Emerald Isle Health & Recovery Warns About the Dangers of Fentanyl and Stresses the Importance of Fentanyl Detox in Arizona
Apr 5, 2022
April 05, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Emerald Isle Health & Recovery, which is based in Sun City, AZ, wants to warn people about the dangers of fentanyl and the importance of fentanyl detox for the treatment of addiction to fentanyl in Arizona. Fentanyl is prescribed by doctors for pain management. However, it can be misused because of the psychological euphoria that it is able to evoke. This can also lead to an overdose of fentanyl and this could easily be fatal. Unfortunately, even if people who are addicted to fentanyl know how dangerous it is, they will often still continue using it.
Taking fentanyl can be likened to playing Russian roulette and it has been on the news recently for having killed so many people struggling with an addiction. It has become so notorious that it has become the face of the opioid epidemic sweeping the country. Fentanyl is a kind of synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, and it is often prescribed by doctors for patients suffering from advanced stages of cancer or some other terminal illness.
Prescription opioid drugs typically pave the way toward heroin and then fentanyl. Synthetic opioids that are prescribed as pain killers can be addictive and those who get addicted to them will try to get hold of them on the black market since the amount they can get by prescription is limited. Unfortunately, prescription drugs are very costly on the black market. They end up shifting to heroin because it is much cheaper and can provide the same effects as those provided by prescription opioid drugs. Unfortunately, this can also lead to fentanyl addiction because heroin bought on the streets is frequently laced with fentanyl. And because fentanyl is very much more powerful, users can easily overdose and die.
Fortunately, it is still possible to recover from a fentanyl addiction or any other addiction to any opioid. However, it will be a difficult journey and will require much effort from the patient and also strong support from family and friends. Thus, it is important to let as many people as possible be aware of how dangerous fentanyl is, with more than 50,000 overdose deaths in 2021 alone.
Furthermore, Narcan has helped many people in surviving fentanyl overdoses. The Narcan spray for opioid overdose has become more available and it has become a crucial tool in allowing first responders to have a better chance of bringing a patient out of an overdose. The problem with fentanyl is that it is a prescribed drug and even those who are using it as a prescribed medication may develop a dependency on the drug. Fentanyl can have several side effects even for those who don’t overdose. These include: nausea, extreme happiness, confusion, drowsiness, constipation, sedation, respiratory arrest, respiratory depression, tolerance, unconsciousness, tolerance, addiction, coma, and death.
