What are "feel-good" drugs? How do they work?

Some drugs imitate the natural neurotransmitters, for example, narcotic pain relievers mimic the effects of endorphins, which are the body's natural “feel-good” chemicals. Such drugs are known as "feel-good" drugs on the street. In one way or another, almost all drugs overstimulate the pleasure center of the brain, flooding it with the dopamine. This produces euphoria, and that heightened pleasure can be so compelling that the brain wants that feeling back again and again.
