Opioids are natural or synthetic chemicals that reduce feelings of pain and are highly addictive narcotic substances commonly referred to as pain killers.

Our bodies build a tolerance for opioids, which means we have to take more to get the same effects with longer term use. Tolerance to opioids can lead to physical dependency, addiction, abuse, and overdose.
