I've worked in detox's before but never a jail/prison setting I wanted to get some insight on how the system works in Massachusetts.- I've tried to research this but can't find an answer, if,- (for EX,) an inmate is prescribed Xanax BEFORE incarcerated. Would he be prescribed that in jail?- one thread I found (didn't say state) said that the jail would use one type of benzo in every case- just adjust the mg according to patient/inmate.- but to me this doesn't seem helpful or ethical. If there is an inmate who is diagnosed w GAD. & panic attacks etc. & (before)incarceration is on klonopin or Xanax. & another inmate is prescribed Valium prn. For sleep- & let's just say the jail's "ONLY" benzo is Librium, it could work for inmate #2- but inmate #1 is going to suffer - both Benzo but completely diff. If ANY1 has knowledge thoughts or opinions, please share.
