Can opiates stuff up your brain? Psychosis, dementia etc

Hi I am just wondering if anybody has any information suggesting that using opiates over the long term can cause any severe mental problems such as psychosis, severe memory problems, dementia etc?

I know addiction can cause compulsive behavior and cravings etc, but can it destroy your mind? If it does cause damage to your brain, what would it be like say compared to significant alcoholism or any other drug?
