Heroin which is also named as diacetylmorphine, diamorphine and morphine diacetate is a very addictive drug synthesized from morphine. Opium poppy is the main item of heroin. Afghanistan is believed to be top provider of heroin as there are many areas where opium poppy is cultivated. An addiction to heroin starts when a person first takes it for recreation. He or she continues taking it as a drug when found it enhancing his feelings or releives from certain conditions such as pain.

Addiction to heroin becomes undeniable with devastating dependency on it.
Users who become dependent on heroin for recreation do not intend to stop using and thus develop a strong addiction. In most cases an addict comes in touch with heroin for the first time through his or her friends in an attempt to test it or relieve from some emotional pain. Heroin addiction is considered as the death to humanity.

Answer by Dorothy Rose
You could compare Treatment Options for Heroin Addicts, researching both Abstinence and Harm Reduction (e.g. slowly tapering down with Methadone) Treatment Programs to see which seems to have a higher rate of success and provide a possible explanation as to why.

Heroin is an addictive drug that belongs in the family of drugs known as opiates. This family of drugs also includes many prescription medications used for the management of pain. Heroin is made from Morphine, which occurs naturally in some varieties of poppy plants. Heroin looks like a powder, usually white or brown in color. It may also be sold as a black, sticky substance which is referred to as “black tar” heroin. In most cases, other substances are combined with heroin (“cut” in). There have been many cases where the “other” substances added to heroin are poisonous, such as cutting heroin with strychnine. This is one of the risks related to heroin use – users often have no idea what substances may be “cut” into their heroin and they may inadvertently poison themselves. Also, because heroin is usually cut with other substances, users have no way of knowing the actual concentration of heroin they are ingesting. This puts heroin users at risk for overdose, because the same amount of the drug (visually or by weight) can contain vastly different amounts of heroin itself. Additionally, although heroin can be snorted or smoked, it is often injected which increases ones risk for acquiring blood borne diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.
