AB  - The  term  opioid  refers  to  any  drug  that  is  active  at  the  opioid  receptor;  while  opiates  refers  to  naturally  occurring  derivatives  of  the  opium  plant,  morphine,  and  codeine.  Narcotic  is  a  legal  term  and  generically  refers  to  any  drug  that  causes  sedation.  Emergency  physicians  commonly  utilize  opioids  as  analgesics  and  must  be  familiar  with  the  range  and  route  of  opioid  dosing,  as  well  as  the  appropriate  dose  and  indications  for  the  antidote  naloxone  to  reverse  excess  opioid  effects.
