Heroin addiction
Heroin is one of the most addictive substances. Fortunately, the number of heroin users in the Netherlands is declining. This does not mean that heroin use is no longer around. Heroin users often face serious problems. They feel like they are under great psychological pressure. This pressure may be caused by relationship, financial, social and/or work-related problems.
When using heroin, they experience a feeling of euphoria, and all their problems seem to be forgotten. Feelings of sadness, pain, cold, hunger and anxiety disappear.
Heroin use is often the next step when users believe the desired effect of other addictive substances is no longer produced or is not produced quickly enough.
The effects of heroin appear soon after a dose is taken. Heroin has a very strong sedating effect on the central nervous system. The use of heroin quickly leads to physical and mental addiction, even though users often report unpleasant effects after the first few doses. These effects include nausea, dizziness and headaches. After a few doses of heroin, these effects disappear and the body adapts very quickly to the presence of the drug. The body will protest by reducing a number of serious withdrawal symptoms, which quickly disappear after another dose. For this reason, stopping the habit of heroin use is extremely difficult and requires professional help.
Heroin use is associated with many dangers. It is easy to overdose on heroin. Too high a dose may lead to breathing problems and possibly death. Mood changes are often reported, ranging from extreme euphoria to extreme depression and even aggression.
Problems with hygiene when using heroin may result in serious infections. Heroin use involves a risk of infection with HIV and Hepatitis B and C. Regular use of heroin also causes malnourishment, reduced immunity and an unhealthy lifestyle. These effects are often recognised too late, with devastating results.
