New Jersey Heroin Rehab Center
Addiction is a powerful and impactful mental health concern that can truly affect anyone. While heroin abuse tends to have a stigma associated with it, many individuals turn to heroin after developing an addiction to pain medications that have become too expensive to continue taking. Addiction is a known risk associated with the use of prescription opioids.
A heroin addiction can create chaos and instability in your life. With the right treatment and support, recovery is possible. Inpatient treatment programs can help you get your feet on the ground, while outpatient programs provide support while you navigate your recovery.
Wellness Recovery Center is a New Jersey heroin rehab that can provide you with various outpatient treatment programs in NJ. To learn more about which treatment program would be the best fit for you, call (866)861-3449 today!
Heroin Rehab
What is Heroin?
Heroin is a synthetic substance that falls into the same category as prescription pain medications, also known as opioids. It was used as a prescription pain medication at one point before the addictive dangers of it were fully known and understood. Heroin is classified as a Schedule I drug.
Heroin is a highly addictive drug that can be snorted, smoked, and used intravenously. Heroin often costs less than other opioids and can be cut with other substances, including baking soda and fentanyl.
A heroin overdose can potentially be reversed with the use of Naloxone. The effectiveness of this medication decreases when someone has used heroin that has other opioids, including fentanyl, in it because of their higher potency.
If you are in the early stages of your recovery, you may benefit from heroin treatment in New Jersey. Wellness Recovery Center can provide you with a personalized treatment program to ensure all your needs are being met. Call (866)861-3449 today to learn more!

Heroin Addiction Treatment
How Does Heroin Affect the Body?
Heroin use can create a sense of euphoria for users. There are differences in the effects, including how fast the effects are felt, are based on the method of which it was used. Similar to other opioids, heroin blocks pain messages from the brain, which can decrease any physical pain that the user is experiencing.
Our brains release natural opioid chemicals when we experience pain. When someone takes a synthetic opioid, like heroin, their brain creates less of the natural opioid. When someone uses heroin, it will bind to the receptors in their brain, which causes a release of dopamine. Dopamine can cause a sense of euphoria and relaxation.
The more someone abuses opioids, the fewer opioids their brain will make naturally. The changes that your brain experiences regarding dopamine will impact the reward system in your brain, which is often a component of addiction.
