Last reviewed 01/2018
- women who are dependent on benzodiazepines should be stabilised on diazepam and, where this can be tolerated without restarting illicit use, the dose reduced
- if a woman is also being maintained on methadone then she should have her dose maintained during benzodiazepine reduction
