Answer 3

There are many signs that someone may be involved in heroin substance abuse. One of the most common signs includes dramatic changes in one's life. I personally suggest you to call for professional help... 888-706-4953(toll free). Here are some of the areas in which someone may make drastic changes due to a heroin addiction:

Performance. This can either be at school or work - or in some other way. Are the person's grades suddenly dropping? Is the quality of work assignments becoming progressively worse? Does the person's performance in sports or music suffer? When someone suddenly becomes worse at something he or she is good at, this can be a sign of heroin substance abuse. Additionally, someone using heroin may stop showing up on time - or at all.

Personal care. This is a sign common to many substance abuse problems. When a person is abusing heroin, he or she may not take good care of him or herself. You may notice that personal hygiene, such as regular showers and changing one's clothing regularly, is no longer important. Someone who is involved in heroin substance abuse may no longer care about fixing his or her hair, or performing other grooming tasks.

Tendency toward recklessness. Someone using heroin often does not care about the natural consequences of his or her actions. He or she may do reckless things, such as steal to get money for more drugs - or even engage in other dangerous behaviors. Natural consequences of their choices are no longer important to heroin users.

Withdrawal from friends, family and activities. Another sign of heroin substance abuse is withdrawal from normal activities. New, more dangerous friends can indicate a heroin addiction. Additionally, someone involved in heroin substance abuse may also become more secretive, desiring to be left alone by family members. Heroin addicts also may begin withdrawing from enjoyed activities, such as going out with friends or participating in clubs and organizations.

There are additional signs of heroin substance abuse as well:

• Runny nose or constant sniffing.
• Needle marks on arms - and even on legs.
• Speech is sometimes slurred.
• Very little motivation, and no desire to form future plans.
• Displays of hostility toward others.
• Possession of drug paraphernalia.

Answer 4

Some symptoms of heroin addiction are withdrawing from friends, misuse of money, physical manifestations like blue underneath eyes, sweaty skin, and tremors. Always try to get help for someone you may presume to have a drug addiction.

Answer 5

The heroin chic trend of the 1990s provided a good indication of what a heroin user can look like. The fashionable trend featured dark circles beneath the eyes, pasty white skin and an overall gaunt and angular appearance. Heroin users often end up looking that way without trying to be chic but rather from suffering of the ill effects of the drug. Also dry mouth, flushed skin, nausea, constipation, depression.

Look for changes in behavior. Children who have started using heroin may suddenly replace old friends with new ones and there may be a dramatic drop in grades or job performance.

Watch for physical changes because of heroin use. Heroin users may develop runny noses and eyes, constricted pupils and spend an unusually large amount of time sleeping or exhibit apathy or lethargy. A regular user may have an unkempt appearance and begin to neglect their hygiene.

Find unusual items around the house such as capsules, small plastic bags, syringes, packaging material for antihistamines or unusual residue in the coffee-bean grinder. Cash or other valuables may be missing and a sudden pattern of stealing or borrowing money appears. On the other hand, you also may find unexplained valuable

Notice other clues to indicate heroin use. A heroin user may wear winter clothes during the summer to hide needle marks.
