I overheard my mom and my aunt talking and they said my older brother is in withdrawal. What does that mean?

He is coming off drugs or alcohol. He needs care and support as this time as he’ll be feeling pretty bad, like having a really bad vomiting bug or flu.

Your brother has likely developed an addiction to some kind of substance – legal or illegal, and he’s trying to come off it. This means that he’s going to be sick for a few days, maybe over a week but then he’ll feel better.
