Sleeping pill addiction can begin with a simple need for rest, but can quickly grow into dependence. Many prescription sleep aids, such as Ambien, Lunesta, or Sonata, alter brain chemistry and make it difficult to sleep without them. At Sacred Journey, our addiction recovery programs provide specialized treatment for men struggling with sleeping pill addiction. Our evidence-based therapies and experiential programs help clients regain healthy sleep patterns, rebuild emotional balance, and recover their overall well-being.




Sleeping pill addiction often develops gradually. These medications work by slowing brain activity, promoting calm and drowsiness. Over time, the body adapts to its effects, making it hard to sleep naturally. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports that long-term use can lead to cognitive issues, emotional instability, and dependence.
