HEROIN: WHAT IT IS AND WHY HEROIN REHAB HELPS
Heroin is an opioid. Once it was discovered that treating things such as a common cough were far more detrimental than helpful, it became a schedule one substance in Canada. In turn, the immediate effects felt by injecting heroin, resulting in what most call a “warm blanket effect” is why its dependence rate is high. The withdrawal results in one of the most uncomfortable experiences one can go through. These symptoms are also felt by using other opioids such as Fentanyl, Morphine, Oxycodone and many other pain relieving drugs and medications. In turn, many people actually start out on a prescription drug and once addicted, they find themselves using heroin or fentanyl as it becomes more accessible and cheaper. Once in withdrawal, seeking a medical withdrawal program is proven to be much more successful when the addicted person has options such as OATS (opioid agonist therapy). There are many addiction treatment programs nearby, but very few that can provide drug rehab at your home. Then continuing a Heroin rehab program that includes counselling and relapse prevention is recommended once a person has gotten through the withdrawal phase.

Why drug users become addicted to heroin
Most people either like heroin or they hate it the first time they try it. Most that become addicted will need some sort of Heroin Rehab. The effects of using is an instantaneous rush, as the heroin enters the blood stream causing an immediate feeling of pleasure, the flood of endorphins triggered by the heroin leaves the person with an extreme sense of calm and well-being. Alternatively, nausea is usually experienced also. This is the fork it in the road for most. After person injects heroin the first few times, some can decide not to do it anymore. On the other hand, when most people experience extreme euphoria, a huge rush of pleasure, and complete escape from reality, it leads quickly to daily dependance. Once dependance has been reached, the ability to quit on ones own will power is extremely difficult.
