Comprehensive Fentanyl Addiction Treatment

Over 70% of the drug overdose deaths per year are caused by Fentanyl. This synthetic opioid is similar to morphine but 100x more potent. In recent years, there has been a surge in the availability of illicitly manufactured fentanyl on the street, often mixed with heroin or cocaine. Although all opioids carry a risk of addiction and overdose, fentanyl’s strength means that even a small amount can be deadly.

Our compassionate team is dedicated to transcending care for fentanyl abuse through tailored treatment plans that target the root of addiction. We offer a safe and structured approach to detox from fentanyl, and therapeutic services to support long-term sobriety.
