Heroin Addiction: The Dangers of Heroin Addiction

Heroin is an incredibly abusive drug that can destroy lives and cause death.  Don’t believe me?  Here are some examples of celebrities who became addicted to heroin at a very young age and the pain it caused in their lives.

When he was just six years old, Robert Downey Jr. first became addicted to drugs.  According to his testimony, he was “surrounded by drugs, and that was the type of home he grew up in.”  Amazingly, at age twenty-two he recognize that he had a serious drug problem and went to rehab in 1987.  However, the pull of drugs is a hard call to ignore and Downey was arrested three times in 1996 for drug and weapons charges.  Jail, rehab, and more heroin all went hand in hand for Downey for many, many years before he finally broke free of heroin, although he says he is still regularly stopped by law enforcement officials.  Courtney Love “reportedly used heroin during the early stages of pregnancy with her daughter.”  She also was introduced to drugs at a very young age; as a four year old.  After being arrested in 2003 she was rushed to the hospital for an Oxycontin overdose.  Oxycontin is related closely to heroin.  Although Love has been through rehab several times, drug use and legal troubles continues to haunt Love’s life.

How Drugs Ruin Lives

As someone who has never used drugs, let alone held a cigarette, I have certainly been witness to what drugs can do to a person’s life as well as the lives of those around them who care. The pathway to drug use and abuse can (and often does) start with something as simple as a cigarette. I can remember going to a party at a friend’s house when I was in the seventh grade. Her parents were home and were in the backyard when one of my other friends quietly got all of us to go into the front yard. She then began to hand out cigarettes to everyone- cigarettes that she had stolen from her mother. This was my first encounter with drugs of any kind. Over a decade later, this same person has run the gamut of being addicted to various other kinds of drugs, has been kicked out of her house several times by her parents, and is still doing drugs despite the fact that she now has a two year-old daughter to care for.
