Heroin addiction can be one of the more challenging drug addictions to recover from. The nervous system becomes accustomed to the chronic exposure of the opiate and a physical dependence on the drug develops. The best hope for a person with a heroin addiction is to enter a medically-based heroin detox program followed by drug rehab.
Controlling Heroin Withdrawal Symptoms
Over the last few years, heroin detox programs and their methodologies have improved dramatically. For optimal results, heroin detox should take place in a medically-based drug detox program staffed by physicians who can promptly dispense medications to minimize heroin withdrawal symptoms. These painful symptoms may include:
Bone pain
Cold flashes
Diarrhea
Insomnia
Involuntary leg movements
Muscle pain
Restlessness
Vomiting
Nausea
Anxiety
Diarrhea
Abdominal pain
Chills
Sweating
Sniffing
Sneezing
Weakness
Irritability
