Start simple, but...: Docusate (per pdr) helps moisten ; soften hard, dry stools. It is not a true laxative, but facilitates natural defecation, usually within 12 to 72 hours. This is safe ; available for anyone over 2, ; assumes normal GI anatomy without inflammation, stenosis, extrinsic or instrinsic obstruction. Opiate-induced constipation may need bigger guns, like linzess, relistor (methylnaltrexone). Can you cut down on narcotics?
