Heroin
Addiction, Detox and Treatment
Heroin
addiction is a chronic disease and is never
a primary condition. It is financially distressing and injurious
to relationships, families, and at work. It often leads
to making contact with the criminal world, crime and to
poverty, serious health problems, & imprisonment.
Heroin, an opium poppy
product is usually white or brown powder. It is a very strong
medicine having terrible side effects. It reduces physical
pain and anxiety or suffering. However, the side effects
for all time far outweigh benefits and cause much more pain.
Snorting or injecting heroin may give the greatest intensity
and most speedy onset of elation, providing the strength
to do things that otherwise cannot be done. Following this
short euphoria, it makes one feel heavy and drowsy for several
hours. As Heroin rapidly enters the brain, it is converted
to morphine and bound to opioid receptors making it particularly
addictive.
Heroin Abusers become physically dependant and develop
an urge for higher dosage with regular intake of heroin.
Underlying the pre-existing factors, Heroin users are at
threat of overdose or death. With Heroin Abuse, Cardiac
functions slow down; breathing problems occur, and withdrawal
symptoms, a common indication for all drug abusers sometimes
leads to the point of death. Heroin also poses special problems
because of the transmission of HIV and other diseases that
can occur from sharing needles or other injection equipment.
There are varieties of treatment methods available to overcome
heroin dependence.
Heroin detox alone are not sufficient to reverse heroin
dependence; therefore, heroin abusers are subsequently advised
to undergo long-term medication. Treatments vary with individual.
Detoxification followed by long-term treatment is an effective
method of relieving withdrawal symptoms while patients adjust
to a drug-free state. Ibogaine, a useful substance taken
from the shrub Tabernanthe iboga, is used for opiate detoxification
and short-term stabilization of addicted individuals.
