OVERVIEW

Understanding Fentanyl

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid, approximately 80–100 times stronger than morphine. Prescribed for severe pain, it is also illegally manufactured and distributed — and its potency dramatically increases overdose risk, especially when mixed with or substituted for heroin.

The intense euphoric effects and short duration of fentanyl lead to consuming larger quantities more frequently — and many people seeking heroin unknowingly encounter a far stronger dose of fentanyl. Our team is trained specifically in fentanyl use disorder.

Fentanyl Withdrawal Timeline

Withdrawal symptoms vary, but commonly follow this pattern:

  • First 12 hours

    Fatigue, insomnia, muscle aches, anxiety, restlessness and excessive sweating.

  • 12–96 hours

    Nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, high blood pressure, blurry vision, abdominal pain and rapid heartbeat.
