Opiate addiction is a serious problem that has been in society for centuries but has showed up even more so today. An opiate is a drug that is derived from the opium poppy plant. Some examples of opiates are morphine, heroin, and codeine. We commonly see opiates in their synthetic forms such as Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, and Hydromorphone. Examples of synthetic opiates are Darvon, Demerol, and Methadone. All of these drugs are used by doctors to treat serious pain from injuries. Opiates are effective in suppressing pain and reducing anxiety cause by it. In high doses they can produce a euphoric state which is one of the main causes of opiate addiction. Physical and psychological dependence that leads to addiction is common in opiate users. Your body quickly adjusts to the use of opiates and larger doses are needed to produce the same euphoric effect. This is a dangerous side effect and it will cause you to overdose because you may take more than their body can handle and it would result in respiratory failure.

Effects of Opiate Addiction

Physical effects that opiates produce are dry mouth, muscle spasticity, shallow or slow breathing, stomach and intestinal spasms, pupil dilation, diminished mental capacity, drowsiness, and disorientation. A common effect of the opiate addict is the coming in and out of consciousness. People suffering with an opiate addiction become emotionally detached and dependents of addicts are often neglected and abused. Someone suffering from an opiate addiction may have a difficult time reporting to their jobs and even keeping them. Since an addict cannot function without the drug, looking for it and finding ways to pay for it become their full time job. An opiate user usually cannot support their habit on their own and that usually results in criminal behavior such as stealing.
