What are opioids?
Opioids are a class of drugs found in the poppy plant that work in the brain to produce a variety of effects, including the relief of pain. Opioids can range from prescription medications to street drugs, such as heroin. They are highly addictive and account for more than 70,000 deaths a year in the U.S. Approximately 4% of those deaths occur in Pennsylvania.
Some of the most common types of opioid are:
- Opium
- Heroin
- Codeine
- Oxycodone
- Hydrocodone
- Tramadol
- Morphine
- Hydromorphone

Signs of opioid abuse:
Many opioid addictions start while attempting to manage pain. The issue develops as it takes more and more of the drug to satisfy the pain as well as the new arising cravings it creates. It is important to be mindful and take note of these symptoms. If your pain is persisting, physical therapy paired with medical cannabis and CBD are a wonderful and highly effective alternative.
