What is Heroin?

Heroin is a semi-synthetic opiate. Opiates are soporific drugs that are normally administered in one of three ways; smoked, snorted or injected. Heroin is a very powerful derivative of the natural opiate morphine which is harvested as a milky white resin that flows from the bulbs of the papaver somniferum poppy. Heroin addicts use opiates to escape or alter reality. The allure is extremely powerful and tends to cause physical dependency in less than 60-days of semi-continuous use.

Heroin Addiction

Most heroin users develop addiction in one of two ways.

1. Heroin addiction begins as a result of an escalation of substance use over many years that begin during childhood usually starting with cigarettes, marijuana or alcohol. The exact formula that creates addiction in people is quite complex but generally can be linked to lifestyle choices that began in early adolescence.
2. As part of a pain management treatment program directed by a physician that escalates over a period of years from simple opioid dependence to psychological opioid dependence. As soon as the change from physical to psychological dependence happens an opiate user seeks out more powerful opiates. Heroin is considered to have the greatest euphoric effects because of its ability to cross the blood brain barrier faster than any other opiate. Therefore it is the opiate of choice for most opiate addicts.

Once our client develops healthy sleep patterns the sleep disorder treatments are methodically tapered to create more natural sleep patterns.

Diarrhea is probably the single most dangerous opiate withdrawal symptom because it causes dehydration. Diarrhea has the potential of - delaying recovery, compromising immune systems and exaggerating other opiate withdrawal symptoms. The Rapid Opiate Suboxone Detox Program eliminates opiate withdrawal initiated diarrhea in less than 24 hours after admission. The likelihood of a speedy recovery is improved dramatically when this one withdrawal symptom is treated properly.

Heroin Withdrawal Symptoms
