A five month study was undertaken to evaluate the role played by a clinically trained pharmacist on a polydrug detoxification unit. A total of 69 patients were included in the study. Four parameters were investigated in the evaluation. These sought to document the pharmacist's ability to: (1) evaluate degree of dependence; (2) develop, monitor and adjust detoxification protocols; (3) monitor and treat general medical needs; and (4) educate patients in the area of drug abuse. Based on the results of this investigation, it is concluded that a clinically trained pharmacist can be a beneficial addition to such a detoxification unit.
