In March and April 2006, Dr. Ashton gave lectures on Benzodiazepine Dependence and Withdrawal Methods to heath care providers in Victoria and Vancouver, B.C. She also addressed physicians at an addictions conference at Parksville, B.C.

I'm aware the example she gives here for the rate of benzo withdrawal is ultra-conservative, but bear in mind she's being generous to sensitive souls by educating doctors who might otherwise force their patients onto a taper schedule that's much harsher than they can tolerate. As she says here, the withdrawal may take weeks, months or even years and should be individually tailored to the patient's needs.
