What are Opioids?
What are
Opioids?
Found in the opium poppy plant, opioids are a class of drugs that produce a variety of effects after they impact the brain, including pain relief, which is why so many opioids are prescription medications. Many prescription opioids are prescribed to block the pain signals between the brain and body, but they can also bring about feelings of relaxation or a high that can be addictive.

Opioids can be natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic. Though opioids and opiates are terms that are often used interchangeably, they technically refer to different types of drugs. Opioids can refer to all types of opioids, while opiates refer to natural opioids.
Common types of opioids include:
- Heroin (an opiate)
- Oxycodone
- Methadone
- Fentanyl
- Hydrocodone
- Meperidine
Though these drugs are commonly referred to as painkillers, they don’t fall under the same category as relatively harmless painkillers that can be sold over-the-counter, like aspirin and Tylenol. Some of these opioids are prescribed, but many, like heroin, are known as street drugs and sold illegally.
Regular use of opioids, even if prescribed by a medical professional, can lead to dependence and addiction. As of 2017, more than 47,000 Americans died from an opioid overdose, which is a common risk among users struggling with addiction.
