La méthode de sevrage diffère peu selon la drogue utilisée. À la réduction progressive des doses, on préfère aujourd'hui soit un sevrage brutal, avec le soutien d'anxiolytiques, d'analgésiques ou d'antidépresseurs, soit un sevrage progressif, mené à l'aide d'une substance de remplacement telle que la méthadone ou la buprénorphine. 3, record 1, French, - sevrage%20brutal

adicto al trabajo; trabajoadicto; laboradicto; trabajólico : La Fundación del Español Urgente(Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la voz inglesa [...] "workaholic" puede traducirse como "adicto al trabajo", y las voces "trabajoadicto" y "laboradicto", que se inscriben en el paradigma de términos ya asentados en español, como "drogadicto" o "sexoadicto", constituyen alternativas plenamente recomendables. Otras opciones, como el calco "trabajólico", resultan menos transparentes y, por tanto, menos adecuadas. 1, record 2, Spanish, - adicto%20al%20trabajo
