What happens to someone who stops drugs when they are addicted to them?

This is a tough answer. The first thing to consider would be whether the drug are physically addictive or psychologically addictive. If they are only psychologically addictive, they will most commonly experience agitation and "fiending" (longing for the drugs). If it's physically addictive, the user may experience a wide range of things. Opiates are the most used physically addictive drugs, and many who quit cold turkey get cold sweats, fevers, body aches and other flu-like symptoms. It can actually be quite danergous to suddenly stop doing physically addictive drugs after heavy use.
