What is Heroin Addiction?

Like the pharmaceutical drugs oxycodone, hydrocodone, and morphine, heroin is an opioid substance. However, heroin is prohibited in all forms. It can appear as a black tar-like substance, white or brown powder, or both. Heroin can be consumed in a variety of methods, including smoking, snorting, sniffing, and injecting. Sometimes heroin and cocaine are combined to achieve the process known as speedballing. Additionally, heroin is a very potent opioid. Once it enters your body, it will become pure morphine. It is the reason why it impacts the human body strongly and immediately. Continuous use of heroin alters brain structure and functions. These changes create long-term imbalances in neurons and hormonal systems. Brain changes from heroin are not easy to reverse. If you or your loved one suffers from fentanyl addiction, do not hesitate to call us and start your recovery journey.
