Treatments are available for such symptoms, so an addict should coordinate his plans with a doctor or a clinic specializing in recovery from addiction.

Wish I knew!!: That's the "holy grail" of addiction medicine: how to make withdrawal more tolerable to allow people to actually stop using. Withdrawal symptoms are the absolute #1 reason people continue to use drugs. They prevent you from continuing with normal life so it creates a vicious cycle of continued drug use. No one chooses to feel bad if they don't have to feel bad.
