Heroin is a semi-synthetic opiate. It is specifically categorized in the sub-class of morphine-derivatives; and even further still, it is of the morphine 3,6-diester class. But generally speaking, it is categorized as an opioid(which, for medical purposes include natural opiates found in opium such as morphine & codeine; semi-synthetic opiates which are synthesized from natural opium-alkaloids--which includes heroin; and synthetic opiates--or opioids--such as fentanyl and hydromorphone which are able to be synthesized without the use of naturally occurring opium alkaloids like codeine or morphine).
To further prove this point- heroin's chemical name is diacetyl-morphine and quite obvious by its name- it is very similar in its psychoactivity to morphine, although it is more lipid soluble, allowing it to penetrate the brain and fatty-tissues more quickly. This results in a higher "rush" type feeling (which is usually associated with more addiction potential).
