Answer by destiny s
Medications are needed for some addictions because these help with the treatment process. They help ease withdrawal symptoms, which can happen when the patient stops taking in drugs or alcohol. Medications also help in restoring the patient’s brain functioning back to normal. It also lessens a patient’s chances of relapse by interfering with triggers so as to help the patient sustain recovery.
