Fentanyl Detox and Withdrawal Management

Unlock Freedom from Fentanyl: Purpose Healing Center’s Expert Detox
and Withdrawal Management Solutions.

A Brief Example of the Fentanyl Withdrawal Timeline

Enrolling in a detoxification program at Purpose Healing to best cope with fentanyl withdrawal symptoms is the gold standard of care because it can walk you through every stage of the withdrawal timeline.

But when can you expect to start to feel better after your last dose of fentanyl?

The answer depends largely on how much fentanyl you were taking and how long it has been in your system. Some people begin experiencing symptoms of withdrawal in as few as 12 hours with the peak symptoms surfacing within about 36 to 72 hours. This is called the ‘acute phase’ of your fentanyl withdrawal process.

Keep in mind that symptom severity will lessen as time passes, but it can last up to 10 days. This is why we recommend transitioning from medical detox to an inpatient or residential setting where you can learn how to cope with ongoing fentanyl withdrawal symptoms.

Medication-Assisted Treatment for Detoxification

If drug abuse has been going on for quite some time in your life, or that of your loved one, it is even more challenging to quit cold turkey. When coupled with opioid withdrawal symptoms, you are likely to be extremely uncomfortable for some time. Purpose Healing Center can assist you and make you more comfortable than you would be on your own at home.

Medication-assisted treatment is a valid option for opioid addiction. This starts with medications that can ease the early withdrawal symptoms. For example, we offer prescription medications to help with sleeping issues and gastrointestinal issues like nausea and vomiting. These would not be available to you during a home detox.

Additionally, we can assist you with long-term medication-assisted treatment for fentanyl addiction. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, some medications that can be used to treat opioid use disorder include buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone. These medications relieve intense cravings and normalize your brain chemistry.

5 Proven Benefits of Fentanyl Detox at Purpose Healing Center

Going through opioid withdrawal is challenging, even under the best circumstances. Purpose Healing Center understands how monumental it is to commit your substance abuse treatment and put a stop to drug abuse once and for all.

Consider our ‘top 5’ benefits from enrolling in the detox program at Purpose.

1) Access to 24/7 Medical Care

The main reason most people seek addiction treatment in Arizona that starts with a accredited detox program is because it will provide access to around-the-clock medical care. The withdrawal symptoms for this synthetic opioid can be excruciating and uncomfortable with the potential for serious medical problems.

Knowing that you are in the care of competent and experienced medical professionals puts your mind at ease. Whenever you require relief from uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, we are ready and waiting to assist you. It doesn’t matter what time of day or night, we want to make your acute opioid withdrawal as painless as possible.

2) Receive Help from an Accredited Facility

Purpose Healing Center is proud to be a Joint Commission-accredited facility that upholds the most rigorous standards for care. We meet the standards of patient care and safety according to OSHA and CMS as well as the Joint Commission’s rigorous standards. This proves the quality and patient safety aspect of our treatment programs.

3) Address Mental Health and Physiological Dependence

Our team understands that there is often a link between substance abuse and mental health issues. This is why we also provide mental health services that allow us to reach the bottom of why you are dealing with opioid addiction.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse outlines estimates that dual diagnosis of substance use and mental health is at 60 percent. Other sources like the SAMHSA put their estimates at one in four with the overlap between mental health issues and substance abuse.

This is all the more reason to attend a facility that caters to both substance abuse and mental health. Whether you need help with cognitive behavioral therapy or a robust medication-assisted treatment plan, we can get to the bottom of it.

4) Transition to a Lower Level of Care

Most people aren’t prepared to leave Purpose Healing Center after spending a few days in our detox program. Instead, we can help you make the transition to a residential setting where you can reside in one of our facilities for thirty to ninety days. Here, you will gain access to all of the services you might need to kick fentanyl addiction once and for all.

For example, we offer individual therapy, group therapy, support groups, and even holistic therapies that give you the skills you need to combat fentanyl use.

5) In-Network Insurance Coverage for Fentanyl Detox

If you are worried about how popular insurance providers will cover the cost of an opioid treatment program, you can rest assured that our center accepts many types of private insurance as well as AHCCCS plans, almost all as an in-network provider.

This takes the burden of some of the financial aspects of treatment off your plate and allows you to focus on your sobriety.

We can verify your insurance benefits in a quick and confidential phone call today so that you can get the help you need for your acute symptoms of withdrawal.
