Detailed explanation-1: -Too much opioid use can cause your brain to rely on these artificial endorphins. Once your brain does this, it can even stop producing its own endorphins. The longer you use opioids, the more likely this is to happen. You also will need more opioids over time because of drug tolerance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Opioids are highly addictive, in large part because they activate powerful reward centers in your brain. Opioids trigger the release of endorphins, your brain’s feel-good neurotransmitters. Endorphins muffle your perception of pain and boost feelings of pleasure, creating a temporary but powerful sense of well-being.
Detailed explanation-3: -Their non-medical use, prolonged use, misuse and use without medical supervision can lead to opioid dependence and other health problems. Due to their pharmacological effects, opioids can cause breathing difficulties, and opioid overdose can lead to death.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, long-term use of opioids causes changes to the prefrontal cortex and medial temporal lobe of the brain. These areas of the brain affect nearly every aspect of life, from social interactions to the way we process and store memories.
Detailed explanation-5: -Opioids attach to proteins called opioid receptors on nerve cells in the brain, spinal cord, gut, and other parts of the body. When this happens, the opioids block pain messages sent from the body through the spinal cord to the brain.
