Explain what opiates are and why they are dangerous.

Opioids are a broad group of pain-relieving drugs that work by interacting with opioid receptors in your cells.  What makes opioid medications effective for treating pain can also make them dangerous.  At lower doses, opioids may make you feel sleepy, but higher doses can slow your breathing and heart rate, which can lead to death. And the feelings of pleasure that result from taking an opioid can make you want to continue experiencing those feelings, which may lead to addiction.
