      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      How to help an addict that refuses it?

      Helping a loved one who is struggling with addiction but refuses assistance can be a challenging and delicate situation. However, there are several approaches you can take:

      • Communication: Have an open, honest, and compassionate conversation about your concerns. Choose a time when they're sober and not in crisis. Avoid judgmental or confrontational language, instead focusing on expressing your feelings and concerns.
      • Educate Yourself: Understanding addiction as a disease can help you approach the situation with empathy. Learn about the science of addiction and the resources available for treatment.
      • Professional Intervention: An intervention is a structured conversation between the person with addiction and their loved ones, often facilitated by a professional interventionist. The goal is to help the person see the negative impact of their addiction on themselves and others and to encourage them to seek treatment.
      • Support Groups: Consider joining a support group for families and friends of individuals dealing with substance use disorders, such as Al-Anon or Nar-Anon. These groups can provide understanding, advice, and encouragement.
      • Setting Boundaries: It's crucial to establish boundaries to protect your own mental and physical wellbeing. Make it clear what behaviors you will not tolerate and follow through on consequences if those boundaries are crossed.
      • Encouragement: Continually encourage your loved one to seek professional help. Provide them with information about local resources, rehab facilities, or counseling services.
      • Self-Care: Don't forget to take care of your own mental and physical health. Seek professional help for yourself if necessary, and remember that it's okay to step back when you need to.

      What to do if someone has a fentanyl overdose?

      Fentanyl overdose is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate action. Here are the steps you should take:

      • Recognize the Signs: Common signs of a fentanyl overdose include slow or irregular breathing, drowsiness or unresponsiveness, constricted or pinpoint pupils, and cold and clammy skin.
      • Call Emergency Services: Dial your country's emergency number (911 in the U.S) immediately. Explain the situation clearly and provide any known information about the person's drug use.
      • Administer Naloxone if Available: Naloxone is a medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. If you have access to this medication, administer it according to the instructions, usually a spray in the nostril or an injection under the skin or into the muscle.
      • Perform Rescue Breathing or CPR: If the person isn't breathing or has shallow breathing, start doing chest compressions and rescue breathing if you're trained to do so.
      • Stay Until Help Arrives: Do not leave the person alone. Stay with them and try to keep them awake and responsive if possible.
      • Provide Information: When emergency responders arrive, provide them with as much information as possible about the situation, including the person's age, weight, the drug they took, when they took it, and any underlying health conditions they might have.

      What are the effects of fentanyl?

      Pain relief: Fentanyl's primary medical use is for pain relief, as it binds to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of pain and increase pain tolerance.

      Euphoria: Like other opioids, fentanyl can produce feelings of euphoria by increasing the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine in the brain, which can contribute to its potential for abuse and addiction.

      Sedation: Fentanyl can cause drowsiness, sedation, and a general feeling of relaxation. In medical settings, this effect is often desirable, but it can be dangerous if the drug is taken recreationally or without proper supervision.

      Respiratory depression: One of the most severe side effects of fentanyl is respiratory depression, which is a slowing of the breathing rate. This can lead to a lack of oxygen, resulting in brain damage, coma, or death, especially if taken in high doses or combined with other substances that suppress breathing.

      Nausea and vomiting: Fentanyl can cause gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, which are common among opioid users.

      Constipation: Opioids like fentanyl can slow down the movement of food through the digestive tract, resulting in constipation.

      Itching: Fentanyl and other opioids can cause histamine release, leading to itching or skin irritation in some users.

      Dependence and addiction: Due to its potency, fentanyl has a high potential for dependence and addiction. Prolonged use can lead to physical dependence, withdrawal symptoms, and psychological addiction, making it challenging to stop using the drug.

      Overdose: Fentanyl's potency increases the risk of overdose, which can be life-threatening. Symptoms of fentanyl overdose include extreme drowsiness, difficulty breathing, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, and unconsciousness. Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, can be administered to reverse the effects of a fentanyl overdose, but multiple doses may be required due to fentanyl's potency.
