About Our Medical Detox Program
Before beginning medical detox, we conduct a thorough assessment of each patient’s substance use, physical and mental health, and any co-occurring conditions. This allows us to create a tailored treatment plan.
At The Recovery Village Indianapolis, patients undergo detox in comfortable, private rooms with around-the-clock medical supervision. We provide medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms as needed, along with nutritious meals to support overall health. Additionally, patients may start individual counseling check-ins with their licensed therapist during this time.
WHAT WE OFFER
OUR PROCESS
What to Expect During the Detox Process
Due to the uniqueness of each patient, The Recovery Village prioritizes personalized care by meticulously tailoring all medical detox treatment plans to suit individual needs. Before starting the medical detox process, a member of our 24-hour nursing team engages with each new resident to gain a comprehensive understanding of their condition.
This initial assessment may encompass various components, including:
- Personalized assessment
- Drug and alcohol screening
- Co-occurring disorders evaluation
- Comprehensive medical assessment
- Psychological assessment
- Risk assessment
- Social assessment
Upon completion of this assessment, patients embark on the detoxification journey at our inpatient medical detox center. While the average duration of medical detox typically spans five to ten days, it’s crucial to acknowledge that each case is unique. For some, the process may extend longer, while for others, it may be shorter. Generally, it constitutes one of the most challenging phases of the recovery journey.
As detoxification commences, withdrawal symptoms and cravings for drugs or alcohol swiftly manifest. The intensity, duration, and diversity of these symptoms may vary for each individual, contingent upon factors such as the type and quantity of substances used, duration of addiction, family history, biochemistry, and presence of co-occurring conditions. Withdrawal symptoms range from mild inconveniences like headaches, mood fluctuations, and irritability to more severe manifestations such as tremors, vomiting, and muscle tension.
