How to get the heroin monkey off your back

Posted by frisco88 in heroin recoveryheroin

There's really two ways to go: You can go the medical route and take the methadone or suboxone or other variation on this theme or you can find the right kind of help to get you totally clean so you can stay clean. To get off, you have got to find a place that will help you through the withdrawal with help, good nutrition, physical and mental support. The place I work, the guys coming off heroin

Clearing out heroin addiction

Posted by frisco88 in treatmentheroin recoveryheroin

Is there any hope for a heroin addict? Will they always be an addict or can they put this part of their life behind them? There is real hope if they find a holistic program that eliminates the cravings. You have to get the person through withdrawal and eliminate the cravings. Then they have to learn how to make drug-free decisions, especially at times of stress when they might want to use heroin

Heroin addiction is a child of the old opium trade

Posted by frisco88 in opiumheroindrug addiction

Heroin and opium are both opiates, both addictive, both requiring treatment for recovery. Opium goes way back to the importation of Chinese workers for industry and the railroads. By exploiting those workers, American inherited an old Asian tradition -- opiate addiction. Many old Western towns as well as cities in the East had their opium dens into which cowboys or citydwellers alike would

Celebrities can get hooked on heroin just as easily...

Posted by frisco88 in heroin recoveryheroin

Some celebrities we may have loved and some we may not have loved have been addicted to heroin or other opiates. Like John Belishi, David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Miles Davis, Robert Downey Jr. and Jerry Garcia. Some of these people were or are fine performers and have been lost to us because or partly because of the drugs. Heroin and other opiates don't help anyone, they may only dull the pain that

Heroin has to be one of the worst addictions

Posted by frisco88 in heroin recoveryheroin

Whoever invented heroin did no favors for the human race; coming off this addiction is grueling. There's sweats and nausea and deep bone and muscle pain and cramps. A person coming off heroin will feel like life itself depends on getting and using more heroin. So a treatment program for heroin addiction has to understand this and help the person through a tolerable withdrawal. Some programs give

have you ever seen anyone in withdrawal from heroin addiction?

Posted by frisco88 in heroin recoveryheroin

I was trying to help this fellow at an addiction center with his withdrawal from heroin. It was made tougher because he would not accept help. Well, he finally let me do some massage on the muscles in his legs because they hurt so much. He was so skinny. It was obvious that his world had become heroin and nothing else. They have no idea how much they hurt those who love them. They only love the

Heroin addiction -- no one deserves this fate

Posted by frisco88 in heroin recoveryheroin

Heroin addiction is so destructive of life and joy, not only for the addict but for the addict's family, that no one should have to suffer. But it takes a very effective rehab to break a person free from this addiction. Simply administering other opioid drugs in the hope that they will at least stay legal is not good enough. A person should be free and that takes plenty of hands-on work and

Why do people get addicted to heroin?

Posted by frisco88 in heroin recoveryheroindrug addiction

There's a reason people start using drugs including heroin. It starts with a problem of some kind. It could be stress or unhappiness or pain or failure. It could even be boredom or the feeling of not being challenged. A person finds a solution that makes things feel better but that feeling is short lived. More heroin or other drug makes the problem go away, or so it seems. Finally, since most

First memory of heroin addiction

Posted by frisco88 in heroindrug rehabdrug addiction

The first time I saw someone who was addicted to heroin was in New York in 1998. A young African-American woman sat on a chair on the sidewalk near 42nd street and nodded off. I had never seen such a thing before and it shocked me. I wanted with all my heart to help her but I had no resources. Often a family does not have to face a person's addiction directly but only the effects of it. The

Heroin addictions can end in treatment

Posted by frisco88 in treatmentheroindrug rehabdrug addictionaddiction treatmentaddiction

Addiction to opiates has been around for a lot longer than there have been heroin treatment centers. This kind of addiction goes back hundreds of years in China and may have been brought to this country by Chinese who came to work on the railroads and other industries. But it matters little. People are still losing their lives. The only answer is a treatment program that gets to the bottom of the
