Should I do drugs for coping during redpill-detoxing or anykind of cult/religion-detoxing cuz I can't feel happiness.

You're describing anhedonia. I get bouts of it too. But you know which group gets the worst anhedonia? Recovering addicts. I know several of them, and they said that, when they begin the withdrawal process, they can't feel a thing, no emotions. I got this to a much lesser degree while getting off nicotine, but it was still there. So, no, don't turn to drugs. That doesn't seem like the healthiest answer.

I think you should never do drugs, because you will end in addiction. Only thing that is not so bad is alchohol.

This is just my personal thoughts, I have no authority or credibility. I'm just a sock. ;)
Happiness, afaik, is a triggered response from stimuli or situation which invites you to happiness. Everything else is opiate or placebo.
To which, I would recommend you stay sober right now. Work through it. Find the cognitive dissonance in your mind, write it out.
Cognitive Belief You Do Not Want <> Cognitive Belief You Do Want
And then the idea of what you believe it would take to change your own mind.

Example:
All Women can be moved to Individuals are not All. Begin ID'ing the Trees from the Forest. Much less the critters and plants that live in the Forest that are not trees. Breaking down and adjusting your existing beliefs so that you can see clearer in the haze of generalizations. Then working more nuance into your recovery. From there you can find happiness in those moments of clarity and forgiveness.
