What is heroin and what are its effects?

by CC Adicciones

Heroin, one of the most harmful drugs, and its consequences.

The heroin is a recreational opioid derived from morphine. Its use is associated with tolerance and strong physical dependence, making it one of the most harmful drugs for the body.

The consumption of this substance creates a feeling of euphoria and well-being that occurs instantly.

Adverse effects of heroin

These begin after 3 or 4 hours, as the concentration of heroin in the blood decreases.

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Sweating and fever
  • Joint pain
  • Lung problems
  • Cardiac arrhythmias
  • Depression

Heroin is a substance closely connected to pleasure centers. For this reason, the feeling of euphoria increases the dependence of the person who consumes it. And, over time, the brain begins to demand the drug above any other activity that produced pleasure. Therefore, it is in this state that the user ends up prioritizing the consumption of the substance over family, work, and even physical and emotional well-being.

In addition, the process of quitting this substance is very complicated; it is essential to seek the help of professionals who can assist the patient in overcoming their pathology during detoxification and rehabilitation phases to reconnect with their life and environment.
