Opiate painkillers work on nerve receptors in the brain to suppress pain, reduce anxiety and, in sufficient doses, produce euphoria. After any period of continual use, these receptors will adapt and begin to resist the drugs, calling for higher doses to produce the same effects. Furthermore, once the brain has adapted to the presence of these drugs, an individual will experience withdrawal symptoms when the drugs leave the body, as nerve receptors must readapt to their absence. These symptoms include agitation, anxiety, tremors, muscle aches, hot and cold flashes, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Many users take prescription painkillers solely for the intoxication they produce. They obtain them illegally or bend the law through a practice known as “doctor shopping.” where a patient will visit many different prescribing doctors to obtain a large supply of prescription drugs. However, even those taking prescription painkillers for legitimate pain management are at risk for addiction.
