Dangers of Heroin Abuse
Many painkillers are made from opiates, and so is heroin. For this reason, many people start using heroin after they are given a strong prescription painkiller. Also for this same reason, many people don’t see the dangers of heroin as addiction sets in because they associate the “high” feeling of heroin with prescription drugs, which are meant to be “good for you” by default. Whether you began using heroin after painkillers or not, the consequences to your health and well-being can be the same.
Health complications and other consequences of heroin addiction can include:
- Insomnia
- Heart problems
- Breathing difficulties
- Kidney failure
- Liver disease
- Seizures
- Mood instability
- Job loss
- Destroyed personal relationships
- Overspending or bankruptcy
