Fentanyl Detox

Why Choose a Medical Detox off of Fentanyl?

Fentanyl—a significant contributor to the opioid crisis—is a powerful synthetic opioid. It is readily available on the streets because it is cheap to manufacture and up to 50 times more potent than heroin. In many cases, people do not even realize the drug they are purchasing contains deadly Fentanyl.

Fentanyl addiction can occur after only a few uses, and withdrawal is painful. That’s why the Coleman Institute created an outpatient rapid Fentanyl Detox treatment. Our outpatient Fentanyl Detox has a 98% completion rate and can be finished in as little as 5-6 days.

How Does Fentanyl Use Become an Addiction?

Many patients within healthcare facilities become dependent on or addicted to Fentanyl by accident. They may have been given Fentanyl by a physician after an accident, surgery, or other condition that has caused chronic pain, and took their medicine as prescribed. But even after taking the prescribed synthetic opioid for a short period, they can become dependent on it.

Even those using street opioids like heroin can find themselves dependent on or addicted to Fentanyl. This is because it is so powerful and cheap to manufacture that many street drugs have been cut with, or even replaced by Fentanyl. This dangerous, highly addictive opioid often becomes a new addiction for those already suffering from a dependence on opioids.

Facts About Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is driving the recent increase in opioid-related deaths and cases of Substance Use Disorder (SUD). The Opioid Crisis has already caused enormous waves of suffering due to overdoses, broken families, and nation-wide emotional upheaval, with an economic toll estimated to be $78 billion per year.

There are various reasons for the rise of Fentanyl use and dependence in the U.S. Perhaps the most impactful is that it is less expensive than heroin and much more potent, making it easier to produce, smuggle, and store. Many individuals using heroin, cocaine, opioids, benzodiazepines, and even marijuana do not realize that the drugs they have purchased on the black—or gray—market contain Fentanyl. A lot of our detox patients are stunned that we detect Fentanyl in their urine.
