Drugs Are Pleasurable but<br />
Drug Treatment is Miserable<br />
• Drug use is often reinforced in spite of harmful<br />
consequences by the drug’s pleasure-enhancing and<br />
affect-reducing effects on the brain and body.<br />
• Yet assisted cessation (treatment), unassisted<br />
cessation (‘cold turkey’) and longer-term recovery<br />
from drug misuse are typically miserable, painful<br />
processes, a time devoid of pleasure.
