An individual who is basically in good health may be in detox for 4 or 5 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while a different person may need comprehensive oversight and intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Health safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is complete.
