Return To Addiction FAQ Archive   What does heroin addiction do to a person's life? Answered By Editor Heroin is one the most addictive drugs you will find on the market. As an opioid and a depressant, heroin slows down the brain's functions. Usually injected, heroin creates a sense of pleasure and euphoria. As such, it immediately creates a craving for more of the drug. Thus, a person addicted to heroin is driven to have more heroin. A heroin addict will often lie, cheat or steal in order to find their next high. People addicted to heroin usually have a difficult time staying in relationships, and end up pushing away or losing those most important to them. They find it difficult to function in daily life and may find themselves in deep debt due to their addiction and inablity to function. People who inject heroin are at risk for diseases such a HIV, AIDS and hepatitis. Ultimately, a heroin addiction can lead to death. keywords: Addiction | Drugs | Drug Abuse | Heroin | Heroin Addiction | Addictive Drugs | Opioid | Depressant | HIV | Hepatitis Heroin Addiction Methadone Alcohol Rehab
