A person who is basically physically and mentally healthy may go through detox for 4 or 5 days and be released without much intervention, while another person may require comprehensive supervision and medical intervention for a couple weeks. Health safety is of the utmost concern, and also a transition to treatment for patients who should to attend an actual substance abuse treatment program once detox is complete.
