What keeps a person from quitting drugs?
For a person addicted to drugs, be it alcohol, street drugs or medicine of some sort, the physical, emotional and mental pains and discomfort of withdrawal are often too much to bear and prevent the person from quitting the drug. Some people stop taking drugs, but later relapse. Drug residues remain in the body after use. They can be released during periods of stress and physical exercise, resulting in the former user getting a little “taste” of the drug. The result: the person gets a craving to take that drug, and so they relapse. Find out more about drug withdrawal.
