Drug Addiction Facts

  • Many individuals report taking up heroin use as an alternative to prescription drugs because it is cheaper and easier to obtain than prescription opioids.
  • When fentanyl binds to opioid receptors this in turn elevates dopamine levels in the brain's reward areas, which then produces a state of euphoria and relaxation.
  • The risk for stroke associated with cocaine use is much higher than with other stroke risk factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or smoking due to the fact that cocaine use can result in the constriction of blood vessels, increased heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure, and decreased oxygen supply to the brain.
