Into Action - Codeine Addiction

Having access to pain medication is important for those who struggle with mild, moderate, or severe pain. Opioids, such as codeine, are well-known for their ability to treat such pain. Codeine is an opioid that has been around for many years to help reduce mild to moderate pain. You may be more familiar with codeine as an ingredient in cough syrup, as it is also a cough suppressant. When taken as prescribed, codeine does a good job at reducing pain signals from the nervous system to the brain, helping you feel less pain.

However, as an opioid, codeine is considered an addictive drug especially if you misuse or abuse it. Though it may not be as strong as opioids like hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl, or morphine, it is still addictive.
