Why in drug rehab, do doctors use drugs to kick the addiction? How does it work?
In: 4
they’re used to stabilize an individual who may be going through painful physical or mental withdrawal (withdrawal from benzos, alc and opioids can actually lead to death). introducing a drug in small doses can aid the person to sobriety rather than letting them feel all of the symptoms of withdrawal which can lead to relapse. buprenorphine is an opioid antagonist used to treat opioid addiction…it’s still an opioid but a very small dosage which will make the person going through withdrawal feel less intense symptoms. like others have said, drugs used to aid in withdrawal/addiction are monitored by a doctor and taken with counseling and therapy.
