      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      Facts about fentanyl

      Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid analgesic that has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its role in the opioid crisis. Here are some essential facts about fentanyl:

      Potency: Fentanyl is estimated to be 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine and 25 to 50 times more potent than heroin. Due to its high potency, it is prescribed in micrograms (mcg) rather than the milligrams (mg) typically used for other opioids.

      Medical use: Fentanyl is primarily used in medical settings to manage severe pain, such as chronic pain or breakthrough pain in cancer patients. It is also used as an anesthetic during surgical procedures. Fentanyl is available in various forms, including transdermal patches, lozenges, tablets, and injections.

      Illicit use: Fentanyl has become a significant concern in the illicit drug market due to its potency and relatively low production cost. Illegal fentanyl is often mixed with other drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, or counterfeit prescription pills, increasing the risk of overdose for unsuspecting users.

      Overdose risk: Fentanyl's potency makes it particularly dangerous, as even a small amount can cause an overdose. Signs of fentanyl overdose include slow or shallow breathing, unresponsiveness, pinpoint pupils, cold and clammy skin, and loss of consciousness. Fentanyl overdoses can be fatal if not promptly treated.

      Naloxone: Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is an opioid antagonist that can rapidly reverse the effects of a fentanyl overdose by displacing the drug from the opioid receptors in the brain. Due to fentanyl's potency, multiple doses of naloxone may be necessary to reverse an overdose effectively.

      Fentanyl analogs: There are numerous fentanyl analogs or derivatives, such as carfentanil, acetylfentanyl, and furanylfentanyl. These analogs can have varying potencies, often significantly stronger than fentanyl itself, which can further increase the risk of overdose and fatalities.

      Legal classification: Fentanyl is a Schedule II controlled substance in the United States, indicating that it has a high potential for abuse and dependence but also has accepted medical uses. Illicit fentanyl and its analogs are often classified as Schedule I substances, indicating that they have no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

      Addiction and dependence: Fentanyl, like other opioids, carries a risk of addiction and physical dependence. Chronic use can lead to tolerance, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect, and withdrawal symptoms if usage is reduced or stopped abruptly.


      Where can I get help for my addiction to drugs with very little money?

      If you're seeking help for your addiction to drugs and have limited financial resources, there are several options available to you. These organizations and services can provide support, counseling, and treatment at little to no cost:

      • National Helplines: Our own helpline (1-877-882-9275) or the SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-HELP) provides free, confidential, 24/7 assistance in English and Spanish.
      • Local Support Groups: Many communities have support groups, such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or SMART Recovery, that offer peer-to-peer support and resources for individuals struggling with addiction. These meetings are typically free and can be found in various locations.
      • Non-profit and Faith-based Organizations: Some non-profit and faith-based organizations offer free or low-cost addiction treatment services, such as counseling, group therapy, and recovery programs. Contact local community centers, churches, mosques, or synagogues to inquire about available resources.
      • Sliding Scale Treatment Centers: Some addiction treatment centers offer services on a sliding scale, meaning they adjust fees based on your income level. Contact local treatment centers and inquire about their financial assistance options.
      • State-Funded Treatment Programs: Many states provide funding for addiction treatment programs that offer free or low-cost services to eligible residents. Contact your state's health department or substance abuse agency to learn more about available programs.
      • Medicaid: If you are eligible for Medicaid, it may cover substance abuse treatment services, including detoxification, counseling, and medication-assisted therapy. Check with your state's Medicaid office for more information on covered services and eligibility requirements.

      Are some individuals genetically predisposed to drug and alcohol addiction?

      Yes, research indicates that genetic factors can play a significant role in an individual's susceptibility to drug and alcohol addiction, although they are only part of the picture. It's estimated that genetics account for approximately 40-60% of a person's vulnerability to addiction, with the remaining risk coming from environmental and psychological factors.

      Here's a closer look at the role of genetics in substance use disorders:

      Genetic Predisposition: Certain genetic variations can influence how an individual reacts to drugs or alcohol. For example, some people might experience a more intense "high," or they might not get unpleasant side effects that deter others from continued use. These genetic differences can increase the likelihood of repeated use and, ultimately, addiction.

      Co-occurring Disorders: Genetic factors can also contribute to mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Individuals with these conditions are often at a higher risk for substance abuse and addiction, creating a potential link between genetic predisposition to these mental health conditions and increased risk for addiction.

      Family History: A family history of addiction can indicate a possible genetic predisposition. If close relatives, such as parents or siblings, have struggled with addiction, an individual may be more likely to develop a substance use disorder. However, a family history of addiction also often comes with certain environmental factors that can increase risk, such as exposure to substance use at a young age or a lack of stable, supportive family structures.

      Epigenetics: Epigenetics, or changes in gene expression due to experiences and environment, can also play a role in addiction. For instance, exposure to high levels of stress or trauma can cause changes in the way genes function, potentially increasing susceptibility to addiction.

      However, it's essential to understand that while genetics can increase the risk for addiction, they do not determine destiny. Environmental factors such as exposure to drugs, family environment, peer influences, and individual resilience can heavily influence whether a person with a genetic predisposition will develop a substance use disorder. Furthermore, effective prevention and treatment strategies can help individuals at risk for or struggling with addiction to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
