication without using other drugs, but which
has expertise in the effects of medication?My sister is coming off of Xanax, Haldol, and
Atemperator. It's horrible and she has
contemplated suicide (which we attribute to the
stress of withdrawl). This has happened three
times before, where her psychiatrist recommended
ending her medication, and just when it's time to
come of off the final doses she becomes explosive,
violent, with hours of crying. Then we send her
to a hospital, which gives her new medication
starting the cycle again. That's why we need
an alternative treatment center which doesn't
depend on the use of medication but has expertise
in its use. Thank you, I appreciate any
information.
