People usually explain it by saying that they are chemicals naturally produced by the body, so when you put more of those chemicals into yourself over a period of time your body stops producing it since you are already getting enough of it.
But what are the mechanisms involved? Once it is removed what is causing the withdrawals, any why does it hurt so much? Chemically what is happening here? I'm interested in the way the body is handling these changes, so any explaination is appreciated.
If you need a specific example, let's use the opiate class.
