Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care to Overcome Fentanyl Addiction Safely
Fentanyl addiction is a growing public health crisis, with its potent effects making it one of the most dangerous synthetic opioids. At Trinity River Recovery Center, we provide a safe, structured, and compassionate environment to help individuals overcome fentanyl addiction using medically supervised and evidence-based treatment approaches.
What Is Fentanyl?
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50–100 times more potent than morphine and 25–40 times stronger than heroin. Initially developed for medical use in managing severe pain, fentanyl is now one of the most misused drugs, contributing to countless overdoses each year. Medical and Illicit Uses include:
- Prescribed Uses: Common in cancer pain management and palliative care. Forms include transdermal patches, oral lozenges, and injectable solutions.
- Illicit Uses: Frequently found in counterfeit pills, powders, and laced with drugs like heroin or cocaine, often without the user’s knowledge.
The Risks of Fentanyl Addiction
Fentanyl’s potency creates an elevated risk of overdose, dependency, and misuse. Once the body builds a tolerance, individuals require higher doses to achieve the same effects, escalating the risk of fatal overdoses. Signs of Fentanyl Misuse and Addiction:
- Taking larger doses or using more frequently than prescribed.
- Experiencing cravings or withdrawal symptoms when not using.
- Neglecting responsibilities due to drug use.
- Using fentanyl in dangerous situations, such as driving or combining it with other substances.
Common Side Effects of Fentanyl
- Drowsiness, confusion, and dizziness.
- Nausea, constipation, and respiratory depression.
- In severe cases, loss of consciousness and overdose.

Fentanyl Addiction Treatment Options
We take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to fentanyl addiction treatment. Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges of detoxing and recovering from fentanyl use.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
MAT is a valuable option for some in the recovery journey. Using FDA-approved medications, MAT reduces cravings, eases withdrawal symptoms, and supports long-term recovery.
- Methadone: Activates opioid receptors without the euphoric effects, reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
- Buprenorphine: Partially activates opioid receptors for symptom relief and reduced dependency risks.
- Naltrexone: Blocks opioid effects to prevent relapse.
These medications are combined with counseling and behavioral therapies to ensure holistic care.
Methadone
Detoxing from fentanyl without medical supervision can be dangerous. At Trinity River, our medically supervised detox programs provide 24/7 care to ensure safety and comfort as the body eliminates fentanyl. We provide:
