  • What makes heroin so addictive?

    Heroin is made with an additive, called fentanyl. Fentanyl is very cheap, and highly addictive. The reason why it is so addictive is because it creates a euphoria and a neurologic response in the brain. In addition to the neurologic response, the body becomes chemically dependent on the opioid, due to its affinity for one of the receptors in the brain. without this receptor, being occupied by an opiate, individuals will go through withdrawal.

  • Dependency to opiate vs addiction

    Chemically dependent on a medication requires tolerance and an element of withdrawal when the medication is not taken. “Addiction” or substance use disorder is a term that we use to distinguish an unhealthy use of a substance. In your case, I would talk to the doctor prescribing your medications and perhaps involving your family in that conversation as it pertains to your terminal condition. READ MORE

  • Can medications give you a false positive on a drug test?
