The Vicious Cycle of Heroin Addiction

Heroin is one of the most addictive substances on the planet. Almost one quarter of people who try it become hooked. An opioid derived from morphine, heroin enters the human brain quickly. There it reverts back into morphine and provides a powerful high. It begins with a sudden rush of euphoria. The skin flushes. The mouth turns dry. The arms and legs become heavy. The brain turns off. Worries disappear. Before long, helplessness follows.

Heroin addiction is a chronic disease. The habit develops quickly and fiercely. By altering the brain, the synthetic opioid creates a vicious cycle of dependency. All too often it sneaks up on victims before they have a chance to defend themselves from the physical, mental, and emotional onslaught. Liberation doesn’t come easily, particularly since heroin withdrawals can be debilitating and traumatizing.

The Growing Need for Effective Heroin Treatment

Recent decades have seen the long-existing heroin problem turn into an epidemic. There are many theories for the surge in heroin use. One culprit is the alarming rise in prescription drug abuse. In many cases, opiate addiction begins with prescription painkillers and then progresses to heroin as the person seeks a more powerful and less expensive high.
