From your posting to this forum comes, that every jailhouse detox means cold turkey - is it what they usually treat users in all U.S.? Or just depends on what kind of the states, what region/theritory/area(?) and on the individual law of the state?
In Poland we have very bad drug-law, (they still want to realize the War on Drugs in "american style"), our cops are weird also, but in practice, (related to what I have read here, in the forum) does it look not so bad. The cops are really awfull, so you must be preparing for the worst in first two days in police-arrest after you getting busted, before you landing in jail. But some of the jailhouse doctors are quite flexible and if you really sick they don't let you stay cold turkey, maybe because they're afraid if something bad happens they will be responsible, and because of the other prisoners that getting angry when someone's howling at the night, and like that.
I know the jailhose dtx, it was very bad experience, but as I noticed before the worst was the time in police arrest, till they fullfilling all this papers etc.
So my question is: is it in U.S. forbidden to help pharmaceutically (prescribes some benzos or painkillers) to someone who suffers on wds in jail?
