Opiates include a variety of drugs. The most well known is heroin (diacetylmorphine) which is a particularly lipid soluble form of morphine which quickly crosses the blood-brain barrier to produce a rapid effect. Other well known opiates are codeine, oxycodone (brand names Oxycontin, Percocet), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), hydrocodone (Vicodin), fentanyl (Duragesic), meperidine (Demerol), buprenorphine (Subutex, Suboxone) and methadone.
