Are Hallucinations Normal In A Person Taking Morphine And Oxycodone For Broken Back And Neck?

My adult grandson fell and broke his back & neck a year ago & is wheelchair bound. He has taken oxycolone (sp.)
& morphine untill he started having hallucinations & went to rehab for the last 2 months. He is still having these
hallucinations. Will this drug cause these & how long will they last?
