Codeine Addiction and Rehab Center

What is Codeine

Codeine is a drug designed to control pain that can’t be controlled by normal painkillers. Codeine belongs to a family called opioid analgesics. It is made from the opium poppy plant and acts directly on opioid receptors in the brain, thus blocking the natural pain pathway. Codeine can be used alone, but the best results are seen when it is used in combination with aspirin or other NSAIDs. It is available in oral and IV forms.
