Answer: Withdrawal

Step-by-step explanation:

Withdrawal is the first step in drug deaddiction. In this the person is removed from habitual intake of the drug and the withdrawal symptoms are monitored and treatment for them is provided as the body reacts when it does not receive the habitual and routine dose of the drug to experience the same effect it used to experience while consuming the drug. These symptoms are indicative of dependence upon a drug. Person should be instructed to remain hydrated, must remain stick to the sleeping schedule, take proper diet, medications can be provided to counteract the effect of drug and also have the same effect but does not develop psychological and physical dependence, meditation and yoga are some of the treatments that can aid in overcoming the withdrawal symptoms.
