You could also hear your doctor call it an opiate or a narcotic. These pain relievers are made from opium, which comes from the poppy plant. Morphine and codeine are the two natural products of opium.

Addiction is defined as a person being physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance where the user is unable to stop taking it for any length of time without experiencing adverse effects.
