Fentanyl is one of the most dangerous substances driving the current overdose crisis. Its extreme potency makes addiction particularly deadly and detox especially important.
Fentanyl withdrawal can be intense due to the drug's strength. Symptoms include severe muscle aches, intense cravings, anxiety, nausea, and insomnia.
Medical detox is essential for safe fentanyl withdrawal. Medication-assisted treatment using buprenorphine or methadone significantly eases symptoms and reduces relapse risk.
The duration of fentanyl detox varies but typically lasts 5-10 days for acute withdrawal. Post-acute symptoms may persist longer, requiring ongoing support.
Finding the right detox program is critical. Look for medical supervision, medication-assisted treatment options, and comprehensive care that addresses your individual needs.
