Fentanyl is a prescription painkiller in the opioid category that is sometimes used to break what is referred to as the “pain barrier” when other strong painkillers are inefficient in managing pain brought on by a surgery or injury of some kind. These heavily regulated drugs are designed only for short-term use and are to be consumed under the supervision of the prescribing doctor. But like other opioids, fentanyl produces a calming, euphoric sensation that can make it highly addictive. Further, use of illegal synthetic derivatives of fentanyl, which are often mixed with heroin, can also pose significant threats.

Abusing either legally prescribed fentanyl or its illicit counterparts can result in a series of devastating effects to a person’s health and wellbeing as an addiction to these substances takes hold. Fortunately, help is available for individuals who have developed a substance use disorder, and a quality treatment center can help these individuals overcome an addiction to fentanyl or a fentanyl derivative, and return to the healthy, vibrant lives they deserve.

How to Help a Loved One

Helping a loved one get treatment for fentanyl addiction

If a family member or loved one has developed a chemical dependence, it can be difficult to know what steps to take to get him or her the help that he or she desperately needs to heal. But finding a quality treatment center that is equipped to provide the support your loved one needs to recover from an addiction to fentanyl or a synthetic fentanyl derivative is a critical first step.

It can be incredibly difficult to watch a loved one’s health deteriorate as he or she becomes more dependent on his or her drug of choice, but rest assured that help is available and you need not carry this burden alone. In a supportive and nonjudgmental manner, let your loved one know that you care and have his or her best interest at heart. Share what you found in your research about signs and symptoms of fentanyl abuse and options for treatment, and let them know that you are available to help him or her enter treatment, and that you will be there when it is time for him or her to come home.

As you offer support to your loved one or family member, remember that issues of addiction can strain everyone they touch. You will likely feel a fair amount of stress and anxiety yourself as you work through this process with your loved one. Remember to take time to care for yourself as well, and engage in activities that will ensure that you have the patience and energy you need to see your loved one through this process.
