Heroin is a potent opioid drug derived from morphine, a natural substance extracted from the seed pods of certain poppy plants. In South Africa, heroin is classified as a prohibited substance due to its high potential for abuse and lack of accepted medical use.
Heroin is one of the most addictive substances available. Its chemical structure affects the brain's reward system, leading users to crave the drug repeatedly. Even after a single use, individuals may find themselves desiring the euphoria it provides, leading to a cycle of repeated use.
A study dating back to the 1970’s explains how changing an addict’s environment can help them overcome addiction and avoid relapsing.
The study, which was heavily contested in its time, is now regarded as significant to current concepts about how we can change behaviours and how addiction can be cured.
