As you start to plan for recovery, remember that you deserve support and care with the right resource you can begin to create a meaningful and sustainable life. Opioids are a class of drugs that interact with the body’s opioid receptors, reducing pain and inducing euphoria. Commonly prescribed for acute and chronic pain management, opioids include medications such as morphine, oxycodone, and fentany. Despite their therapeutic value in controlled settings, opioids carry a high risk of dependency, particularly when misused for non-medical purposes.
