While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Struthers individuals are closely observed for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone with alcoholism for instance may need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific medications that would prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may cause very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in the inpatient detoxification facility can keep them safe.
