The nightmare that is detox. Gabriel, 15-years-old detoxing
from an overdose of pills in the Webb County Juvenile Detention
Center. The first three days of withdrawal from drugs are a
living nightmare: The user experiences deep anxiety and
physical and emotional pain. He should be in a treatment facility, but in juvenile detention there is only an empty cell. His body writhing on a concrete floor It is a cold and traumatic ordeal.
