Addiction to Xanax

Does anyone know of specialist groups who deal solely with prescription medication addiction? I am also addicted to Dihydrocodeine. When I talk to my GP he just sends me to Talking Therapies who do try to help.

Heroin addicts get methadone. What can a person like myself expect to be prescribed to help me off my habits? It's ruling my life and I feel like self-harming or worse as I feel so lonely with no chance of help. Thank you for reading.
