Heroin is an opioid class drug of abuse that has a long history of addiction all over the world. It’s an extremely dangerous drug of abuse capable of producing a lethal overdose at any time by the smallest of miscalculations. As heroin is often diluted, or “cut” with other substances, a user is completely unaware of the amount of pure heroin in what they’re using. Heroin not only produces pleasure, it impacts breathing and can halt it. At different times, heroin has been considered a cheap high. Nowadays, with people flocking to prescription drugs, usually opioids, shortages in the supply of opioids meds have people turning to heroin in record numbers.
Heroin produces a feeling of deep relaxation, a sense of well-being, and euphoria. Heroin is no longer considered a stigmatic drug of abuse. Heroin is attractive to people who have legitimate pain issues who are unable to get relief from other opioids. It has a powerful ability to decrease—or even halt—the brain’s ability to feel pain. Heroin abuse and addiction has a bad rep, and deservedly so.

People do try to kick heroin on their own, and it is possible. The withdrawal is agonizing and can easily be fatal. To ensure a safe withdrawal, inpatient detoxification is the way to go. There one can receive medical care that eases a person down from heroin and ensures a safe transition into an inpatient residential care facility.
Without ongoing treatment to address the causes of each individual's addiction problems, detox alone is just setting up a relapse. Effective treatment of heroin addiction is possible, and many people get clean every year. Once one is cleared from detox, a thorough assessment will take place to make sure that the appropriate levels of care are made available. Group and individual therapy are a big part of recovery from heroin addiction. As well, a rehab center will work to make sure that a strong recovery support system is present for the recovery addict once they leave treatment.
A heroin rehab facility can really bring all the pieces of the recovery puzzle together for a person suffering from addiction. It’s the best path to get back into life as a healthy, happy person.
