      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      What happens when a person overdosed on fentanyl?

      Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. It is used medically to treat severe pain, but its potent nature also makes it dangerous when misused or taken in excessive amounts. When a person overdoses on fentanyl, several life-threatening symptoms and complications can occur:

      • Respiratory depression: One of the most critical effects of a fentanyl overdose is severe respiratory depression, which occurs when the drug suppresses the brain's ability to control breathing. This can lead to slow, shallow, or irregular breathing, or even cause the person to stop breathing altogether, which can be fatal.
      • Unconsciousness: A fentanyl overdose can cause the person to lose consciousness or become unresponsive. In this state, the individual is at a higher risk of choking or suffering from positional asphyxia if they are in an awkward position that restricts their breathing.
      • Constricted pupils: An overdose may result in pinpoint pupils, also known as miosis, which is a common sign of opioid intoxication.
      • Cyanosis: Due to the lack of oxygen resulting from respiratory depression, the person's skin, lips, and nails may develop a bluish tint, which is called cyanosis.
      • Low blood pressure: A fentanyl overdose can lead to a significant drop in blood pressure (hypotension), which may result in dizziness, fainting, or shock.
      • Slow or weak pulse: The person's heart rate may become slow or weak, further contributing to the risk of life-threatening complications.
      • Muscle rigidity: In some cases, a fentanyl overdose can cause muscle stiffness or rigidity, particularly in the chest and abdominal muscles, which can make it even more difficult to breathe.
      • Seizures: Although less common, a fentanyl overdose may also cause seizures in some individuals.
      • Coma or death: In severe cases, a fentanyl overdose can lead to coma or death due to respiratory failure, lack of oxygen, or other complications.

      If you suspect someone is experiencing a fentanyl overdose, it is crucial to call emergency medical services immediately. Administering naloxone, an opioid antagonist, can temporarily reverse the effects of the overdose, but multiple doses may be needed due to fentanyl's potency. It is essential to note that naloxone is not a substitute for professional medical care, and the person must still receive prompt medical attention to address any underlying complications and ensure proper treatment.


      How do I know if I have an addiction problem?

      Recognizing whether you have an addiction problem involves self-reflection and a honest assessment of your behaviors, thoughts, and emotions related to substance use or compulsive behaviors. Addiction is characterized by an inability to control or abstain from a substance or behavior despite negative consequences and a preoccupation with the addictive substance or behavior. Here are some signs and symptoms that may indicate an addiction problem:

      • Loss of control: You may find it difficult to stop or moderate your substance use or behavior, even when you want to or have tried multiple times.
      • Continued use despite negative consequences: You continue to engage in the addictive behavior despite experiencing negative effects on your health, relationships, work, or other aspects of your life.
      • Preoccupation: You spend a significant amount of time thinking about, obtaining, using, or recovering from the substance or behavior.
      • Tolerance: You may need increasing amounts of the substance or more frequent engagement in the behavior to achieve the same desired effect, indicating that your body has become accustomed to it.
      • Withdrawal: When you stop using the substance or engaging in the behavior, you experience physical or psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, irritability, nausea, or insomnia.
      • Neglecting responsibilities: You may find yourself neglecting personal, work, or family obligations due to your preoccupation with the substance or behavior.
      • Social isolation: You may withdraw from social activities or relationships that were once important to you, often to hide your addiction or because the addiction has taken priority.
      • Risk-taking behavior: You may engage in risky activities, such as driving under the influence, sharing needles, or engaging in unprotected sex, while using the substance or engaging in the addictive behavior.
      • Denial or minimization: You may downplay the severity of your addiction or refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem, despite concerns expressed by friends, family, or professionals.

      If you recognize any of these signs and symptoms in your own life, it may be an indication that you have an addiction problem. It is important to seek help from a healthcare professional, addiction counselor, or support group to discuss your concerns and explore available treatment options. Remember, addiction is a complex and chronic condition, but recovery is possible with the appropriate support and intervention.


      How do I repair relationships damaged by my drug and alcohol abuse?

      "Repairing relationships damaged by substance abuse is a process that takes time, effort, and a sincere commitment to change. Here are some steps to consider:

      Achieve Sobriety: The first step in repairing relationships is to focus on your recovery. Demonstrating commitment to sobriety shows your loved ones that you are serious about making a change.

      Acknowledge the Damage: Be open and honest about the harm your substance abuse has caused to your relationships. Acknowledging the problem is the first step towards making amends.

      Apologize Sincerely: Offer a sincere and heartfelt apology. It's essential to take responsibility for your actions and the pain they've caused, without making excuses.

      Make Amends: Making amends goes beyond apologizing. It involves taking action to correct past wrongs where possible, whether that means repaying debts, resolving past disputes, or simply making a commitment to behave differently in the future.

      Open Communication: Maintain open, honest, and regular communication with your loved ones. Be open to their feelings and feedback, even if it's tough to hear.

      Be Patient: Healing takes time. Your loved ones may not be ready to immediately forgive or trust you again. Respect their feelings and give them the time they need to heal.

      Seek Professional Help: Family or relationship therapy can provide a safe and structured environment to address issues, improve communication, and begin the process of rebuilding trust.

      Maintain Consistency: One of the most crucial steps in repairing relationships is consistently demonstrating your commitment to your recovery and to positive change. This consistency helps to rebuild trust over time.

      Support Their Healing: Understand that your addiction may have caused significant pain and trauma to your loved ones. Support them in their own process of healing, which may include their own therapy or participation in support groups.

      Rebuild Trust: Broken trust is often the most challenging aspect of a relationship to mend. Proving through actions over time that you're committed to your sobriety and to being reliable and truthful can gradually rebuild trust.
