Template:Proofread Addiction suppression can be described as the experience of a total or partial removal of a psychological addiction to a specific substance. This can occur as an effect which lasts long after the compound wears off or it can last only while it is still active. Addiction suppression is a rare component and is most commonly associated with psychedelics[1], psilocin[2], LSD[3] and ibiogaine[4] and N-Acetylcysteine.

In terms of psychedelics, this effect seems to be triggered by a combination of analysis enhancement, personal bias suppression and general introspection. However, NAC seems to have a more direct effect that occurs as a result of its action on glutaminergic and dopaminergic pathways which is thought to reverse brain functions which have become disturbed by heavy drug addiction.[5]
