Abstract: This paper looks into SAMHSA's Medication Treatment Program for opioids to review its processes and impact.

2. Introduction that provides some information about program evaluation and the treatment center of your choice.

Introduction - Opioids are chemical substances that impact on our brain's opioid receptors to decrease the feeling of pain. They are found naturally in some plants and animals or can be developed synthetically. There are illegal opioid substances like heroin and opium and the natural occurring morphine (that is utilized in medicine where the use is legally regulated). There are also the synthetic versions that are available by prescription to suppress symptoms and for those undergoing treatment like fentanyl, oxycidine, codeine and hydrocodone. According to the NIH (2017), "These drugs are chemically related and interact with opioid receptors on nerve cells in the body and brain. Opioid pain relievers are generally safe when taken for a short time and as prescribed by a doctor, but because they produce euphoria in addition to pain relief, they can be misused (taken in a different way or in a larger quantity than prescribed, or taken without a doctor's prescription). Regular use—even as prescribed by a doctor—can lead to dependence and, when misused, opioid pain relievers can lead to overdose incidents and deaths." Dependence and abuse of these drugs, especially the illegal variety (heroin) is a reality in society and can lead to tragic consequences for so many.
