Opiate addiction is recognized as a central nervous system disorder, caused by continuous opiate intake. After prolonged opiate use, the nerve cells in the brain, which would otherwise produce endogenous opiates (natural painkillers, or endorphins), cease to function normally. The body stops producing endorphins because it is receiving opiates instead. The degeneration of these nerve cells causes a physical dependency to an external supply of opiates. After repeatedly using heroin for a period of time, the long-term effects of the substance begin to appear in the user.
Chronic users may develop collapsed veins, infection of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, and liver disease. Additionally, users may also experience pulmonary complications, including various types of pneumonia.
