Heroin and other opioids
-
Other opiods include opium, morphine,
codeine, pethidine, oxycodone, buprenorphine and methadone.
Opioids are depressants, which means they slow
down the body's central nervous system.
Drugs are substances that have a mental or physical effect when introduced to the body. Illicit drug use is the use of illegal drugs (like cannabis or cocaine) and / or the misuse (ie. Not using as intended or directed) of legal drugs or substances, including over-the-counter and prescribed medications and inhalants like petrol or glue.

Injecting drugs is very risky and can lead to long-term vein damage or even gangrene and amputation.
When injected, it is difficult to make sure it is done safely. Hands can carry small blood particles that you cannot see and can transfer a virus from one person to another. If the equipment or substance used is not completely clean, you could get a bloodstream infection and become seriously ill. Even the smallest amount of infected blood that enters your bloodstream may be enough to give you a virus that can make you very sick, such as HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C.
