Fentanyl Treatment and Withdrawal
Fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, is a leading driver of the nationwide drug addiction and overdose epidemic. It has infiltrated the illegal drug market, often disguised as other substances.
Celebrate Hope’s experienced drug counselors understand the complexities of fentanyl addiction and have developed a treatment program that integrates medical and spiritual approaches.
How Fentanyl Impacts the Brain and Body
Fentanyl works by binding to the brain’s opioid receptors, found in areas that control pain and emotions. It boosts dopamine levels, producing a state of euphoria and relaxation. Your risk of addiction will increase as your brain adapts to the drug and your tolerance builds.
Quitting fentanyl is challenging due to the intense withdrawal symptoms that can set in as your body reacts to the absence of the drug. Since fentanyl affects the central nervous system, withdrawal can disrupt multiple functions.
- Severe cravings: Fentanyl’s psychological grip is strong, leading to intense cravings that can drive relapse.
- Muscle and joint pain: Physical pain can become pronounced as opioids leave your body during detoxification.
- Sleep disturbances: Insomnia and restlessness are common during withdrawal.
- Gastrointestinal distress: Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
- Mood swings and depression: Withdrawal often has a severe emotional impact, leading to anxiety, irritability and depression.
- Flu-like symptoms: Many people experience sweating, fever and chills.
