An opioid is a natural or synthetic morphine-like product extracted from the poppy plant, according to Holland and Adams. This type of narcotic can be found in schedule II and III of the DEA's classifications. Opioids can stop the awareness of pain, per the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This class of drug has an increased potential for abuse because it can be obtained legally, says Holland and Adams. Pain medications are the highest abused type of prescription medication, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Opioid drugs include propoxyphene, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, methadone, hydromorphone, morphine, fentanyl, buprenorphine butorphanol, heroin and meperidine.
