Opioids are a broad class of drugs that include natural, synthetic, and semi-synthetic substances primarily prescribed for pain relief. While medications such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and morphine can be highly effective when used as directed, they also pose a significant risk for misuse and dependence. Moreover, illicit opioids like heroin and illegally manufactured fentanyl further compound the crisis by contributing to skyrocketing overdose deaths. These substances work by binding to receptors in the brain and reducing pain, but they also boost dopamine levels to create a fleeting sense of euphoria that can quickly lead to compulsive use and addiction.
