Not as detailed or scientific as some explanations, but it is a false escape. Sure, while you are drunk/high you are not concerned with your problems, but those problems don’t cease to exist and simply fester while you engage in escapism.
Think of it like sitting on a boat taking on water, you can bail or you can try to pretend you are not taking on water to put off the bailing. If you do, you still have all the original water to bail as well as whatever seeped in while you were avoiding the task.
