Fentanyl Addiction Treatment
Drug overdose deaths among young adults are on the rise in recent years, and fentanyl is primarily to blame. A synthetic drug up to 100 times more potent than morphine, fentanyl is highly addictive, dangerous, and increasingly mixed with other drugs. If you are a drug user of any type, you are at risk for fentanyl overdose; if someone you love is experimenting with substances, they could be playing with their lives. We understand the overwhelming fear and helplessness that come with fentanyl addiction. But we also know that recovery is possible — with the right support and treatment. Monument Recovery provides young adults and their families with a safe, compassionate, and effective way to lasting recovery.
Monument Recovery offers a comprehensive continuum of evidence-based treatment options for young adults in Arizona, including Residential Treatment, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP). No matter where the journey to recovery begins, our customized treatment plans will help you or a loved one break free from fentanyl to build a life founded on health, balance, and purpose.
What Is Fentanyl?
Fentanyl is a powerful opioid, or synthetic derivative of the opium poppy plant. It was initially developed for severe pain management for post-surgery patients or for those dealing with advanced-stage cancer. However, in recent years it has flooded the streets for non-medical use, resulting in countless deaths.
What’s worse, drug users who try to avoid fentanyl are still at risk of overdose. Fentanyl is frequently mixed with illegal drugs like heroin, cocaine, and counterfeit prescription pills. Even a trace amount can cause an overdose. That’s because as fentanyl affects the brain's opioid receptors it depresses vital functions like breathing and heart rate.
Signs of Fentanyl Addiction
- Physical Symptoms
Mental Confusion, Nausea, Slowed Breathing & Heart Rate - Behavioral Changes
Isolating, Neglecting Responsibilities, Changes in Sleep Patterns
If you or someone you love is experiencing any of these symptoms, it could be time to seek professional help. Fentanyl addiction is life-threatening, but recovery is possible with the right treatment plan.
Treatment for Fentanyl Addiction
Fentanyl users can’t “just stop.” This highly addictive drug changes brain functions, meaning that quitting “cold turkey” is challenging, uncomfortable, and even dangerous. Users who stop consuming fentanyl will experience withdrawal symptoms, such as cravings, muscle pain, insomnia, anxiety, and vomiting. Far too often, they relapse rather than continue through the pain.
Monument Recovery can help you or a loved one find a safe, structured environment for detoxification, with a seamless transition to our recovery program. From there, our comprehensive approach ensures that you or your loved one is supported at every step of the journey: from managing the physical aspects of addiction to addressing the underlying emotional and psychological challenges that fuel substance use.
Fentanyl Treatment for Young Adults
Every young person’s journey through addiction and recovery is unique. That’s why we offer a range of personalized fentanyl addiction treatment options to fit each individual's needs. From the structured environment of a residential program to the flexibility of outpatient care, we have a solution designed to help every client we encounter to succeed.
Residential Treatment for Young Adults
Residential treatment for young adults provides the most supportive, immersive environment to focus on recovery. Clients have 24/7 support from our team of experts, and receive the highest level of clinical care and holistic healing. In addition, the residential treatment environment separates individuals from the triggers of their normal living environments, giving them a safe, peaceful environment to build a better life.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Young adults who have completed residential treatment or who cannot commit to a full-time program can find a high level of support and some flexibility in IOP. Participants in IOP typically attend therapy and counseling sessions multiple times per week while living in a recovery-supportive environment. The reduced schedule of IOP allows clients to experience some autonomy — even taking classes or starting a part-time job out of treatment hours. The safe container of the treatment community remains, allowing them to experiment with new freedoms and coping strategies in the context of that safety net.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP provides a middle ground between residential treatment and IOP. Here, participants spend most of their day at our facility, receiving intensive therapy, medical care, and support. They return home in the evenings, but have less time out of treatment than IOP clients. PHP can act as a transition between residential treatment and outpatient care, or as a first step towards recovery. Our individual counseling, group therapy, and holistic treatment services are all available to PHP clients.
