What Are Opioids?

Opioids are defined as natural, synthetic, or partially synthetic chemicals that interact with opioid receptors within the brain to reduce pain sensation. While taking prescription opioids for a short period of time after a major surgery while under the care of a doctor might work well for some people, others can develop a dependency on the medication. Sometimes this dependency will cause the patient to take more and more of the medication. There are also instances where prescription opioid use can lead to illegal opioid use.

There are several types of opioids:

• Morphine
• Codeine
• Oxycodone
• Hydrocodone
• Heroin
• Fentanyl

While prescription opioids can be very effective at relieving severe pain, they can also lead to addiction. Even if you are prescribed opioids by a doctor, you can still develop a dependency. And if you’ve started using illegal opioids, such as heroin or fentanyl, you may develop an addiction even more quickly. The risk of overdose is also higher with illegal opioids.

Warning Signs of Opioid Addiction

There are several classic warning signs of opioid addiction. These may happen quickly or over a period of time while using the substance. If you experience any of these symptoms, you may need opioid abuse treatment:

• You use opioid medication in a different way than how it’s prescribed; that is, you use it to get “high.”
• You’ve started going to more than one doctor for prescriptions.
• You’re starting to have problems with your family, friends, or at your job.
• You’re having financial issues.
• You struggle to fulfill responsibilities at work or home.
• You’ve started to experience sudden and abrupt mood swings. This can be a sign of withdrawal.
