Heroin Withdrawal
One of the hardest parts of recovery from opiate addiction is dealing with the detox symptoms. Heroin and opiate addiction are notoriously difficult to overcome, and the unpleasant detox symptoms are part of the reason. Heroin withdrawal is most successful if it is done with the help of professionals. Particularly if you are attempting a home detox from substance abuse, you will need all the support you can get. Angels of Victory has the resources to help you deal with detox symptoms and all the challenges of substance abuse.
Recognizing Detox Symptoms
Heroin withdrawal symptoms occur because your body is reacting to the absence of a substance it's become accustomed to. The symptoms last a few days as your body learns to function without the heroin.
Some of the detox symptoms you can expect include:
- Nausea, loss of appetite and vomiting
- Insomnia, poor sleep and nightmares
- Rapid heart beat
- Bone and muscle pain
- Cold flashes
- Irritability, anxiety or depression
- Clammy skin
- Craving for heroin
