eli5 why can you not just go into a medically-induced coma to avoid the symptoms of withdrawal?
In: 1430
You can (in some countries), it’s just dangerous and expensive. Medically induced comas are generally a last resort and used for life threatening conditions, where the risk of complication from the coma is outweighed by the benefits. Jordan Peterson, for example, went into a medically induced coma for his benzodiazepine addiction; but this was done in some Russian clinic.
