I think the answer to your question is that people who avoid drugs understand that drugs do not fix anything permanently, in 99% of cases. They only treat symptoms. The people who avoid drugs attempt to treat the underlying problems.

of course it’s not always practical. For example, some skinny people are simply genetically predisposed to high blood pressure, even if they work out and eat pretty healthy. It’s rare, but these things happen.
