Opioid Addiction

Opioids are powerful drugs that include fentanyl, oxycodone, morphine, codeine, methadone, and heroin. Opioid addiction is serious and can lead to overdose and death.

These drugs affect brain receptors, triggering endorphin release. This results in pain reduction and feelings of euphoria. These feelings can dissipate quickly and leave the individual craving those feelings. The brain develops tolerance to the same level of opioid dosage over time, so a higher dosage is required to produce the feelings a user of the drug has come to expect.

The cravings for the effects of opioid use can develop into addiction, resulting in dependency and symptoms of withdrawal when the dosage is reduced or stopped. Though opioid use can lead to addiction, recovery is available and possible.
