Opioid drug addiction commonly occurs when a patient is legally prescribed pain killers and becomes dependent even when using the drugs as prescribed. The genetic makeup of each individual affects how that person’s body processes the drug and can make some patients more likely to develop addiction. Opioid pain killers (often incorrectly called opiates) include legal prescription drugs containing Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Codeine, Meperidine, Propoxyphene, Fentanyl, and Morphine.* Heroin is an illegal opioid drug.
