Another government webpage defines <a href="https://rxchat.com/Drugs/Fentanyl/" target="_blank">Fentanyl</a> as a synthetic <a href="https://rxchat.com/Categories/Pain-Relief/" target="_blank">opioid</a> (not opiate). <br/> <br/> So in hopes to clear up any confusion, I thought I'd do a little research on the differences between an opiate vs an <a href="https://rxchat.com/Categories/Pain-Relief/" target="_blank">opioid</a>. I think you'll find that the details linked below hit the nail right on the head: <br/> <a href="http://www.naabt.org/faq_answers.cfm?ID=3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">naabt.org/faq_answers.cfm?ID=3</a> <br/> <br/> Hope this helps!
