Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid up to 100 times more powerful than morphine, making it one of the most dangerous substances driving the current opioid crisis. Originally designed for severe pain management, illicit fentanyl is often mixed with other drugs, dramatically increasing overdose risk.
Because of its potency, dependence can develop quickly. Recognizing early signs of fentanyl addiction—such as drowsiness, slowed breathing, mood swings, or obsessive cravings—is critical to getting timely help. At Uplift Recovery, we provide safe medical detox and evidence-based care to help clients overcome dependence and restore physical and emotional stability.
