Fentanyl

Fentanyl treatment

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50-100 times stronger than morphine. Pharmaceutical fentanyl was developed for the pain management treatment of cancer patients, and applied in a patch on the skin. Because of its powerful opioid properties, Fentanyl is also diverted for abuse. Fentanyl is added to heroin to increase its potency or be disguised as highly potent heroin. Many users believe that they are purchasing heroin and actually don’t know that they are purchasing Fentanyl – which often results in overdose deaths. Clandestinely-produced Fentanyl is primarily manufactured in Mexico.

I've been at AMS for 3 and 1/2 years and they helped me so much with my recovery, without my counselor I don't think I would of made it this far. Ultimately the addict has to do the work but it's extremely helpful when you have the support that you need to do the work. Thank you again AMS and all the wonderful staff for believing in us!!!!
