There are many other things to try out there. I know that the facility I went to tries to wean everyone off benzos. I had Ativan on admission, but was switched to Buspar. I'd only been prescribed the Ativan for a week, so no worry on withdrawal there. Buspar seems to work for me, at least for now. Trazodone is a lifesaver for sleep!
I hope that something can be found for you soon!
