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.

Addiction Recovery and Chemical Dependence

There's a lot to be said for the men and women who have dedicated their lives to helping others overcome chemical dependence. These individuals work hard daily to help addicts recover and regain happiness in their lives and the lives of their families. Addiction recovery is one of the most rewarding jobs available today in the field of help. If you or someone you know is suffering from chemical dependence or any other addiction the best thing you can do for them is get involved and help them find addiction recovery.
