Heroin abuse almost inevitably leads to heroin addiction. Though most addictions begin as a way to fit in to a social situation or because of curiosity, they can quickly lead to devastating dependence on a powerful drug. As an opiate, heroin is especially easy to become addicted to because, like all opiates, heroin users can rapidly develop a tolerance to the drug. This means that they need to increase the quantity of heroin that they administer – sometimes by as much as 20 times the original amount – in order to feel the same high that they did when they first tried it. Many users become obsessed with achieving the feeling, and acquiring heroin takes priority over careers, relationships, and everything else the addict once valued.

If you are abusing heroin or have a co-worker, family member, or friend who is abusing heroin, intervention treatment is here to help.
