I hate Addiction in Rimworld so much

So I have this colonist that started with smokeleaf addiction and second stage pregnancy, I couldn't start treating the addiction because withdrawal would incapacitate them so I've had to wait until after to start treating them and it's been like 6-8 days and they just had a drug binge mental break and I just lost about 2 weeks of progress in the space of 2 minutes. Addiction should not be so debilitating and so hard and frustrating to deal with I get the balancing and game texture reasons but it sucks so much
