Everything is curable even heroin addiction

One thing all heroin users will admit to the fact that they never got to know as to when they get hooked to this dangerous opium derived drug. Heroin abuse isn’t something that started in the 1960’s amidst the rock and roll rush; it is something that has plagued the American culture since the 1800’s. Though initially heroin was not available in its current form, it was just morphine, another opium derived drug that worked as a wonderful painkiller that was being abused. The image we have of the Old Wild west isn’t completely accurate. What we see in films and depictions in popular western culture is a cowboy ending a long horse ride and directly hitting the bar, but there were cases too where the cowboys went into Opium saloons.

The use of Opium was brought in by Chinese immigrants who came to the ‘States to work on the railroads, and it quickly grew popular from that. In the mid-1800’s, Heroin was being officially produced in Germany as a painkiller for the ‘direst of pains’ and it pushed its fangs into America a few years later. This is when heroin use went up substantially, so substantial that Heroin, morphine and other opiates got banned in the United States in the year 1920 when Congress saw the dangers of these drugs and enacted the Dangerous Drug Act. But by the time this law was passed, it was already too late. A market for heroin in the U.S. had already been created and by 1925 there were an estimated number of 200,000 heroin addicts in the country. It was a market which would hold strong to its ground until this day. And the figures now are quite worrying as well. In 2013 alone, an estimated 8,200 people died due to heroin overdoses and that number was four times more than the number of heroin related deaths in the year 2002. And unfortunately, it is still growing.
