Fentanyl Detox at Blake Recovery Center
Detox is an important first step in overcoming fentanyl addiction, but withdrawal can be challenging. Because fentanyl is up to 100 times stronger than morphine, it can cause intense physical and emotional symptoms.
Our experienced care team provides 24-hour medical supervision and emotional support throughout the detox process. Common withdrawal symptoms may include:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Anxiety or insomnia
- Muscle aches, tremors, or sweating
- Fever or chills
- Headaches or fatigue
- Changes in appetite
- Cravings for the drug
Detoxing under professional supervision helps keep you safe and supported as your body begins to heal. At Blake Recovery Center, you’ll receive compassionate care and ongoing encouragement to help you build a strong foundation for recovery.
Therapy and Emotional Support During Recovery
Recovery involves more than detox. As part of our addiction treatment program at Blake Recovery Center, our inpatient and outpatient treatment programs include:
- Individual therapy focused on personal recovery goals
- Therapeutic group sessions that address family dynamics, relapse prevention, and coping skills
- Education and skill-building to manage cravings and triggers in everyday life
Our addiction specialists bring years of experience helping individuals regain control, rebuild confidence, and restore relationships.
After Detox: Continuing Care and Support
We continue to support your recovery long after detox. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) helps patients transition from inpatient care to independent living with ongoing structure and accountability.
The IOP includes group sessions three ties a week, focusing on:
- Early recovery and relapse prevention
- Family education and communication
- Social and emotional support
When your formal program ends, our connection doesn’t stop. We offer:
- Post-treatment check-ins with our care team
- Virtual and in-person alumni support groups
- Community events for patients and their loved ones
Understanding Fentanyl and Its Risks
Fentanyl is a powerful prescription opioid that acts quickly on the brain’s opioid receptors, creating a strong sense of euphoria or relaxation. Illegally manufactured forms of the drug have led to a rise in fatal overdoses across the U.S.
Common Signs of Fentanyl Addiction
- Growing tolerance and cravings
- Mood changes or irritability
- Fatigue or restlessness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Slurred speech or slowed breathing
- Redness in the face or eyes
- Nausea or vomiting
Can You Overdose on Fentanyl?
Yes. Fentanyl overdoses happen when breathing slows or stops, causing a lack of oxygen to the brain (hypoxia). This can lead to:
- Brain damage
- Coma
- Death
Prompt medical attention and access to treatment can be life-saving.
