FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Learn what you need to know about Fentanyl
Fentanyl is a strong opioid analgesic that is much the same as morphine but it is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Fentanyl is reserved for use in the setting of chronic pain that is resistant to other analgesics such as cancer pain or pain after surgery. In short, it’s used to combat serious and debilitating pain.
Fentanyl like heroin and morphine works by acting on the opioid receptors present in the brain that regulate pain and emotions. To summarize, fentanyl works just as other opioids, just way more potent and way more addictive. Fentanyl users find out how addictive it is relatively quickly.
Fentanyl is a schedule II controlled drug that is approved by the FDA. Being a schedule II drug means that Fentanyl has significant potential for abuse and can lead to severe physical and psychological addiction.
Fentanyl was used medically for serious and painful conditions like cancer.
Now, fentanyl is widely being used recreationally. Most of the time, fentanyl comes in small blue pills which are replicas of real medication.
More recently, it’s starting to come in bright colors, which is concerning to the DEA because it appears as if the idea is to target younger adults and perhaps even teens.
Fentanyl interferes with the reward center in the brain and is therefore highly addictive as it creates a feeling of euphoria due to the release of dopamine and inhibition of pain signaling.
As a fentanyl rehab, we’ve seen all the signs of a fentanyl addiction. If you’re using and not sure if you qualify as addicted, here’s the signs you need to look out for.
