Opioids are potent painkillers and highly addictive drugs. As a
group, opioids include heroin, as well as prescription
medications such as fentanyl, oxycodone (Oxycontin®),
hydrocodone (Vicodin®), morphine, and codeine.
Opioids are so powerful that it’s easy to take a dose large
enough to stop your heart unknowingly. This makes them
especially dangerous when addiction leads to taking
progressively higher doses.
