Get a heroin fix
I don't fully understand the underlined part of the following sentence. Please explain it to me. Thanks !
Sweetness triggers increased activity along the same neurological “reward” pathways that blaze up when a drug addict gets a heroin fix.

I may be wrong but I think the underlined statement refers to the rehabilitation process a drug addict goes through when he means to put a stop his habbit. Hope that helps.

Hi
Yes, to get a heroin fix is to obtain heroin illegally and then inject it
I believe your sentence says that, when this happens, it's in some way similar to taking in some sucrose - e.g. drinking a sweet cup of tea
If the sentence is true then it's interesting. But I seriously doubt whether the two experiences are that similar (I'm sticking to sweet tea!)
