      Opioids are a class of drugs derived from the opium poppy (including synthetic variations) that are pain relievers with a high potential for misuse.

      Opioids are used to relieve pain, but they also cause an exaggerated sense of well-being and, if used too much, dependence and addiction.
      Taking too much of an opioid can be fatal, usually because breathing stops.
      Urine tests can be done to check for opioids.
      Treatment strategies include detoxification (stopping the drug), substitution (substituting another drug and gradually reducing its dose), and maintenance (substituting another drug that is taken indefinitely).
      Ongoing counseling and support are essential in all treatment strategies.
