I checked out the "separation" technique for isolating opioids from other analgesics like acetaminophen. I won't post details here, but (even though I was wrong about dangerous solvents), it really doesn't appear safe. If you're just doing it to remove acetaminophen etc., you could easily get it wrong unless you're an experienced chemist. If you're doing it to get high (using lots of pills) you might poison youself. And, if you're using a painkiller that contains caffeine, you could wind up gettting a concentrated dose of that from multiple pills, since the method employed concentrates caffeine as well as opioids.
Again, this approach seems risky unless you're a skilled chemist.
