Public Policy Statement on Access to Appropriate Detoxification Services for Persons Incarcerated in Prisons and Jails
Individuals brought into custody by criminal justice authorities should receive appropriate general medical screening to assure that their medical needs will not go unaddressed during their incarceration. The circumstance of being under arrest, detained, jailed, or imprisoned should not preclude access to and provision of medically necessary treatment for alcohol and other drug withdrawal.
