Understanding Heroin Addiction

Causes and Risk Factors

Heroin addiction is a chronic and life-threatening condition caused by the repeated use of heroin, an opioid that rapidly alters the brain's chemistry. This addiction leads to intense cravings and severe withdrawal symptoms, creating a destructive cycle of abuse.

  3. Environmental influences

Understanding these factors is essential for effective treatment.
