Understanding Heroin
Addiction

Heroin addiction is a complex, chronic disorder that significantly impacts an individual’s physical and psychological health. Heroin, an opioid drug derived from morphine, interacts with the brain’s opioid receptors to produce intense feelings of euphoria and relaxation. However, repeated use leads to tolerance, dependence, and addiction.

The Nature of Heroin Addiction

  • Physical Dependence: Over time, the body adapts to the presence of heroin, leading to physical dependence. When heroin use is reduced or stopped, the body reacts with withdrawal symptoms.
  • Psychological Dependence: Heroin alters the brain’s chemistry, particularly the reward system, reinforcing the need to continue using the drug despite harmful consequences.
  • Behavioral Changes: Addiction often leads to significant changes in behavior, including compulsive drug seeking, neglect of responsibilities, and social isolation.
