Carfentanil Addiction Treatment and Rehab
Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid that is similar to, but 1,000 times more powerful than, fentanyl. Carfentanil is known to be used by veterinarians to sedate elephants and other large mammals. The drug is also 10,000 times more powerful than morphine. While the potent tranquilizer is not approved for use in humans, people have begun to mix it in with other substances and the results can be deadly.
Listed as a Schedule II substance, carfentanil is distributed by drug dealers throughout the country, and is mixed into other substances. The drug can be consumed in different forms like a tablet, powder or spray. Carfentanil can also be absorbed through the skin and through inhaling, making it risky for first responders who come into contact with an overdose victim. This means that a person who comes in contact with the substance can face negative side effects as well if they are not careful.
As an at-home detox can be life-threatening, receiving medical detox care from licensed doctors will also reduce the risk of setbacks occurring. Doctors also have the authority to administer certain medications to ease withdrawal symptoms during detox. Detoxing at a treatment facility allows for constant supervision and provides a safe environment for the patient during an uncomfortable part of the recovery process.

When the rehabilitation program is complete, the patient’s treatment team then assists them in aftercare where they prepare to transition back to life in their community and learn to apply their newly learned coping skills. This can occur in sober-living housing, support groups or scheduled therapy sessions.
During this time, patients participate in individual and group counseling sessions. Patients also participate in daily therapeutic activities . This kind of care can be most beneficial to patients who have a severe addiction because they will have medical staff providing constant guidance and supervision while they manage their withdrawal; support that they may not have at home.
Outpatient treatment might also be more beneficial to those who do not have the ability to take a leave of absence from their jobs or for people who cannot step away for a brief period of time from their home life and responsibilities. This allows patients to interact with one another and have the opportunity to receive support from the treatment staff while being able to attend to other life duties.
