Can Heroin use cause permenant short term memory problems?

  • Posted on August 2, 2010 at 7:21 pm

My 16 yr old daughter is a recovering heroin addict.(1 year)When she returned to school both she and her teacher noticed she was having problems with her short term memory.Paying closer attention at home,I began to notice she couldn’t remember things that happened just a few minutes ago. Sometimes it seems worse depending on the task.This is really starting to bring her down. Is there any techniques that she can learn to help ,especially in the school enviroment ? Has anyone else had to deal with this type of problem and is it common among ex-heroin users?
