Chronic heroin users may develop collapsed veins, infection of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, and liver disease. Additionally, pulmonary complications, including various types of pneumonia, may also result in a heroin user.

Methadone is known for its calming effect that relieves feelings of anxiety and replaces this nervousness with feelings of warmth, relaxation and detachment.

Many drug rehab treatment programs offer detoxification. The detoxification process is only the initial step on the road to recovery. Detoxification within the context of a drug rehab program helps the individual to safely manage the acute physical symptoms of withdrawal associated with stopping drug use. While detoxification alone is rarely sufficient in helping addicts achieve long-term sobriety, for some individuals it is a strongly indicated precursor to effective drug addiction treatment.
