      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.


      Is there free help for drug and alcohol addiction?

      Yes, there is free help available for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Numerous resources and support systems exist to provide assistance at no cost. Some of these options include:

      National Helplines: Many countries have dedicated helplines for substance abuse and mental health issues. In the United States, the SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-HELP) offers free, confidential, 24/7 assistance in English and Spanish.

      Peer Support Groups: Local support groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA), provide free peer-to-peer support, guidance, and resources for individuals facing addiction. Meetings can be found in various locations and are open to all.

      Non-profit and Faith-based Organizations: Some non-profit and faith-based organizations offer free addiction support services, including counseling, group therapy, and recovery programs. Local community centers, churches, mosques, and synagogues may have information about available resources in your area.

      Online Support Communities: Several websites and online forums offer free support and resources for individuals in recovery from addiction. These virtual communities can provide valuable information, advice, and encouragement from peers facing similar challenges.

      State-Funded Treatment Programs: In many regions, state-funded addiction treatment programs provide free or low-cost services to eligible residents. Contact your local health department or substance abuse agency for information on available programs in your area.

      Public Libraries: Local libraries often have free resources related to addiction, recovery, and mental health, including books, DVDs, and pamphlets. Librarians can also help you locate additional resources and services within your community.


      What are relationship risk factors for drug and alcohol abuse?

      Several relationship factors can increase the risk of developing a drug or alcohol abuse problem. These include:

      • Peer Pressure: One of the most significant relationship risk factors, particularly among young people, is pressure from friends or peers to use substances. This can lead to experimental use, which can progress to misuse or addiction.
      • Family History of Substance Abuse: Growing up in a family where substance misuse or addiction is present can increase the risk of developing similar problems. This can be due to both genetic factors and the modeling of substance use behaviors.
      • Abusive or Dysfunctional Relationships: People who are in abusive or highly stressful relationships may turn to drugs or alcohol as a form of self-medication or escape.
      • Enabling Behaviors: If a person's substance use is consistently enabled or excused by their partner, family, or friends, it can perpetuate a pattern of misuse and make it harder for them to recognize or address their problem.
      • Isolation or Lack of Social Support: People who feel socially isolated or lack supportive relationships may be more prone to substance abuse. Drugs or alcohol can sometimes be used as a way to cope with feelings of loneliness or disconnection.
      • Normalization of Substance Use: In some social or cultural contexts, frequent or heavy substance use may be considered normal or acceptable, which can increase the risk of abuse and addiction.
      • Co-dependency: In co-dependent relationships, one person may depend on the other's drug or alcohol problem just as the substance user depends on the substance, creating a cycle that can exacerbate the problem.
