opioid information
Opioids are natural or synthetic chemicals that reduce feelings of pain. Opioids are a class of drugs that include pain relievers available legally by prescription such as oxycodone, hydrocodone (Vicodin), codeine, and morphine, as well as heroin and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. Anyone who takes prescription opioids can become addicted to them or develop a tolerance for physical dependence.
Thanks to the Arizona Department of Public Health, the Pinal County Sheriff's Office is able to provide Narcan, an overdose reversal nasal spray, free to the public without a prescription.
