Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal symptoms, and medical professionals in the inpatient detoxification facility would keep them safe.

There is not an exact protocol for each patient in detoxification, because of the unique differences that each person presents when entering the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise in good health may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while another person may require comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who need to take part in an actual drug and alcohol treatment facility once detoxification is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug treatment facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
