California Addiction Treatment
Fentanyl Drug Rehab in Los Angeles
At 90210 Recovery, we offer fentanyl addiction treatment programs in Los Angeles. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid commonly prescribed for pain relief that has been making headlines due to its overdose potential and popularity among heroin users. The drug is used to treat severe pain in patients, like advanced stages of cancer.
As an opioid, fentanyl belongs to the same category of drugs as substances like heroin, oxycodone, and morphine. Like most of those drugs, Fentanyl is extremely addictive and deadly.
Fentanyl Overdoses
Fentanyl has gained popularity in mainstream media due to its high risk for overdose.
Recreational users and illicit drug suppliers tend to “cut” heroin with Fentanyl as a way to increase their profits and the potency of the drug. That’s because smaller doses of Fentanyl can be extremely potent and cheaper to procure than heroin.
The drug is estimated to be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine and much stronger than heroin making it an ideal cut for illicit drug dealers. So much so that Fentanyl is also commonly used to cut cocaine and methamphetamine.
But, the same potency of Fentanyl is also what places users at risk as just tiny changes in the amount of Fentanyl an addict consumes could mean the difference between life and death. If Fentanyl is not uniformly distributed with heroin, then users can risk overdosing. In fact, overdose deaths are more often caused by Fentanyl than any other synthetic opioids.
In 2021, there were more than 70,000 overdose deaths caused by synthetic opioids, with Fentanyl being the number one driver of them. In most cases, overdoses caused by fentanyl are caused by illicitly manufactured fentanyl rather than prescription medications.
The inconsistent strength of the drug makes it extremely difficult for users to gauge its strength, which increases the risk of overdose and death. When fentanyl is taken in high doses, it causes a severe and rapid decrease in the user’s breathing rate, which can lead to respiratory failure and death.
