More and more young people are being tempted to experiment with heroin. Some become firm addicts and for them the consequences are severe. But how can they be helped, and what kind of experience are they likely to go through?
Frances Donnelly talks to former addicts and to people who work in treatment centres about the process of breaking the habit. For anyone caught up in heroin the real problem is not so much to cleanse the body as to commit the mind - to face reality and take charge.
As one man puts it: 'I liked being not myself.

In 1956 Gordon Cooper was among the youngsters at Ellison Street Junior School photographed after passing their 11-plus exam.
This year they will be 40, having lived their lives in the welfare state introduced by the 1945 Labour Government.
Brought up on free milk and orange juice, they were the promise of post-war Britain - but what kind of people did that promise produce? What effects did the social, cultural and economic changes of the 60s and 70s have on their attitudes, actions and beliefs? In the second of four programmes Gordon talks to his class-mates about their education, and asks a former teacher from Ellison Street, Neville West, how typical their experiences have been.
