Fentanyl Addiction Treatment

What Is Fentanyl?

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid pain medication. It is many times more potent than other opioids like heroin and morphine. Fentanyl was first introduced in the 1960s as a pain medication for cancer patients. It is now also used to treat other chronic pain conditions.

While there are medical uses for fentanyl, the drug is also produced and sold illegally. There have also been increasing reports that fentanyl has been found mixed with or sold as heroin. It is also made into counterfeit pills that are sold as other prescription opioids. With many using or unknowingly using fentanyl, the growing opioid crisis in the U.S. continues to grow.

Why Is Fentanyl Dangerous?

Fentanyl is a dangerous drug because of how potent it is. A small mistake in measuring the drug can be fatal. Fentanyl can also be deadly when it is mixed with other substances. The combination of fentanyl and alcohol, for example, can slow down a person’s breathing to the point of death.

People who use fentanyl illegally are also at risk of overdose because they don’t know the exact strength of the drug they are taking. Fentanyl is also often cut with other substances, which can increase the risk of overdose.
