Why cant people that are addicted to heroin or meth just start drinking while detoxing from those drugs and ease the withdrawal?
Actually it is very common for people addicted and physically dependent to a drug to use other substances to help with withdrawal symptoms. Methamphetamine does not really cause physical dependence so withdrawal is mostly psychological withdrawal. It is also important to understand that addiction, simply put is psychological dependence. Physical dependence (although common with many drugs of abuse) alone does not constitute addiction. In fact some drugs that can cause physical dependence are not addicted at all (eg., beta-blockers, prednisone). In some cases Heroin and other opioid withdrawal may be medically managed with medications like benzodiazepines which produce effects similar to alcohol. The problem is that simply detoxing it typically not enough to prevent an addict from relapsing. A combination of a proper medical detox and treatment for addiction and any other psychiatric disorders is needed for a person to have the best chance.
When does physical dependence on drug occure?
Depending on the drug, the dose used, and a number of other factors physical dependence may not occur at all although when it does occur it typically requires at least several weeks of continuious use for physical dependence to start to set in. Continuous use of opioids, corticosteroids, beta- blockers, and alcohol nearly always lead to physical dependence sooner or later. Other drugs like benzodiazepines, contrary to popular belief, actually only cause significant physical dependence in about 1/3 of long-term users (even as long as two or more years). However people that abuse benzodiazepines and similar drugs have a greater chance of becoming physically dependent. It should also be clear that physical dependence is not that same as addiction. Many drugs including corticosteroids are not drugs of abuse yet continuous use can cause physical dependence in a matter of days when taken in moderate to large doses. Addiction is psychological dependence however many addicts addicted to drugs that tend to cause physical dependence like opioids will also be physically dependent. However most people prescribed opioids for a legitimate needed for a protracted period do not become addicted but do become physically dependent.
