Provide an explanation of drug withdrawal.
Drug withdrawal refers to the set of symptoms that occur when a person abruptly stops using an addictive substance. It happens because the brain and body have become dependent and adapted to the constant presence of the drug, and suddenly taking it away creates a shock to the system. Withdrawal symptoms can vary depending on the specific drug, but they can include nausea, vomiting, insomnia, agitation, anxiety, muscle aches, sweating, and even seizures or death in severe cases. The severity and duration of symptoms can also depend on numerous factors, such as the duration and frequency of drug use, the dose, and the individual's overall health. Withdrawal symptoms can be challenging to manage, which is why medical supervision is often necessary to help people safely detox from addictive drugs.

B. Stimulants.
C. Depressants.
D. Over-the-counter.
