Heroin addiction is a growing problem that has hit Visalia too.
There are a number of signs and symptoms for someone who might have a heroin addiction. These symptoms may include having trouble breathing or being short of breath, having very small pupils, being hyper alert and then suddenly very sleepy, being disoriented, changing behavior dramatically, dry mouth, and looking heavy or droopy.
Other cues that show specifically heroin abuse include silver spoons that have been burned, needles or syringes present, gum wrappers or aluminum foil that has been burned, shoe laces being removed, white powder, pipes, or straws being discovered.

Visalia has its roots from Native Americans who lived there centuries before Europeans arrived. Visalia’s county, Tulare County, was not actually in existence yet when California was acquired by the United States and became an official state in the year 1850. A couple years after that, explorers began to settle the area that is present day Visalia.
Visalia gets its name from Nathaniel Vise (the surveyor of the early settlement here) and his hometown in Kentucky. Visalia has thrived ever since, but it still cannot escape the tentacles of the growing heroin addiction problem in this country.
The path to recovery from an addiction to heroin is a long and arduous process, but it is not impossible by any means. In fact, many people have achieved success in healing from their heroin addict days and now live happy, successful lives filled with responsibility, family, and friendships. You or your loved one can achieve this too.
The key is to find a treatment plan that works. Intensive outpatient treatment or full inpatient treatment is often the method of choice, as it includes behavioral cognitive therapy, individual therapy, group counseling, and more.
