An opioid disorder is caused by multiple reasons such as environment, genes, lifestyle, and the effects of opioid use on the brain. But the most significant influence is your brain’s reaction to the drugs. Opioids block pain and create artificial endorphins that increase feeling good. When too much opioid is consumed, your brain relies on artificial endorphins. In turn, your body and mind can’t function without the drugs.
