Inpatient detoxification is recommended when an individual is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Keene patients are closely checked for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. a person struggling with alcoholism for instance will need to be watched closely and likely administered certain prescription medications which would prevent delirium tremens and seizures.
