Heroine addiction is one of the most widespread social problems in the world today. Heroin is an opiate derivative that is most commonly delivered through an injection, but may be introduced to the body in several other ways. In recent years, it has been noted that it is also sniffed or in other word snorted or very recently smoking heroin has become popular with our youth.
This is most likely due to the fear of contracting H.I.V or of injecting heroin as opposed to other risks such as septicemia. Heroin is one of the most commonly abused drugs due to the fact that the effects of intoxication are felt almost immediately. The user will experience a false sense of euphoria that can last from as little as several minutes up to several hours. Abusers of this drug may appear drowsy or lethargic in nature to the addict this is called nodding.
When I was using heroin many years ago this is how we gauged how good the dope was if you did not get a nod and start getting the urge to scratch you nuts the dope was no good.
Heroin is a highly addictive drug, both physically and psychologically. Heroine dependency typically starts off with the psychological dependency, with the user simply trying to escape into a temporary bliss. The drug dramatically slows the rate of respiration and the heart beat rate. New users are more prone to experiencing an overdose, as their bodies have not yet built up a tolerance.
The symptoms of heroine withdrawal may manifest within a matter of hours from the last delivered dose. Heroin withdrawal symptoms are described as painful with fits of anxiety, restlessness, and symptoms similar to the flu. It is recommended that a person experiencing heroin withdrawal to do so with medical assistance.
