What Are Common Struggles In Early Recovery From Heroin Addiction?

October 18, 2009 By: admin Category: Health

i’m close to someone who’s been in & out of rehab for the past 16 years. clean for 8 after the 1st time, then used heroin. since then he’s had 6 months or so clean at a time & then relapses. 6 months ago he went into a long term treatment program & was released after 4. but he’s still lying & hiding. he cheated on the girl who stood by him almost right after he left the treatment center & she’s devastated. moved out of the original sober house he went to & into another one but hasn’t been back there since he moved in. the girl he cheated with didn’t know he was in a relationship. he’s not living with her so not sure where he stays. he’s already creating another web of lies. however, he goes to meetings every day & speaks at them frequently. works all the time. sounds like he’s doing okay, but is it just a cover up? lies cause guilt, shame which is what he needs to avoid. are these signs he may relapse soon? is this typical (lying, infidelity, etc ..) in early recovery?

What’s The Treatment To Heroin Addiction?

October 18, 2009 By: admin Category: Health

I’m addicted to heroin. The first time I tried using heroin was the night I discovered my boyfriend cheating on me. I was heartbroken and devastated. One of my classmates, Mike, offered me heroin. He said that it’s the best remedy for a heartbreak. I tried it and I didn’t like it at first but I found myself wanting to have it in my system again. I became addicted to it and I love the euphoric feeling that it provides. Just recently, I realized how my addiction to heroin affects my family. I’ve never seen my mother so downhearted and miserable. I want to change. I want to give up my addiction but I can’t do it alone.

Why Do They Use Methadone Rather Than Sebutex Primarily For The Curing Of Heroin Addiction?

October 17, 2009 By: admin Category: Health

Sebutex has opioids rather than actual opiates in it like methadone does. You can’t get off on sebutex, however, you can get high on methadone. Sebutex turns itself off if you take too much. So why don’t they just use that?

October 14, 2009 By: admin Category: Health

I was just wondering about this since I remembered an article that I read in a magazine about how a fairly large percentage of Americans are getting rehabilitated for heroin use every year. I always seem to hear about someone who has just gone out of rehab, or is going to be rehabilitated. I was planning on writing an article on this for our school paper, maybe it would help enlighten other students and stop them from using heroin. Your ideas and input will be very much appreciated.

Why Do Doctors Prescribe Methadone For Heroin Addiction?

October 13, 2009 By: admin Category: Health

The withdrawals from methadone addiction take 3 times longer than for heroin (3 weeks against 5 days), and are more painful. I suspect that methadone is preferred simply because it does not give such an intense high as heroin. The medical profession seem to think that getting their patients hooked on a much worse drug is acceptable just as long as no one actually gets high.
Perhaps their interests are more puritanical than medical.
