Most heroin addicts do not start out shooting heroin; in fact, most will more than likely there first use of it will be snorting heroin. I am well aware that there are a lot of people who start using drugs because of peer pressure or for that matter just to be doing something exciting.
It starts out that way but the end results are catastrophic. For instance, a person starts out snorting heroin and in the beginning it is very intense and enjoyable then they build up a tolerance to heroin.
Then all the sudden one of their snorting buddies tells them that they are now injecting heroin and that taking it any other way is just wasting it. Well they are no longer getting the desired effect so they decided they are going to try shoot it. Next thing they know is their life has gone sideways on them. They are broke out in the streets every day trying to hustle up their next fix. They may have lost their job, their sense of self worth, and their family has kicked them to the curb.
There however is hope for them, society for the most part pictures heroin addicts as dirty scum ridden lot you would see lying in an alley somewhere. They also believe addicts are untrustworthy and can not hold a job. I know this to be misinformed information. Drug addicts can stop using, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live. This being said I will tell you know how to stop shooting dope.
How to stop shooing drugs
It’s not very likely that you are going to quit heroin without some help. I would suggest that if you are sick and tiered of being sick and tired then look into going to heroin treatment. If you go to treatment you can be medically detoxed from heroin without fear of heroin withdrawal. That’s right they will give you medications to help ease the pain of withdraw. If you go you will be taken care of by a medical staff who have trained extensively in this area. They will monitor your withdrawal symptoms and give you medication as needed. This process will take approximately 3 to 5 days.
I have to recommend that when you are finished detoxing that you continue on in residential treatment. There you will do things like attend lectures, watch recovery movies, attend 12 step meetings, and go to individual counseling. This is all to prepare you for when you reenter society. This will also give you a lot of information on how not to return to heroin shooting again.
I have went through many heroin rehabs and got out and used again but I am clean and sober today the reason I mention this that I do not want anyone to ever give up. I did not give up I kept coming back and it took me many many years to get clean but I did it with the help of God and other recovering addicts and you can do it too.
