Some people drink loads of coffee for years, some smoke tobacco, some drink alcohol, some take illegal drugs, some are hooked on sugar, some hooked on legal opiods.
No matter what anybodys fix is the detox is brutal. First days you have extreme cravings that drive you absolutely mad, you feel paranoid, scared, aggressive, agitated , then after a week you feel constantly exhausted and extremely lethargic and also at times paranoid etc. During the lethargic period you get intervalls of cravings where you mind is saying just take one more of what ever thing you are addicted to and only will power can stop you from "taking one last hit".
Then when the cravings nolonger occur regularly you discover that you are actually fucking bored (and fucking exhausted to actually do anything about it). The reason you were hooked on whatever was because it helped with your copes whatever your copes are and now you have to build a whole new structure of life and copes. But the reason for the addiction was because you had nothing before that anyway.
Anyway detox is a hell and better to do it all the way to completion because some people spend years or a lifetime getting clean then going back to their old ways. A life of constant paranoia, exhaustiton, agitation, addiction and the health effects etc etc. Its a fuck up either you go all in and all the way including building a new life or you just say fuck it and stick to the old ways till death , no other 2 ways about it, these are the only options.
