What is Heroin?

Heroin is a highly addictive and illegal opioid drug derived from morphine, which is naturally found in certain varieties of poppy plants. It is typically sold as a white or brown powder or as a sticky substance known as "black tar heroin." Heroin works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, which results in a powerful euphoric effect. However, its use carries a high risk of addiction, overdose, and various health complications.

Common signs of heroin abuse and addiction include:

  • Drowsiness or "nodding off"
  • Constricted (pinned) pupils
  • Slurred speech
  • Slow or shallow breathing
  • Weight loss
  • Needle marks ("track marks")
  • Itching and skin picking
  • Frequent nausea or vomiting
  • Secretive or withdrawn behavior
  • Lying or manipulating to get money
  • Neglecting responsibilities
  • Drug paraphernalia
  • Risky behavior
  • Mood swings
  • Anxiety or agitation
  • Lack of motivation
  • Depression
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Restlessness and insomnia
  • Intense cravings
  • Diarrhea and vomiting

Heroin Withdrawal & Detox Support

Withdrawal from heroin can be a challenging and uncomfortable process due to the physical and psychological dependence that can develop with regular use. The severity and duration of withdrawal symptoms can vary based on factors such as the length of use, dosage, and individual physiology.

Here are the common withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin:

  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Muscle and bone pain
  • Gastrointestinal distress:
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Dilated pupils
  • Increased heart rate and blood pressure:
  • Tremors and shaking
  • Intense cravings
  • Anxiety and agitation
  • Depression
  • Mood swings
  • Cognitive impairment

Withdrawal symptoms can begin as early as 6 to 12 hours after the last dose. Symptoms typically peak within 1 to 3 days. Physical symptoms may last about a week, while psychological symptoms can persist for weeks or even months.

Detoxification is a critical first step in overcoming heroin addiction since withdrawal can be one of the most challenging aspects of heroin recovery. Our heroin detox programs ensure a safe and medically supervised withdrawal process. 

We support patients through the withdrawal process with:

  • 24/7 medical supervision and support
  • Medication-assisted treatment to alleviate withdrawal symptoms
  • Emotional and psychological support
  • Preparation for subsequent addiction treatment phases
