Commonly, the terms 'opioid' and 'opiate' are used interchangeably, but they have notable differences. Opiates, like heroin, morphine, and codeine, are naturally derived from parts of the opium poppy plant. Despite being a natural substance, opiates are extremely addictive and can be misused and abused greatly, just like their opioid counterparts.
Opioids, on the other hand, include any substances, both natural and synthetic, that mimic the effects of opium and bind to the brain’s opioid receptors to relieve pain. This category includes drugs like oxycodone, methadone, and fentanyl, which are created in laboratories. While opiates are a type of opioid, not all opioids are opiates.
The endorphin-receptor system in the brain, where opioid receptors are located, is responsible for controlling pain, reward, and addictive behaviors. Both opioids and opiates function similarly by binding to these receptors, blocking pain, and producing a sense of pleasure or euphoria. However, they also induce the brain to produce more receptors, leading to increased dependency and addiction. This cycle begins a dangerous game of supply and demand, requiring larger amounts of these substances each time they are used.
The opioid crisis in the U.S. has become a national nightmare, with daily occurrences of opioid overdose. To address this, the ANR (Accelerated Neuro Regulation) treatment offers a solution by evaluating individuals and restoring their neurological and chemical balance to a pre-dependency state, effectively eliminating withdrawals and cravings.
