Cognitive behavioural therapy plus tapered doses versus tapered doses only to reduce benzodiazepine use in the long-term

Summary of the evidence

Rating
  • Unknown effectiveness

Cognitive behavioural therapy plus taper was found to have no different effect than only taper in a systematic review (Darker et al., 2015) in:

  • reducing use at 6, 12 and 24 months follow-up;
  • reducing drop-outs at any time intervals
