Fentanyl

San Bernardino County Fentanyl Detox

24/7 Helpline Ready to Take Your Call

Fentanyl is an extreme synthetic opioid known for being stronger than morphine and is used to help treat patients who experience severe chronic pain. Fentanyl is a prescription drug, also known as Actiq, that often becomes a recreational drug due to its extremely high potency and small amount needed. It is one of the most common drugs used in overdose deaths.

Fentanyl binds to receptors of the brain that control pain and emotions. The more a person uses, the more the brain adapts to the drug, making it difficult for the person to feel pleasure. Some effects of fentanyl include:

  • Drowsiness
  • Breathing problems
  • Constipation
  • Confusion
  • Extreme happiness
  • Sedation


Fentanyl Withdrawal Symptoms

Stopping fentanyl usage suddenly can result in various complications, many occurring within a few hours after the last dose:

  • Anxiety
  • Excessive sweating
  • Cold flashes
  • Cravings
  • Difficult sleeping patterns
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Tremors

Withdrawal Medication for Fentanyl

Various medications are used during medical detox to keep clients comfortable as they move through the process. Some include:

  • Naltrexone: Blocks out the opioid receptors which prevents the effect of fentanyl
  • Methadone: Helps subdue drug cravings and withdrawal symptoms
  • Buprenorphine: Helps curb withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings

Is Detoxing from Fentanyl at Home Safe?

No, detoxing from fentanyl at home is not safe. Let us help find a detox facility that will help ease the transition. Detoxing from fentanyl can cause severe dehydration from vomiting, diarrhea, and other effects. As a result, a person undergoing detox must be monitored by medically trained staff.
