Heroin Addiction
Heroin impacts the brain reward system, increasing the user’s tolerance to the drug’s effects over time. In this addictive state, the individual grows a dependence on heroin forcing them to use it so they feel normal. The user eventually needs higher doses to reach the same “high” as before.
Symptoms of heroin addiction include:
- Dry mouth
- Flushed skin
- Slow breathing
- Falls asleep quickly
- Loss of self-control
- Itching
- Constipation
- Confused thinking
- Difficulty making decisions
- Memory loss
When someone addicted to heroin stops using, withdrawal symptoms begin to set in. These withdrawal symptoms happen because of the sudden stop of heroin use. People battling heroin addiction often keep using to avoid painful symptoms of withdrawal. Abusing heroin produces effects similar to pain killers like oxycodone and hydrocodone, only stronger.
Withdrawal Symptoms
Users begin experiencing withdrawal within twelve hours of their last heroin dose. Withdrawal from heroin may resemble those of prescription opioids. Because heroin leaves the user’s system faster than painkillers do, withdrawal comes about more quickly.
Withdrawal often feels like a horrible case of the flu. The worst pain and discomfort lasts a week — about as long as a bad flu — with withdrawal symptoms peaking during the second or third day.
Common symptoms of withdrawal include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Insomnia
- Agitation
- Diarrhea
- Dilated pupils
- Sweating
- Abdominal cramping
- Muscles aches
- Restlessness
Depending on the level and length of use, recovering heroin addicts might suffer post-acute withdrawal symptoms. Prolonged heroin use changes the brain’s chemical makeup. The effects on mood and behavior can last months after other withdrawal symptoms pass. Some of these long-lasting symptoms might include anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, and irritability.
Duration of Withdrawal
The length of heroin withdrawal depends on several factors. The amount of the drug and the period over which it was taken can impact how long withdrawal lasts. Because heroin is a short-acting opioid, withdrawal can begin as soon as a few hours.
Typically withdrawal symptoms being to set in 6 to 12 hours after a person take their final dose. It will peak 2-3 days in and last 5-10 days in total. It’s important to get the proper treatment for heroin addiction as the withdrawal symptoms are very severe. At Restore Detox Centers, our professional and compassionate staff provide heroin users proper addiction recovery treatments.
