Treat the underlying reasons for the drug seeking behavior and then one won't want nor need these drugs to have a happy productive life.

a depressant doesnt actually mean that it makes you psychologically depressant, it is called a depressant because it depresses the central nervous system (the opposite of what a stimulant does). of course, some people get depressed while drinking, but the term depressant is often misused, it does not mean that it causes depression.
