Fentanyl Detox

Fentanyl Detox and Drug Addiction Treatment Program

Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is significantly more potent than heroin, presents a critical risk of overdose and severe addiction. Our Fentanyl detox program at Dunwoody Recovery Place is specifically designed to help individuals safely detox from fentanyl under medical supervision and to begin the journey towards a lasting recovery.

What Our Fentanyl Detox Consists Of

Our approach to fentanyl detoxification includes several key components:

Medical Supervision: Expert medical care around-the-clock to safely manage the severe withdrawal symptoms associated with fentanyl detox.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Utilizing FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine and methadone to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

Behavioral Therapies: Incorporating evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help modify the patient’s behavior and address the psychological impacts of addiction.

Peer Support Groups: Facilitating group sessions where individuals can share experiences and support each other in a structured environment.

Aftercare Planning: Developing personalized aftercare plans to support long-term sobriety, which may include ongoing therapy and support groups.

The Need for Fentanyl Detox

Due to its high potency, fentanyl binds very quickly to the brain’s opioid receptors, increasing the risk of addiction after just a few uses. This rapid onset of addiction makes professional detox essential for those seeking to overcome dependence on fentanyl.
