FENTANYL WITHDRAWAL: WHAT TO EXPECT
This is your body’s way of adapting to the coexistence of the drug in your body. Once your body has developed a mental or physical dependency, you will begin to experience uncomfortable physical and/or mental side effects. These side effects are a result of your body craving the substance. Basically your body is saying you need the drug when in fact you do not. These withdrawal side effects will persist until the source of dependency is ingested.

How Long Do Fentanyl Withdrawal Symptoms Last?
This introductory phase is the primary reason quitting alone without medical detox is the most life-threatening decision you can make. Quitting opioid addiction cold turkey could send your body into shock without the proper administration expertise of a trained physician. Though this is the shortest stage, it can still be the most painstaking for many. These physical withdrawal symptoms can manifest themselves in as little as 6 hours and last for up to a week or more. Nearly all cases who do not enroll in a detox center will either relapse or cause serious harm.
Post-acute fentanyl withdrawal is the long-term phase of detox and recovery. This phase can span several weeks or several months depending on severity and level of dependency. At this phase, with the guidance of a trained therapist, you can have the much-needed motivation and professional training your recovery needs.
How is Fentanyl Withdrawal Treated?
Medically-assisted fentanyl recovery treatment is especially effective for the early stages of treatment that would otherwise lead to relapse. The first week of recovery is physically painful and can send the body into shock without the proper “new” balance that has altered your body’s chemical makeup. In short, this means your body needs at least some traces of opioids to prevent the body from going into shock.
Receiving lower doses of a “replacement” opioid under the direct moderation and monitoring of a medical professional will gradually stabilize your body’s chemical imbalances. Doing so too quickly overloads your system, thus the need for a trained professional. Talk to a Detox Center expert to discuss your options for treatment. The path to your sobriety is just a click away.
Is Medically-Administered Fentanyl Treatment Effective?
Prescription-based recovery for fentanyl treatment from a trained specialist is not only the most efficient method, it’s the only safe choice. The only way to combat fentanyl withdrawals and relapse is to restore your body’s chemical balance by medical means. The presence of fentanyl distorts and destabilizes that balance, exacerbating dependency. Attempting to do so cold turkey could cause permanent bodily damage or even death.
