How Long Does Heroin Stay in Your System: ReVIDA Recovery Explains
May 1, 2023
May 01, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - ReVIDA® Recovery Abingdon, an addiction rehab facility in Abingdon, VA, has released a blog post titled, “How Long Does Heroin Stay in Your System.” There are four primary drug testing approaches, and they perform differently when detecting heroin in the blood, urine, saliva, and hair follicle. Heroin is an opioid derived from a natural substance present in the seedpod of a poppy plant. Heroin tends to move quickly through the body and in general, is out of the system in 30 minutes. How long it stays in the system and how its effects are felt by the individual depend on a number of factors including age, diet, weight, other substances in the system, and metabolism.
Blood tests are not very reliable for detecting heroin in the system and they also have the disadvantage of being an invasive testing option. This is because heroin doesn’t stay in the bloodstream long enough for blood tests to be of any help. Saliva tests are also unreliable for detecting heroin in an individual. It has been observed that traces of heroin become undetectable in saliva in just 30 to 60 minutes after the person has taken heroin.
Urine tests are fairly reliable and can detect heroin for up to 7 days after the person has taken heroin. This is the popular choice when testing for heroin because of the ease in which the test can be done and the length of time that it can detect heroin. But the best test for heroin is the hair follicle test because it is possible to detect heroin in hair follicles for up to 90 days after the individual’s last dose.
Those who use heroin can also experience heroin withdrawal symptoms that usually begin within 8 to 24 hours after the last consumption of heroin. These symptoms may last for four to 10 days and may include nausea and vomiting, cravings, insomnia, hot flashes, increased anxiety, sweating, muscle cramps, runny nose and watery eyes, and diarrhea. These withdrawal symptoms tend to cause people to take heroin again as a way to alleviate the symptoms, but this can cause the cycle of addiction to continue. Those who are managing an addiction are encouraged to contact ReVIDA® Recovery to get the treatment they need.
At ReVIDA® Recovery, their goal is to help people living with an addiction get on the road to recovery and allow them to lead sober lives.
