In this scenario, the unconditioned stimulus is heroin, which naturally elicits a physiological response. The conditioned stimulus is the usual drug-taking environment, which through repeated association with heroin use, comes to elicit a conditioned response that prepares the body for the drug's effects, potentially reducing the risk of overdose in familiar settings.
