Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid driving a national overdose crisis. At BloomRecovery, we provide urgent, expert care to help individuals break free from fentanyl addiction and find lasting stability.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid used medically to treat severe pain, but it is now the leading cause of opioid overdose deaths in the U.S. It is extremely potent and often unknowingly consumed in counterfeit pills or mixed with heroin or cocaine. Fentanyl addiction can develop quickly, with a high risk of fatal overdose even in small amounts.
• Extreme drowsiness or unconsciousness
• Euphoria followed by sedation
• Nausea and slowed breathing
• Confusion or disorientation
• Danger of overdose within minutes
• Physical dependency and withdrawal
• Risk of repeated overdose
• Cognitive and memory decline
• Heart, liver, or lung complications
• Deepening depression or hopelessness
• Track marks or paraphernalia (needles, foil, pills)
• Periods of unconsciousness or near overdose

• Cravings and compulsive use
• Use despite increasing danger
Fentanyl withdrawal can begin within hours and may include:
• Severe body aches and chills
• Insomnia and agitation
• Nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping
• Intense cravings
• Emotional distress or panic
• 24/7 medical detox and monitoring
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) such as Suboxone or Methadone
• Individual and group therapy for trauma and relapse prevention
• Family support and overdose education (including Narcan use)
• Ongoing aftercare and recovery community building
Why is fentanyl so dangerous?
Fentanyl is up to 100 times more potent than morphine and is often mixed into other street drugs without the user’s knowledge. Even tiny amounts can cause respiratory arrest and death.
Is treatment for fentanyl addiction different from other opioids?
Fentanyl withdrawal may be more intense and require longer detox and stabilization periods. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and trauma-informed therapy are key components of recovery.
At BloomRecovery, we treat fentanyl addiction as the life-threatening condition it is. We offer immediate access to medical stabilization, then support clients through evidence-based therapy, MAT, and long-term planning. Our goal is to save lives and rebuild futures with respect, dignity, and hope.
Fentanyl is deadly—but recovery is real. Let BloomRecovery provide the care and structure you need to stay safe, stable, and strong.
