There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each patient exhibits when arriving to detox. Someone who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 3 or 4 days and be released without much medical intervention, while another patient may require intensive supervision and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Safety is of the greatest concern, as well as a transition to a rehabilitation facility for clients who should to attend an actual drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility once detoxification is finished.
