Dangers of smoking heroin
Smoking heroin is often referred to as chasing the dragon a term that originated in Hong Kong and this is done by placing the heroin on a piece of foil and inhaling the heated vapor heroin when one is doing this the heat causes it to turn into liquid which moves around on the foil so therefore the term chasing the dragon. From my experience there are a lot of ways to become addicted to opiate drugs; for example, like shooting heroin, smoking heroin, or snorting heroin. But I am going to let you know a little bit about the dangers of smoking heroin.
Dangers of smoking heroin
More than a few drug addiction counselors who want to reduce the impairment that addicts cause themselves have advised them to smoke heroin rather than inject it, to avoid contracting AIDS and other diseases from sullied needles. The higher purity of heroin sold on the street has also led more users who fear overdosing from a heroin injection to start smoking heroin or snorting the drug instead.
But new evidence suggests that chasing the dragon or smoking heroin has its own misfortunes. Experts warn that heroin smokers can develop a deadly neurological condition that deprives them of muscle coordination and speech, and that if untreated can lead to paralysis and death.
I am not here to condone either of these methods of using heroin. I am here to help others learn how to stop using opiates like heroin.
If you have the desire to change your life and learn how to stop smoking heroin, I would suggest that you go to heroin addiction treatment. There you can be comfortably detoxed from heroin by people who are specially trained in this area. Upon arrival you will be administered medications to help ease the pain of heroin withdrawal. This process will take around 5 days during which time you will basically spend your time sleeping and recovering from the things you have put your body through.
This will not be enough to keep you clean I would recommend when you are finished with your detox that you attend residential treatment. There you will attend lectures, group, and some type of 12 step meetings designed to help you when you leave rehab so you do not return to smoking heroin. I suggest that you take action now
