Heroin Use and Continuing Treatment
Heroin is an opioid. An assessment should consider the pattern and route of use, previous treatment and any history of overdose. The contents of drugs obtained outside regulated medical care may be uncertain, which matters when discussing recent use and symptoms.
Heroin Withdrawal and Medical Assessment
Withdrawal can include restlessness, aches, sweating, nausea, diarrhea and cravings. A care team should assess physical health, mental health and ongoing opioid treatment needs. Tell the clinician if you have injected drugs so relevant health concerns can be assessed.
For a seizure, trouble breathing, inability to wake someone or another medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for a program inquiry.
Questions to Discuss About Heroin Use
Discuss previous withdrawal attempts, overdose history and any medication treatment. Ask how continued care, medication follow-up and overdose prevention will be arranged after withdrawal management.
- What current symptoms, health conditions and other substance use affect the assessment?
- Which setting can meet the identified needs, and what care is needed after withdrawal?
- Who will coordinate prescriptions, follow-up and support when care changes?
