Inpatient detoxification is essential when an individual is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification facility in Cherry Hill individuals can be closely monitored for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal that could cause health risks or even death in more severe instances.
