Morphine vs. Heroin: A Deep Dive into Opiate Addiction

The morphine high should be similar, if not identical, to a heroin high. So the active drug is the same, while heroin is four times the potency of morphine. Yet morphine has not been a preferred drug of choice by opioid abusers in recent decades.
Why is heroin often the go-to for opioid abusers, even though morphine is readily available as a prescription painkiller? Dr. Mark Leeds, an osteopathic physician with a wealth of experience in addiction treatment, unpacks this complex issue in this episode. He explains that while both morphine and heroin share similar properties, heroin is significantly more potent, making it more appealing to those struggling with addiction. Dr.
Leeds doesn't stop there; he also discusses the impact of fentanyl analogs on addiction treatment and how medication-assisted treatments like methadone and suboxone can help manage withdrawal symptoms and prevent relapse. If you're curious about the nuances of opioid addiction or looking for effective treatment options, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
