An Opioid is a class of drugs that includes both natural and synthetic substances derived from the opium poppy plant. These drugs primarily act on the central nervous system by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, spinal cord, and other areas of the body, reducing the perception of pain. They can also cause intense euphoria or intense high that can lead to dependence or addiction, whether the drug ingested is heroin or a legally prescribed drug. Opioid overdose effects include severe depression of the respiratory system, potentially causing respiratory arrest, coma, and death. Opioid dependence and withdrawals is characterized by constricted nausea, mental confusion, drowsiness, severe sweats and constipation. How to protect yourself, your family and our community: Talk to your kids Use safe storage Dispose leftover prescription medication Talk to your doctor Don't take opioids with alcohol and other medications Ask for help Know what to do in an overdose emergency Brochures: Opioid Facts Matter Darius Ford Young Adult Leader Contact Phone: (707) 472-2287 email: yal@coyotevalley-nsn.gov Darius Ford Events No events scheduled
