Heroin addiction can feel like an endless cycle, but recovery is possible. With the right support, you can reclaim your life.
1. Understanding Withdrawal
Heroin hijacks the brain’s reward system, leading to dependence. When use stops, withdrawal begins, bringing both physical and psychological challenges.
2. Physical Symptoms.
– Flu-like aches, nausea, insomnia
– Sweating, chills, stomach cramps
– Intense cravings
3. Psychological Symptoms.
– Anxiety, depression, mood swings
– Lack of motivation, vivid nightmares
4. Heroin Detox Timeline
– 8-12 hours: Cravings, muscle aches begin
– 1-3 days: Peak withdrawal—flu-like symptoms, nausea
– Up to 3 weeks: Gradual improvement, lingering cravings
How to cope with Withdrawal?
– Stay hydrated and eat well
– Engage in therapy and peer support
– Avoid triggers and follow medical guidance
