Understanding the Detox Process
February 1, 2025
A Safe Start to Your Recovery Journey
Detoxification, or detox, is often the first step in addiction recovery. At Center for Change, we provide medically supervised detox to ensure safety and comfort as the body rids itself of substances. Detox can help manage withdrawal symptoms, preparing individuals for the next stages of treatment.
Our team monitors clients 24/7 to ensure they’re safe and supported. While detox can be challenging, medical supervision can ease the process and reduce discomfort. After detox, clients are ready to engage in therapies that support long-term recovery.
Detox is a crucial starting point in recovery. Center for Change offers compassionate, medically supervised detox to help individuals begin their journey safely.
Addiction can be challenging to recognize, especially when individuals or their loved ones are hesitant to face the reality of substance use. Knowing when to seek help is crucial to begin the path to recovery. Common signs include increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, neglecting responsibilities, changes in behavior, and a loss of control over substance use.
Family support is a powerful tool in addiction recovery, providing a foundation of understanding, encouragement, and accountability. At Center for Change, we recognize the critical role families play in the healing process. Family members can offer emotional support, help create a stable home environment, and be involved in therapy sessions to foster communication and trust.
Taking the first step toward addiction recovery can be overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure what to expect in your initial therapy session. At Center for Change in Wichita, KS, we make the experience as welcoming and comfortable as possible. During your first session, a licensed therapist will get to know you by asking about your history, challenges, and goals.
