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.
