Let’s talk about Arthur. At 17, an accident led him to oxycodone for spinal injuries. Over time, doctors increased his doses until opioids ruled his life—physically and emotionally. When prescriptions suddenly stopped (without proper support), withdrawal was unbearable, and heroin quickly took their place.

Prescription Opiate Dillemma
Keep in mind that no matter if a doctor prescribes opioids, they are highly addictive. First, an individual will develop tolerance to the drugs needing a higher dose. The next step is to depend on the medication needing or craving heroin to feel good or simply to now feel as bad when ‘kicking it’ or coming off from it. The next step will usually be an addiction, and it tends to increase over time.
Opiate withdrawals such as those of heroin lead to mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression and other co-occurring challenges. It is not uncommon for those who have suffered from trauma or PTSD to self-medicate and be attending many of these mental health illnesses with heroin and other opiate drugs.
