The full how-to guide covers:
How Heroin Impacts the Body – Heroin works by activating the mu-opioid receptors in the brain. Our bodies naturally produce chemicals here that work as neurotransmitters that help to regulate pain, release hormones and create a general sense of wellbeing. Naturally, these receptors create natural levels of dopamine in the body which produce the sense of pleasure. With Heroin, the individual experience a similar sense. Those struggling with heroin addiction often begin seeking out pain medication to curb them between their heroin use. This includes Vicodin, Oxycontin and Demerol. The reason is that these medications often give a similar experience.
Results of Chronic Heroin Use – Heroin is crated from morphine, a substance that is naturally found in the poppy plant. This substance is identifiable as it is often a whitish or brownish powder. Pure heroin isn’t commonly sold. Instead, it is cut with things like powdered milk, starch or sugars. The substance is very bitter and is smoked or snorted. A “black tar” version is also available. This is caused by crude processing that leaves behind the leaves.
Treatment for Heroin Use – Pharmacological treatment is one of the most common treatment types for heroin abuse. Medication used during the detoxification process, helps to alleviate the most common symptoms experienced. After detoxification, cognitive behavioral therapy is commonly used to help further improve the success of treatment. Since medications are highly addictive, their use is carefully monitored at treatment facilities. The goal is to help a patient cease usage of heroin. The most commonly used medications include: •Methadone – This substance is taken orally and impacts the brain slowly. This approach helps to alleviate the symptoms of withdrawal, without causing a person to receive the high. It must be administered daily, but has proven an effective treatment solution for heroin since 1960. •Buprenorphine reduces the cravings a person has for heroin, while preventing a “high” from being experienced. Taken orally, it also designed to deliver withdrawal symptoms if a person attempts to inject it.
When asked about the reasons behind creating this heroin treatment guide, Tom Mack, Director of Rehab Treatment Success Fort Worth said,
“Heroin is an opioid that is incredibly addictive. Most individuals are addicted to this substance as a single use and recovery is often a difficult road.”
