Heroin

Heroin is a highly addictive opioid derived from morphine. It produces intense euphoria followed by drowsiness and slowed breathing. The current opioid epidemic has made heroin increasingly dangerous due to fentanyl contamination. ORTC provides medications for opioid use disorders with methadone or buprenorphine — the most effective, evidence-based approach to heroin addiction treatment.
