She is 21. Dropped out of college. Thinks Covid is the worst thing ever and recently got a booster shot. The issue is she is in a lot of pain from another problem (too much to explain here) and the pain meds they are giving here is Opioids. She is taking 6 to 8 a day and im worried she is becoming and addict. She claims the pain is so bad she can barely get out of bed, which is her excuse for not working. But I know she goes out fine and hangs with her BF on a norm. I just fear for her mental and physical health. It feels like the enemy owns my daughter.

THIS. Make every effort to assist her in getting off the opioids. I can personally attest - they CAUSE the pain. Once 'on' them, getting 'off' is painful, sometimes for weeks as your body re-calibrates what it thinks pain is in absence of the opioid. The longer you take them, the longer it will take to get away from them.
I've seen several surgeons and pain specialists, over more than a decade - NOT ONE explained this to me. I had to piece it together from others on the internet and my own experiences. Only recently did I muster the strength to get completely off the meds. It took nearly 3 months of slowly taking less and less - cutting the pills into fractions and stretching each next dose just a bit longer apart.
I pray that God helps you free your daughter from this evil - all things are possible thru Him.
