Treating Heroin Addiction
Heroin can become addictive after one use and lead to death. An illegal and powerful opioid, heroin is a drug derived from morphine and is sometimes seen as an alternative to prescription opioids such as Percocet and OxyContin.
Heroin addiction can be treated, and professional care can help individuals addicted to the drug recover and move forward.
Heroin Use and Addiction
Heroin addiction is a serious condition. Effective addiction rehab can help individuals enjoy freedom from addiction and access tools to move toward lasting sobriety.

Short-term side effects
Decreased heart rate, dizziness, headache, compromised mental function, itchiness, nausea, vomiting, and slowed breathing are among the short-term side effects that can be caused by heroin addiction.

Considerations
