Heroin Withdrawal Treatment

What is Heroin?

Heroin is a powerful opiate that is derived from morphine, which is a derivative of the opium poppy. Some popular heroin street names are horse, black tar, skag, smack, chiva, “H”, “Boy”, among others.

Heroin relieves pain by binding to the opiate receptors in the brain, which communicate pain signals to the body. Heroin is commonly used as a recreational drug.

How Addictive is Heroin?

Heroin is a highly addictive substance making it extremely difficult to overcome an addiction to Heroin. Within a few weeks of consistently using Heroin, the body adjusts to the presence of the drug and develops a tolerance. As an addiction to Heroin increases, the body requires more and more Heroin to achieve the same effects.
