If A Habitual User Of Cocaine Found Himself In...

... police custody would there be a doctor on call if he lapsed into withdrawal symptoms?

Of course, thats assuming there are such symptoms after an abrupt stop.

Yes, it would be part of the risk assessment carried out when a person is detained

My local custody suite has round the clock nurses on duty 24/7.

Presumebly a doctor would be on call as well.

Last time that I was a 'guest' I had to be medicated 3 times for alcohol withdrawal until I was charged and bailed.

Poor Stephen Waxy-Lemon, I'll mention him in my prayers tonight.

How's things, Nailedit, all good, I hope.

Grumpiness and hunger are seldom fatal, I'm sure fiends will be fine if they allow equilibrium to return.
