There isn't an exact protocol for each individual in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when entering the detoxification facility. An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different person may need to have intensive supervision and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the utmost concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse recovery program once detox is complete. Many detox facilities collaborate with drug rehabilitation facilities to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for recovering addicts.
