Facts on Opioids
National Institute of Drug Abuse
Opioids are commonly prescribed to relieve pain. They are often prescribed by
doctors after surgery or to help patients with severe acute or chronic pain. Studies
have shown that if taken exactly as prescribed by a medical professional, opioids
are safe, can manage pain effectively, and rarely cause addiction. The problem
occurs when they are abused.
