'''Addiction suppression''' can be described as the experience of a total or partial suppression of a psychological addiction to a specific substance and the cravings associated with it. This can occur as an effect which lasts long after the compound which induced it wears off or it can last only while the compound is still active.

===Analysis===

In terms of psychedelics, this effect seems to be primarily triggered by the psychological self-reflection that can manifest through a combination of effects. These primarily include [[analysis enhancement]], [[personal bias suppression]], and [[introspection]]. The intensity and effectiveness of this experience occurring under the influence of a psychedelic is unpredictable and depends on a variety of factors such as [[dosage]], [[setting]], [[Responsible drug use#State of mind|state of mind]], and a general willingness to change.
