Heroin

Heroin is a potent opioid derived from morphine which swiftly impacts the brain's pleasure systems, leading to intense euphoria. Heroin misuse has a profound impact on individuals and communities, often leading to severe and rapid physical and psychological dependence. This illicit substance can result in a range of health complications, including respiratory depression and increased vulnerability to infectious diseases.

At GCPS, we recognise the challenges associated with heroin addiction and are committed to providing a supportive environment for those seeking recovery. Our comprehensive approach integrates evidence-based treatments to address both the physical and emotional aspects of dependence, fostering a path towards healing and a drug-free life.

Withdrawals from addictive opioids like heroin can be severe and challenging. Regardless of how a dependancy is developed, there is never any shame in reaching out for help.
