Heroin Addiction

With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘old turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.

There is help through treatment for addiction and by taking the first step forward you will discover that treatment for addiction is the only answer when help is needed for addiction.

Outpatient Drug Rehab and Addiction

When addiction strikes it's like an unstoppable train unless outpatient drug rehab is found. Addiction isn't something anyone ever plans on so when it happens it's usually not known by the addict until it's already a full blown addiction. Outpatient drug rehab can solve the addiction for the individual as long as help is gotten before it's to late.
