Why can’t we put people who are struggling with addiction in a coma for the physical withdrawal symptoms?
I know that they still have to go through the mental aspect of coming clean, but can’t we lessen the suffering by putting them in a coma for 30 days until everything is out of their system? From my understanding, it takes 21 days to make or break a habit.

It’s easier and safer to ween someone off slowly from their drug of choice to avoid drug withdrawals. Doctors can prescribe Methadone to ween patients off of opiates like heroin and benzodiazepines for alcohol. Addiction is a neuropsychological disease that doesn’t go away after 21 days or once you are clean.
