Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described (chills, cramps, and diarrhea) are typical symptoms of opioid withdrawal. Withdrawal occurs when someone who has become physically dependent on a drug stops using it or reduces their dosage, and their body experiences a range of physical and psychological symptoms as a result. None of the other terms offered (tolerance, dependence, addiction) specifically describe Terry's experience of opioid withdrawal.
