Heroin addiction falls
under the heading of opiate addiction, which is the second leading addiction in
our society; following alcohol addiction. Heroin is noted for having the
highest euphoria potential of all opiates and is, therefore, prone to cause
psychological addiction even if the user were to not become physically
addicted. Addiction is defined as a state of physiological or psychological
dependence on a drug liable to have a damaging effect.
The withdrawal
symptoms associated with heroin addiction are usually experienced shortly
before the time of the next scheduled dose, meaning at the time that the last
dose has been metabolized and is no longer binding to the pleasure receptor
sites in the brain. Early symptoms include watery eyes, runny nose, yawning,
and sweating. Restlessness, irritability, loss of appetite, nausea, tremors,
and the craving for heroin appear as the syndrome progresses and soon occupies
the entire attention of the withdrawing person. Severe depression and vomiting
are common. The heart rate and blood pressure are elevated. Chills alternating
with flushing and excessive sweating are also characteristic symptoms. Pains in
the bones and muscles of the back and extremities occur, as do muscle spasms.
At any point during this process, a suitable narcotic can be administered that
will dramatically reverse the withdrawal symptoms. Without some type of
intervention, the syndrome will run its course, and most of the overt physical
symptoms will disappear within 7 to 10 days. If you picture being very sick at
your stomach and experience the symptoms of the most severe flu you could
imagine, and knowing that if you have one dose of heroin, all of these symptoms
will disappear and you will feel absolutely normal again, then you can
understand how people that suffer from heroin addiction can do many things that
would violate their values in order to secure that next fix.
The
psychological dependence associated with narcotic addiction is complex and may
last for years after addictive use. Long after the physical need for the drug
has passed, the addict may continue to think and talk about the use of drugs
and feel strange or overwhelmed coping with daily activities without being
under the influence of drugs. This does not necessary have to be the case if
someone that has been suffering from heroin addiction were to find a reliable
treatment setting where the entire addiction is confronted and handled. If not,
there is a high probability that relapse will occur after narcotic withdrawal
when neither the physical environment nor the behavioral motivators that
contributed to the abuse have been altered. |
