Signs of Heroin Addiction
What to Look Out For

Many people who use heroin were previously prescribed opioids for pain.

Though the signs differ based on the individual, common indications that you or a loved one by be suffering from heroin abuse include:
- Difficulty remembering
- Depression
- Irritability
- Drowsiness
- Changed behavior
- Missed obligations
- Disheveled or changed appearance

Heroin Help with Withdrawal Symptoms
Regain Control of Your Life
With chronic or heavy use, an individual becomes physically dependent on heroin. The body stops producing its own chemicals and becomes dependent on the substance. Withdrawal is the body’s way of reacting when heroin is no longer introduced to the system. Common withdrawal symptoms include tremors, chills, sweats, abdominal pain, nausea, depression, agitation, insomnia, tachycardia, and muscle spasms. The severity of heroin withdrawal symptoms varies depending on the duration of use and dependence. These uncomfortable effects peak then subside; however, they can persist for weeks to years after recovery. Due to the powerful withdrawal symptoms associated with stopping heroin, many individuals find it challenging to remain sober and often return to substance use. Professional help can guide you through the withdrawal process toward a fulfilling life of recovery.
