Yes it can ...: addiction to opioids weakens many systems within the body, including the immune, hormones, nerves, heart, circulation. Besides that, you could still get pregnant without having periods. I would recommend that you visit http://www.abam.net/find-a-doctor/ to find an addictionologist who can help you.
