What is an "opioid"?
An opioid is a type of medication used to relieve pain. Opioids work by attaching to specific receptors in the brain and body to reduce the intensity of pain signals reaching the brain. These medications can be made from the poppy plant or produced artificially in laboratories. Opioids can also have a calming effect on the body and may cause drowsiness or feelings of intense excitement and happiness, which can lead to their misuse or addiction if not used as prescribed.
