Overcome fentanyl addiction with expert care
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid and one of the most dangerous drugs to exist. Even when it’s prescribed by a doctor, it should be taken carefully and strictly according to the doctor’s order.
Fentanyl works by blocking pain signals in the brain. Some people are prescribed fentanyl to help them alleviate pain after surgery or during cancer treatment. Because it’s so strong, fentanyl is highly addictive.
This may lead people to abuse fentanyl by taking too much of the drug, mixing it with other dangerous substances, and even taking fake or illicit fentanyl. As people take fentanyl, they gain a higher tolerance for it over a period of time, which doesn’t take very long. After a while, the user needs more of the drug to relieve their pain or experience other positive effects, such as relaxation or happiness.
