Fentanyl Addiction Treatment Program

Fentanyl detox is a critical step in the journey toward recovery and a crucial part of fentanyl addiction treatment. It is important to understand what to expect when going through this process.

During our fentanyl detox program, you will receive medical support and supervision throughout the withdrawal process, helping you manage any symptoms that arise while also providing emotional support. Symptoms of fentanyl withdrawal generally include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Body aches
• Sweating
• Chills
• Irritability
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Insomnia

Through a comprehensive fentanyl addiction treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, you are able to safely work through your withdrawal symptoms with help from trained professionals who have experience in treating fentanyl use.

Medication is an important part of our New Jersey fentanyl rehab center. Medication may include:

• Buprenorphine, which blocks opioid receptors in the brain to reduce cravings, decreases withdrawal symptoms and prevents relapse.
• Naltrexone, which blocks opioid receptors from responding to opioids like fentanyl.
• Antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication if underlying mental health conditions contribute to fentanyl addiction.
• Additional comfort medications that keep you comfortable during your stay.

With proper medication management, combined with counseling and other therapies, individuals struggling with fentanyl addiction have a better chance at successful recovery than ever before.

Therapy is an important part of our fentanyl addiction treatment program. Therapy can help people struggling with addiction to gain insight into the underlying causes of their substance use disorder, develop coping skills and strategies for managing cravings and triggers associated with opioid use, learn how to successfully manage relapse prevention plans after completion of treatment, and gain resources for continued support throughout recovery.

Through one-on-one counseling sessions or therapeutic group sessions led by experienced professionals who specialize in fentanyl addiction treatment, you can work through your unique challenges while gaining a better understanding of your addiction.
