Heroin, derived from the seed pod of the opium poppy plant, is a highly potent and illegal opioid that is typically seen in various forms such as white or brown powder, or a black, sticky substance known as black tar heroin. It is known for its ability to induce feelings of euphoria and pleasure, providing a “rush” that is often sought after by individuals who use it.
Heroin can be injected, inhaled, or smoked, each method delivering the drug rapidly into the brain, which contributes to its high potential for addiction. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) provides a comprehensive overview of what heroin is and its effects on the brain and body.
Our team at Encino understands the challenges in fighting heroin addiction. Recognizing the symptoms of heroin abuse is important. Some common symptoms include:
Heroin interacts with opioid receptors in the brain, influencing areas responsible for feelings of pain and pleasure, as well as controlling heart rate, sleeping, and breathing. The initial euphoria is often followed by a “heavy” feeling, where users may experience clouded mental function and alternating states of wakefulness and drowsiness.
The rapid development of tolerance necessitates increasing dosages to achieve the desired effects, thereby accelerating the pathway towards dependence and, eventually, addiction.
