Opioid addiction has become a significant health crisis in the United States, affecting millions of individuals and their families. At Rooted Recovery, we understand the profound impact this condition has on every aspect of life. Our opioid addiction treatment program is designed to provide a comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to help individuals regain control over their lives, restore their health, and build a strong foundation for long-term recovery.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine and significantly more dangerous. Originally developed to manage severe pain, its illicit use has skyrocketed, contributing to a devastating rise in overdose deaths across the U.S.
Fentanyl impacts the brain by binding to opioid receptors, which are responsible for controlling pain and emotions. This interaction produces intense euphoria and pain relief, but also:
Fentanyl doesn’t just impact the brain—it takes a serious toll on the body too. One of the biggest dangers is respiratory depression, where breathing slows down so much that it can lead to an overdose. On top of that, people often feel completely drained, dealing with chronic fatigue and constant drowsiness. Digestive problems like severe constipation are also pretty common, which can be incredibly uncomfortable. To make things worse, fentanyl weakens the immune system, leaving the body more vulnerable to infections and illnesses. It’s a harsh reminder of just how much this drug can affect your overall health.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fentanyl was involved in over 107,000 overdose deaths in 2021, with synthetic opioids accounting for nearly 70% of those fatalities.
Early detection of fentanyl addiction can make all the difference, as recognizing the symptoms is often the first step toward seeking help. Fentanyl addiction affects individuals in many ways—behaviorally, physically, and psychologically. Understanding these signs can empower you to take action and potentially save a life.
If you or someone you love is showing these signs, reaching out for professional help could be lifesaving. Early intervention can provide the support needed to begin the path to recovery.
Withdrawal is one of the most challenging stages of overcoming fentanyl addiction, with symptoms that can begin within just a few hours after the last dose. Early signs, typically emerging within 6 to 12 hours, include restlessness, muscle aches, and sweating. These symptoms often intensify during the peak withdrawal period, usually between one and three days, and may include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and a rapid heart rate.
For many, the struggle doesn’t end there, as ongoing symptoms such as insomnia, depression, and persistent cravings can last up to two weeks. The intensity of withdrawal often keeps individuals trapped in the cycle of addiction. However, detoxification under medical supervision can make this process significantly safer and more manageable, providing a crucial first step toward recovery.
At Rooted Recovery, we take a comprehensive and compassionate approach to fentanyl addiction treatment, prioritizing your safety and long-term success.
Our programs are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual, starting with medically supervised detox to ensure a safe withdrawal process. Detox is a crucial first step in recovery, as it allows the body to adjust without the substance while managing withdrawal symptoms in a controlled, supportive environment.
For those needing intensive support, our residential treatment provides a structured and therapeutic environment where individuals can focus entirely on their recovery. For others who require more flexibility, our outpatient programs allow individuals to continue their recovery journey while managing daily responsibilities such as work or family. Both options include therapy, counseling, and ongoing support tailored to individual needs.
Rooted Recovery incorporates evidence-based therapies that address the root causes of addiction. Techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) help individuals replace negative behaviors and manage emotions effectively. Family therapy plays a crucial role in rebuilding relationships and creating a strong support network, while trauma-informed care helps clients work through past traumas that may contribute to their addiction.
In addition to traditional treatment methods, Rooted Recovery emphasizes holistic healing to address the whole person. Mindfulness practices and meditation help reduce stress and promote self-awareness. Yoga and nutritional counseling further support physical and emotional well-being, fostering a balanced and sustainable recovery process.
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment is completed—it’s an ongoing journey. Rooted Recovery provides robust aftercare services, including relapse prevention planning, ongoing counseling, and alumni programs, to ensure that individuals have the tools and community necessary to maintain long-term sobriety. Sober living guidance is also available to help create a stable, substance-free lifestyle.
