How it works

Opioids bind to and activate opiod receptors on cells located in many areas of the brain, spinal cord and other organs in the body, especially those involved in feelings of pain and pleasure.

When they attach to these receptors, they block pain signals sent from the brain to the body and release large amounts of dopamine throughout the body.

This release can strongly reinforce the act of taking the drug
