Immediate effects of using heroin include a "rush" or sensation of pleasure.  This is often accompanied by a heavy sensation of the body, dry mouth and sometimes nausea or itching.  Heroin crosses the blood-brain barrier very quickly, which is one reason people are so easily addicted.

Heroin addiction treatment programs can help anyone overcome their problem, even if they have been using long-term.  Some of the effects of long-term use include physical dependence, as well as molecular and neurochemical changes in the brain.  Users find themselves spending much of their time and energy locating the drug, and this often becomes their primary focus of life.

There are also medical consequences of using heroin.  Lung problems such as tuberculosis may develop, bacterial infections in the heart valves may be present, and liver or kidney disease may be a result.  Collapsed veins are often found as well.  Not only is heroin use a threat to your behavior, job, family and social life, it is a very real threat to your health and very life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is one aspect of heroin addiction treatment that is very effective, along with other methods such as emotional skills training and neurofeedback.  Cognitive behavioral therapy allows the addicted person to understand how their thoughts influence their behavior and emotions, which helps them begin to view problems in a different way.  Modifying brain wave activity through neurofeedback is effective in treating addictive disorders, anxiety, depression and other symptoms that often lead to abuse in the first place.

Being or living with someone who is addicted to substances can be devastating, and affects the lives of everyone involved.  Behavior is often erratic or strange, health is adversely affected and everyone in the family is emotionally drained.  Heroin addiction rehab is crucial if you are ready to overcome the substances that have taken control of you and your life.  You can be happy, vibrant and normal again.
