Opioid Addiction Center and Abuse Treatment

From 1999-2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded nearly 500,000 overdose deaths from opioids in the United States. With fentanyl use on the rise, it’s essential to understand opioids and the consequences of abusing this class of drugs.

What are Opioids?

The National Institutes of Health define opioids as a class of drugs that includes illegal drugs such as heroin and synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Prescription pain relievers also fall into the opioids category, including oxycodone (OxyContin®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), codeine, morphine, and many others.

Opioids interact with opioid receptors in your cells, and prescription opioids can treat intense and chronic pain. Common conditions for which doctors prescribe opioid medications include cancer pain, post-surgical pain, vascular pain, and acute pain (short-term).

Types of Opioids

  • Fentanyl
  • Heroin (Made from morphine)
  • Oxycodone (OxyContin®, Percocet®)
  • Oxymorphone (Opana®)
  • Hydrocodone (Vicodin®)
  • Hydromorphone
  • Morphine (Kadian®, Avinza®)
  • Methadone
  • Codeine
  • Meperidine
  • Tramadol
  • Carfentanil
  • Buprenorphine

Why are Opioids Abused?

Opioids trigger a release of endorphins in the brain, aka feel-good neurotransmitters. Because of this, they are incredibly addictive. Some opioid addictions develop after long-term prescription drug use or when used illegally, often in dangerous doses. After an extended period of time, the brain becomes dependent on the drug, commonly leading to substance abuse.

How Does Opioid Addiction Affect the Brain and Body?

Despite opioids’ ability to offer pain relief, they come with a lengthy list of severe risks and side effects.

Common side effects of opioids:
  • Fatigue and drowsiness
  • Dizziness
  • Constipation
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Euphoria
Uncommon side effects of opioids:
  • Muscle rigidity
  • Delayed gastric emptying
  • Extreme response to pain (hyperalgesia)
  • Immune system and hormonal dysfunction
  • Muscle twitches and jerks (myoclonus)
  • Confusion
  • Risks of falling into a coma
  • Slowed breathing
Adverse effects of long-term and opioid misuse:
  • Euphoria
  • Paranoia
  • Bloating
  • Slowed breathing and heart rate
  • Liver damage
  • Brain damage
  • Physical dependence and opioid use disorder
  • Respiratory depression (lung failure)
  • Opioid overdose
