Fentanyl Addiction Treatment
Because of the potency of this opioid, the addiction to fentanyl is one of the most addictive painkillers known in the addiction treatment space. At Cypress Lake Recovery, we work with patients who have suffered from chronic pain and addiction to these painkillers that consume their lives. To reduce our patients’ physical and emotional dependence on fentanyl and other painkillers, we offer chronic pain management using Dr. Flowers’ proven holistic therapies.
Use of Fentanyl
To understand the seriousness of fentanyl addiction, it’s important to know how it’s used. When opioids are abused, the way in which they’re taken is part of the reason they’re so effective, and we can understand how it affects the brain and physical body. Fentanyl is sold as a powder, in slow-release patches, tablets, blotted papers, and as a liquid mixed with heroin; it can be injected, smoked, slapped on the upper arm and swallowed or absorbed on the tongue with these blotted sheets. These opioids are made to be absorbed through delicate and permeable mucous membranes and fatty tissues, so they are fast-acting.
How Fentanyl is Sold and Produced
The DEA recently put out a warning to anyone handling fentanyl in the medical community and other prescription-only handling positions as well as to users of the street drug. Although fentanyl is in the same family as other opioids including morphine, oxycodone, heroin, hydrocodone and codeine, there is an increasing issue in the drug-trafficking department that suggests what people believe to be heroin is fentanyl in disguise.
Those purchasing what they believe is heroin are getting something that is much more than they bargained for since fentanyl is a much stronger synthetic opioid. This is cause for alarm in the law enforcement community because addiction to heroin is as high as 4.5 million people in the population; fentanyl will only create more addiction in addition to what we already have a difficult time treating in the justice system. When fentanyl is sold as heroin, users handle the drug as if it were heroin and don’t realize that breathing the molecules accidentally can start shutting down your breathing and organ function.
Production of fentanyl is done in labs all over the world. The vast majority is made in China and Mexico, and it is known to be much cheaper than heroin to produce since there is no need to search for illegal poppy production.

Fentanyl is a pain killer that can be disguised as Heroin. There is a big problem with street drugs that are being sold to addicts with a pain killer addiction.

An addiction to pain killers can spiral out of control very quickly, and as a friend or family member, it’s essential to be there for help.

The program at Cypress Lake Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Cypress Lake Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Cypress Lake Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.

Chronic Pain Management
The addiction to fentanyl gets worse the longer someone takes the drug and the increasing amount in which they take it. Those addicted to this drug may be able to see that have a problem when the bills start piling up and they start to feel the slow breakdown of their bodies from its use. Discontinuing use of the drug and trying to get sober is difficult because of the intense withdrawals that come with these drugs that have such a high connection to the nervous system. When patients are scared to stop, they take pills and ingest the drug just to stay away from these withdrawal side effects. We understand this concern, but at Cypress Lake Recovery, we offer medical detox with specializing physicians and medical staff to help you through every step safely.
