See below: The answer depends on what drug they are detoxing off of. I am assuming you mean off of opioids. Methadone would be another option. I have given patients Clonidine patches to help with the side efffects of withdrawl.

The kitchen sink: Suppose you mean from opiates/narcotics...Clonidine, ssri's, snri's, tca's, antiepileptics, antispasmodics, non-steroidals, non-bzd and rarely bzd sesative-hypnotics, atypical antipsychotics, vitamins and homeopathic remedies can all be tried. Some try low dose naltrexone. But medications alone are not the answer. Its a war, you send in all the branches. Medication is just one of them.
