Opioids are a class of drugs that include the illegal drug heroin, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, and pain relievers available legally by prescription, such as oxycodone (OxyContin), hydrocodone (Vicodin), codeine, morphine, and many others. (National Institute on Drug Abuse).
While opioids can be a great tool when used as prescribed, they can cause devastating damage when used incorrectly.
