Opioids Used to Treat Chronic Pain. 1  Codeine -- Codeine is a pain medication that is taken by mouth. It is short-acting, meaning it lasts only for a few hours per dose. 2  Oxycodone -- Oxycodone is available in both a short-acting and long-acting pain medication form.
Opioid medications can be natural (made from the plant), semi-synthetic (modified in a lab from the plant), and fully synthetic (completely made by people). Prescription opioids usually come in pill form and are given to treat severe painâfor example, pain from dental surgery, serious sports injuries, or cancer. Opioids are also commonly prescribed to treat other kinds of pain that lasts a long time (chronic pain), but it is unclear if they are effective for long term pain.
