HEROIN ADDICTION TREATMENT
SERVING DALLAS, TEXAS

Heroin, or diacetylmorphine, is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from the poppy plant. First synthesized in 1874 by chemist C.R. Alder Wright, it was later introduced by Bayer Pharmaceuticals in the late 1890s as a “safer” alternative to morphine. Initially marketed as a cough suppressant, heroin’s highly addictive nature was not immediately recognized. By the early 1900s, heroin use had skyrocketed, leading to widespread addiction. In response, the U.S. government passed the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act in 1914 to regulate opiates. By the mid-1920s, heroin was completely banned in the United States of America. Despite this, heroin resurfaced in waves – most notably in the 1970s and again in the 1990s as the opioid crisis escalated. Today, heroin remains one of the most abused drugs in the country, classified as a Schedule I substance with no accepted medical use. Know that heroin addiction is a chronic and dangerous condition.
