Opioids are a class of drugs which have morphine like
effects and are widely prescribed for the patients suffering from chronic pain
after a major surgery or injury. Morphine and codeine are the two most common
opioids and are widely grown in southern Asia.
Opioids change the way the brain responds to not just pain
but any other stimuli. It basically produces a “high” feeling by activating the
'pleasure' centers of the brain. These drugs bring a variety of physical as
well as emotional effects on the blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature
and respiration by disrupting the pain.
Unfortunately, this temporary sense of euphoria creates a
sense of addiction in individuals. With repeated use, it leads to physical and
psychological dependence, or as more commonly called opioid addiction.
Medically, any form of addiction is a chronic and relapsing
disease. And it has both physical and emotional side effects. Medical detox can
be the stepping stone for recovery however, people involved with the addicted
individual have to be very careful about the relapse of the condition. It may
increase the risk for a fatal overdose and has been one of the leading causes
of injury death in America. Counseling, education, individual as well as family
therapy can aid in preventing the overuse of the drugs.
