By binding to opioid receptors and block pain signals that are sent to the brain

Answer 1

Opioids work primarily by binding to specific receptors in the brain, spinal cord, and other areas of the body known as opioid receptors. By binding to these receptors, opioids block the transmission of pain signals to the brain and alter the perception of pain. They can also produce feelings of euphoria, which can lead to their misuse and addiction.
