Do You Need Fentanyl Rehab?

Fentanyl is the strongest prescription opioid available, with a potency 100 times that of morphine. Unfortunately, it is also becoming more and more common in illegal drug markets, and many dealers add fentanyl to other drugs without informing their customers. As a result, you may develop a fentanyl addiction without even realizing it, and opiate addictions are some of the most difficult to overcome.

Fentanyl produces a range of physical effects, including:

  • Drowsiness
  • Nausea
  • Confusion
  • Constipation
  • Trouble breathing
  • Unconsciousness

You Don’t Have to Face This Alone

Whether you’re seeking help for yourself or a loved one, recovery starts with a simple phone call. One conversation can be the turning point.

Doctors sometimes prescribe fentanyl to help patients manage severe pain, especially after surgery and in cases of advanced cancer pain. Brands of prescription fentanyl include:

  • Actiq®
  • Duragesic®
  • Sulimaze®

Because fentanyl is so potent, many illegal drug laboratories have found ways to replicate it. Street names for fentanyl include:

  • Apache
  • China Girl
  • China White
  • Dance Fever
  • Friend
  • Goodfellas
  • Murder 8
  • Jackpot
  • Tango & Cash

Often, dealers sell illegal fentanyl as a powder, in eye droppers and nasal sprays, or as pills that look like other prescription opioids.

Many drug dealers mix fentanyl with other drugs, like cocaine and heroin, because it’s cheap and produces a stronger high. This is extremely dangerous because opioids are riskier when combined with other drugs. Fentanyl’s strength can easily lead to overdose, particularly with individuals who have not taken fentanyl before or are unaware they are taking the drug.

People become addicted to Fentanyl because it binds to the parts of your brain that control pain and emotions, relieving physical and emotional pain and producing feelings of extreme happiness and sedation. When you take fentanyl for a long period of time, however, it can be difficult to experience pleasure from any other source, which leads to addiction.

Too much fentanyl can lead to an overdose, and a fentanyl overdose can cause your breathing to slow or stop. If you stop breathing because of fentanyl use, your brain will not receive oxygen, which leads to hypoxia. Hypoxia can cause permanent brain damage, comas, and death.

North Georgia Recovery Center offers various treatment programs, including outpatient options, to accommodate different schedules. If you have work or school commitments, we can discuss a program that allows you to continue your responsibilities while receiving the addiction treatment you need.
