Recovery Road (formerly Benzo-Wise) is dedicated to supporting people experiencing withdrawal as a result of long-term use of benzodiazepine tranquillisers. It is also useful to those in antidepressant and painkiller withdrawal.  Users, ex-users, their families, friends, counsellors and health professionals regularly visit us. We are committed to providing responsible, accurate and current information and to increasing awareness of dependency issues and the repercussions. Most importantly, we aim to empower those experiencing withdrawal by giving them validation and support.

We support the premise that there is hope, that people do recover and are then able to function well in their everyday lives. The complexities of withdrawal and the challenges that some of you may be facing as you follow through with the decision to quit are fully understood. We are also aware that relatives and caregivers sometimes find it difficult to relate to or cope with the issues that arise when withdrawal is problematic, and so we know just how important it is for you to have additional support.

This site is filled with many useful resources including videos, downloadable information sheets and leaflets, a book store and podcasts. Our focus is on coping well, recovery, letting go and moving on. We welcome you to Recovery Road and hope that you will benefit greatly from your visits.
