The Dangers of Heroin Use and the Path to Recovery
Heroin is a highly addictive opioid that can quickly lead to dependence and severe health consequences. Many individuals turn to heroin seeking relief from pain or emotional distress, only to find themselves trapped in a cycle of addiction. The drug’s powerful effects can cause respiratory depression, mental clouding, and long-term brain changes that reinforce compulsive use. Additionally, heroin is frequently laced with fentanyl, making overdose and fatal consequences even more likely.
