In this review I summarize current knowledge about astrocytic role in development of opioid addiction. I have shown general characteristics of astrocytes, their role and distribution. Moreover, I have characterized opioids and their receptors. I have defined a terms 'tolerance' and 'withdrawal'. Next, I have focussed on pain suppressive effects of opioid drugs. I have taken into consideration factors which has influence on their widespread effects on the brain, doses of opioids, routes of their administration and physicochemical properties of opioids. I have described theories and hypotheses, which can suggest astrocytic role in induction of tolerance and addictions. I have shown the mechanisms underlying the opioid withdrawal induced pain...
