When a person does a detox from fentanyl at home by going cold turkey, they will experience intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings within about hours. At that point, if the person abusing fentanyl has easy access to the drug, they will likely relapse too quickly in the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings, the success rates with opioid addiction treatment using methadone or buprenorphine are much higher than quitting cold turkey still going through fentanyl withdrawal.
Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is alarmingly potent and can be deadly. In this episode, addiction treatment expert Dr. Mark Leeds breaks down the critical signs of fentanyl abuse and offers insights into rapid detox solutions. Fentanyl often hides in street drugs, making it a hidden danger with unpredictable potency. Dr. Leeds explains how the withdrawal process for fentanyl differs from other opioids and why quitting cold turkey can be perilous.
He emphasizes the importance of medically-assisted treatments like suboxone or methadone to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings effectively. Dr. Leeds strongly advises against home remedies or supplements for dealing with fentanyl addiction, stressing that professional medical help is crucial. If someone you care about shows signs of fentanyl abuse, this episode is a must-listen for understanding the safest paths to recovery.
