What is Opioid?

What is Opioid?

Opioids, also known as narcotics, are a type of drug that can help reduce pain. These natural or synthetic drugs work by interacting with nerve cells to dull pain. Healthcare providers usually prescribe them for moderate to severe pain. Many opioid medications are FDA-approved for pain management, ensuring they are safe for short-term use when prescribed correctly.

However, opioids can be addictive because, along with relieving pain, they can also create a feeling of euphoria. Over time, people may need higher doses to feel the same effect, which can lead to opioid use disorder. To help prevent addiction, healthcare providers have adjusted how they prescribe opioids, focusing on shorter durations and lower doses.

How Opioid Addiction Develops

Opioid addiction develops when someone starts using opioids more often, even if it leads to problems in their life.
  • Initial use: Someone starts using opioids to manage pain or for other reasons, even if it causes minor issues in their life.
  • Increased use: Over time, they begin using opioids more often. This could be due to developing a tolerance, meaning they need more of the drug to feel the same effect.
  • Developing a tolerance: As the body gets used to the drug, higher doses are needed to achieve the same euphoria or relief, which can lead to using opioids more frequently.
  • Craving and desire: The person starts feeling a strong urge to keep using opioids, even though they might harm their health, job, or relationships.
  • Withdrawal symptoms: When they try to stop using the drug, the body reacts with withdrawal symptoms like nausea, anxiety, and pain, making it difficult to quit.
  • Cycle of misuse: The desire to avoid withdrawal symptoms keeps the person using opioids, leading to a repeating cycle of misuse.
  • Long-term addiction: Over time, the addiction becomes more entrenched, leading to serious consequences like overdose, physical and mental health issues, and possible damage to relationships or careers.
  • Increased risk: Addiction carries a greater risk of overdose and disability if not properly addressed.

Signs & Symptoms of Opioid Addiction

Signs & Symptoms of Opioid Addiction

“Opioid” is an umbrella of compounds that interact with opioid receptors in the body. These receptors are located in the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. When opioids are used, they can affect these functions in various ways. Common symptoms of opioid addiction or misuse may include:
  • Pain
  • Mood
  • Stress
  • Reward
  • Gastrointestinal functions
  • Breathing (respiration)
  • Euphoria or a feeling of intense pleasure
  • Drowsiness or sedation
  • Slowed breathing
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Constipation
  • Confusion or difficulty concentrating
  • Loss of coordination
  • Itching or skin rash
  • Shallow or irregular breathing
If opioids are used inappropriately, these effects can become dangerous and lead to addiction, overdose, or other serious health risks. Seeking the right opioid addiction treatment is necessary.
