anti-drug campaign
This is the text for an anti-drugs radio spot, UK English.
The title is "Abtörn" and the first spoken sentence in the spot is "Abtörn ist Runter kommen -- bis die Droge raus ist aus der Blutbahn und dem Nervensystem".
Ok, so Abtörn is coming down, but is there another word/noun (best would be in teenage slang) for it that I can use in this sentence (i.e. "X means coming down ..." ??
Any help much appreciated.

German term (edited):
Abt�rn
Coming down
I would phrase it as: "Coming down means just that - coming down - until ...".
I think this would work very well in a spoken word text.
