Comment:
When someone is this intoxicated, if they are not sedated when put into detox, the can end up with serious withdrawl complications - and at this level, they withdrawl complications could be risky enough to be fatal in their own right.

Safer course of care in this incident is to sedate them, where you take over vital control of the body (such as putting them on a ventillator) to breathe for them so they don't "lose" the will to breathe.

Scary on many fronts.
