The depressant Methadone is an opioid. Correct answer: B Opioids are depressant drugs, which means they slow down the messages travelling between the brain and the rest of the body.

Methadone is a synthetic opioid used as a replacement for heroin, but also to relieve pain following heart attacks, trauma and surgery.
