Many people who use it develop a dependency, which may lead to illness and cause trouble at home, work, or school. As you take increased doses of heroin, your body builds up a tolerance to it, and you crave it more. In addition, it causes damage to your body. Sadly, when you are trying to quit using it, your body fights, and you experience withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>However, with the help of a professional heroin rehab center like Ethan Crossing of Cleveland, located near Euclid, you can break away from the addiction. You can then get help with whatever withdrawal symptoms you may experience. If you are interested in learning more about our <a href=\"\/substance-abuse-treatment-center\/heroin-rehab-center\/\">heroin rehab center<\/a>, contact Ethan Crossing of Cleveland today at <a href='tel:855.967.2436'>855.967.2436<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Heroin Withdrawal?<\/h2>\n<p>Heroin is an opiate drug that makes the brain learn to equate usage with feeling good and being full of energy. The drug binds to opioid receptors, increasing chemicals in the brain responsible for experiencing the feeling of pleasure. On the other hand, heroin negatively impacts your body in a variety of ways, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Suppression of the central nervous system<\/li>\n<li>Impairment of heart rate<\/li>\n<li>Blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>Temperature regulation<\/li>\n<li>Respiration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is best to seek treatment as soon as possible in order to avoid these negative symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2>Heroin Withdrawal Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), thousands of people die from a drug overdose involving heroin in the United States each year. It&#8217;s essential to understand that this substance can cause significant damage to the body, making the euphoric feelings it provokes less desirable.<\/p>\n<p>While making efforts to quit, you may experience some withdrawal symptoms. Just as each person&#8217;s physiology is different, heroin withdrawal can be different for each person going through withdrawal. Factors that can influence the length and severity of withdrawal include how long the person has been using heroin, how they use it, and the dosage.<\/p>\n<p>Several symptoms are associated with heroin withdrawal, and they range from mild ones to severe symptoms. Some symptoms of heroin withdrawal include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abdominal cramps<\/li>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Teary<\/li>\n<li>Running nose<\/li>\n<li>Sweats<\/li>\n<li>Chills<\/li>\n<li>Frequent yawns<\/li>\n<li>Bone and muscle aches<\/li>\n<li>Diarrhea<\/li>\n<li>Vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Tremors<\/li>\n<li>Restlessness<\/li>\n<li>Agitation<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Lack of concentration<\/li>\n<li>Insomnia<\/li>\n<li>Anxiety<\/li>\n<li>Hypertension<\/li>\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n<li>Muscle spasms<\/li>\n<li>Increased heartbeat<\/li>\n<li>Impaired respiration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although withdrawal from heroin isn&#8217;t usually life-threatening, certain medical and psychological symptoms can be overwhelming. Some of these may have life-threatening implications like depression. Therefore, it&#8217;s often best to go through heroin withdrawal under the guidance of a team of medical professionals.<\/p>\n<h2>Heroin Withdrawal Treatment<\/h2>\n<p>It is often a bad idea to stop using heroin suddenly without receiving support from medical and mental health professionals. At Ethan Crossing of Cleveland, we employ multiple methods to manage the side effects of withdrawal and keep our clients safe.
