Summary
This study tested a brief cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program to help older adults (55+) safely reduce or stop taking benzodiazepines, which are often used for sleep or anxiety but can be risky with age. Seventeen participants received up to three CBT sessions alongside their usual care. The goal was to see if the program was practical and helpful, measuring changes in medication use, sleep quality, and anxiety levels.
