New a Forever Recovery Blog Post Asks: “Why Do People Use Heroin?”
Battle Creek, MI (PRWEB) March 12, 2014 -- A new blog post from leading treatment facility A Forever Recovery is asking a jarring question that in many ways is at the heart of America’s heroin epidemic: given that most people know that heroin is dangerous, why are they using it?
“The superficial answer to this question – and the one that, frankly, many addicts themselves believe on some level, is they don’t care that heroin is dangerous, and are willing to accept the risks that come with use and abuse,” commented Per Wickstrom, the CEO of A Forever Recovery. “However, the reality from a scientific perspective is that heroin is very addictive, which means that users are no longer in full control – which is why they both deserve and need professional help. It’s not a habit, a lifestyle choice, or a preference. Heroin abuse is an addiction, and that puts it on a totally different level.”
The A Forever Recovery blog post points out that since heroin affects the brain’s pleasure centers, it’s essential for addicts to re-train themselves to find new pleasurable activities that are healthy and uplifting – such as art, music, dance, martial arts, and many other activities. At the same time, addicts must recognize that the best and safest way to manage withdrawal symptoms is to detox under the care of a trained medical professional or addiction specialist.
