Benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that could cause very similar withdrawal symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification center can ensure their safety.

There isn't an exact protocol for each client in detox, because of the unique differences that each patient presents when arriving to detox. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much intervention, while another patient may require comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is finished.
