An individual who is otherwise in good health may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while a different patient may need intensive oversight and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for clients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation center once detoxification is finished.
