Heroin is an opioid drug derived from morphine, a natural substance extracted from the seed pods of certain poppy plants. At Society Wellness, we focus on the impact of heroin on individuals and communities, particularly within the LGBTQ+ population. Heroin is a highly addictive substance that affects the brain’s reward system, producing intense feelings of euphoria. However, its use comes with severe risks. Heroin is typically found as a white or brown powder or in a sticky black substance known as “black tar heroin.” It can be injected, snorted, or smoked.
At Society Wellness, we offer comprehensive treatment programs to address heroin addiction, providing a supportive environment tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Our goal is to help clients achieve recovery and improve their overall quality of life.
Heroin addiction is a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by an intense and compulsive urge to use heroin despite its harmful effects. Heroin, an opioid derived from morphine, causes profound euphoria and pain relief, which can quickly lead to physical and psychological dependence. Addiction develops as the brain becomes reliant on the drug to experience pleasure and manage stress, altering normal brain function and creating a cycle of craving and use.
