Fentanyl addiction is a severe and life-threatening condition caused by the misuse of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Originally developed for medical pain management, illicitly manufactured fentanyl has contributed to a significant rise in overdose deaths. Even small amounts can lead to dependence, overdose, and fatal consequences.
What is a drug and fentanyl evaluation?
A drug and fentanyl evaluation is a professional assessment designed to determine the severity of fentanyl addiction and create an effective treatment plan. At Alliance Treatment Center, we provide comprehensive evaluations to help individuals take the first step toward overcoming opioid dependence. Common signs of fentanyl addiction include:
Fentanyl is one of the most potent opioids, making detox both challenging and critical for recovery. Due to its extreme potency and high risk of overdose, medically supervised detox is essential to manage withdrawal symptoms safely and reduce the risk of relapse.
Our team performs a detailed evaluation of your health, fentanyl use patterns, and withdrawal risks to develop a customized and safe detox plan.
If required, medications like buprenorphine or naloxone are administered to reduce cravings, manage severe withdrawal symptoms such as nausea and sweating, and prevent complications.
Continuous monitoring by medical professionals ensures a stable detox, addressing intense symptoms like respiratory distress or agitation promptly to ensure safety.
Fentanyl withdrawal can lead to dehydration and nutritional deficiencies—our team provides IV fluids, vitamins, and balanced meals to support physical recovery and stabilize your body.
One of the most common questions people ask is, “how long does it take to detox from fentanyl?” The timeline varies based on factors such as the duration of use, dosage, individual metabolism, and overall health. Fentanyl withdrawal can begin within 8 to 24 hours after the last dose, peak in 2 to 4 days, and gradually subside over 1 to 2 weeks. However, psychological cravings and post-acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS) can persist for months, requiring ongoing care.
While fentanyl withdrawal can be extremely difficult and dangerous without medical support, professional treatment can help manage symptoms and improve long-term recovery success. Inner Light Recovery offers medically supervised detox programs to ensure safety and comfort during fentanyl withdrawal, along with ongoing treatment to help individuals regain control of their lives.
