Opioids act on neurotransmitters in our body known as endorphins. What is the purpose of endorphins? How do opioids act on endorphins? How do opioids lead to addiction?

Endorphins: naturally occurring neurotransmitter in the body that exists to dampen pain signal from injury

Opioids mimic endorphins by acting on the same receptor they do. However, they flood and overstimulate those receptors. After this, your body becomes dependent as it can no longer receive pleasure from naturally occurring endorphins.
