Fentanyl is a synthetic pharmaceutical drug, it is an opioid pain reliever (OPR) more than 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Fentanyl is generally used to relieve severe pain. It is sometimes prescribed after surgery or during cancer treatment.
Fentanyl is available in many forms including an oral lozenge, a patch, as an injectable, as a sublingual spray, as a dissolvable tablet and as a nasal spray. Fentanyl blocks pain receptors inside of the brain and increases levels of dopamine, creating a feeling of happiness in users.
Fentanyl Abuse
In 2016, Fentanyl became the drug involved in the most overdose deaths in the United States. Fentanyl started to become used illegally as a recreational drug in the 1970’s and continues to be used since then. The biological effects of fentanyl are similar to heroin, only with less of a euphoric effect and more of a sedative effect.
Often times fentanyl is mixed into heroin or cocaine. In some cases users may not even know they are taking fentanyl. Non-medical fentanyl is especially dangerous to people without a tolerance to opioids. The heavy risk of overdosing is multiplied when taken by someone without an opioid tolerance, which is why fentanyl overdose is so common.
Signs of Fentanyl Addiction
When taking fentanyl, the brain produces a heavy amount of dopamine. Over time this can alter the chemical structure of the brain, leading to complications and a neurological dependency on the drug. Once a user develops a tolerance to fentanyl they will become reliant on the drug in order to feel like their normal self. Once someone become reliant on fentanyl they will require more and more of the drug as their addiction progresses. Opioids can escalate from abuse into addiction rapidly.

Important Steps to Addiction Rehabilitation
Treatment Programs
“Inpatient” then means that the patient needs to be admitted to an addiction treatment center for therapy and detox, typically because he/she needs to be closely monitored.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are treatment programs used to address addictions, depression, eating disorders, or other dependencies that do not require detoxification or round-the-clock supervision.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, which is effective in the treatment of opioid use disorders (OUD) and can help some people to sustain recovery.
Outpatient rehab is a form of alcohol or drug rehabilitation that allows patients to live at home (or in another safe and therapeutic environment, such as sober living)
Partial hospitalization provides a structured program of outpatient psychiatric services as an alternative to inpatient psychiatric care.
Sober living houses (SLHs) are alcohol and drug free living environments for individuals attempting to abstain from alcohol and drugs
A men’s rehab program is dedicated to helping men overcome drug and alcohol addiction.
Through gender-specific treatment, Redemption Addiction Treatment Center helps address key issues and obstacles that women face in their early recovery.
