An antagonist is a drug that blocks opioids by attaching to the opioid receptors without activating them. Antagonists cause no opioid effect and block full agonist opioids. Examples are naltrexone and naloxone. Current medication examples include: Full opioid agonist Methadone; Partial opioid agonist Buprenorphine
The agonist-antagonist opioid analgesics are a very interesting group of drugs with unique properties. Unlike pure opioid agonists (e.g

by C Westmoreland 2024 Cited by 6Opioid agonists-antagonists are defined as opioids with mixed actions. These drugs include agents with agonist-antagonist properties.
Examples of full agonists are heroin, oxycodone, methadone Partial opioid agonist/antagonist – Buprenorphine/Naloxone; Opioid Antagonist
Structural analogs of agonist molecules frequently have agonist and antagonist properties; such drugs are called partial (low-efficacy) agonists, or agonist-antagonists. For example, pentazocine activates opioid receptors but blocks their activation by other opioids.
Opioid drugs may be classified as agonists (receptor activators [full or partial]), antagonists (receptor blockers) or mixed agonist-antagonists.

Maybe put some heroin, meth, or opioids in the next story. Ain’t nothing more white trash than that opioid shit.
