CITA - COUNCIL OF
INVOLUNTARY TRANQUILIZER ADDICTIONaddiction to benzodiazapines and withdrawal from these drugs. CITA is also a
resource to draw on for information generally about addiction to prescribed
drugs and anxiety management and lobbies for recognition of this problem. The helpline is staffed by ex-benzodiazepine users, nurses and counsellors
and provides support and reassurance for those withdrawing from benzodiazepine
and other prescribed drugs, especially anti-depressants. Literature and tapes
are available. CITA has a list of self help groups (although cannot take responsibility for
the work of these other groups). Very often people withdraw from a distance
with telephone support. Protocols are available on application to CITA and
withdrawal programs are drawn up for clients.
