If you or someone you love is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, detox is often the first and most important step toward recovery. Detox, or detoxification, is the process of allowing the body to safely eliminate drugs, alcohol, and other harmful substances while managing withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision.
At Hickory House Recovery, our medically supervised detox program provides a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment where individuals can begin healing with the guidance of experienced medical professionals. Detox is not a cure for addiction, but it creates the foundation for successful, long-term recovery.
If you are struggling with substance use, or know someone who is, please call 317-947-6400. We can help.

Although detox removes substances from the body, it does not address the underlying causes of addiction. Long-term recovery typically includes continued treatment that helps individuals develop healthy coping skills, address emotional challenges, and build a strong support system.
Following detox, many individuals benefit from residential addiction treatment, therapy, relapse prevention planning, family support, and aftercare services.
Continuing treatment after detox significantly improves the likelihood of maintaining long-term sobriety.
