Heroin addiction is a serious threat to society. Heroin affects the chemical balance of the human brain and alters it which explains the new ways of thinking and behavior of a heroin user. Moreover, as the body starts tolerating the drug, the body would require increased dosage to be able to feel the “high”. And so, dependency on the drug happens.
