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.

Narcotics is the name for a catagorie of drugs. Particularly those that come from the poppy plant better known by the name Opiates. Any types of opiate is considered a narcotic. Drugs like opium, heroin, oxyconten, methadone, morphine, are just a few examples of narcotic drugs. Some are synthetic and some natural opiates that have been altered to create different drugs with different affects. As you can see there are some pain killers that are considered to be narcotics. Not all pain killers are narcotics because this depends souly on what they are made with. All narcotic drus are addicting and put you at risk of addiction as well as several other health problems.
