Fentanyl is 50-100 times more potent than morphine and is the leading cause of overdose deaths in North America. Even tiny amounts can be fatal. If you or someone you know uses fentanyl, carry naloxone (Narcan) and never use alone.
Understanding Fentanyl Addiction
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is extremely potent and highly addictive. Originally developed for medical use in severe pain management, illicit fentanyl has flooded the drug supply, often mixed with other drugs without users' knowledge. This has created an unprecedented overdose crisis, making fentanyl addiction one of the most dangerous forms of substance abuse.
At TSCP, we treat fentanyl addiction as a medical emergency requiring immediate, intensive intervention. Our specialized protocols address the extreme physical dependence and life-threatening withdrawal symptoms while providing comprehensive support for long-term recovery.

Our Fentanyl Treatment Approach
Emergency Medical Stabilization
Immediate medical intervention with 24/7 monitoring and overdose prevention protocols. We provide naloxone training, continuous medical supervision, and emergency response capabilities. Patient safety is our absolute priority during the critical stabilization phase.
High-Dose Medication-Assisted Treatment
Specialized MAT protocols using high-dose buprenorphine or methadone to manage severe fentanyl dependence. Due to fentanyl's extreme potency, standard MAT doses are often insufficient. Our medical team carefully titrates medications to achieve stability and prevent withdrawal.
Intensive Psychological Support
Comprehensive mental health treatment addressing trauma, depression, and anxiety often associated with fentanyl addiction. We provide individual therapy, group counseling, and specialized interventions for patients who have experienced multiple overdoses and near-death experiences.
Long-term Recovery & Harm Reduction
Extended treatment planning with harm reduction strategies, ongoing MAT, and comprehensive support services. We provide naloxone training for patients and families, safe use education, and long-term recovery planning that acknowledges the chronic nature of fentanyl addiction.
Fentanyl Overdose Prevention
Always Carry Naloxone (Narcan)
Naloxone can reverse fentanyl overdoses and save lives. Carry multiple doses as fentanyl may require more naloxone than other opioids. We provide free naloxone training and supplies to all patients and their families.
Never Use Alone
Always have someone present who can call 911 and administer naloxone if needed. Consider using supervised consumption sites or overdose prevention apps that can alert emergency services if you become unresponsive.
Test Your Drugs
Use fentanyl test strips to check if other drugs are contaminated with fentanyl. Many overdoses occur when people unknowingly consume fentanyl-contaminated substances. We provide free testing supplies and education.
Start Low, Go Slow
If using, start with a very small amount and wait. Fentanyl's effects can be delayed, and taking more too quickly can lead to overdose. Be especially careful when switching sources or after any period of abstinence.
Fentanyl Emergency Help
Fentanyl overdose is a life-threatening emergency. Signs include blue lips, slow or no breathing, unconsciousness, and weak pulse. Administer naloxone immediately, call 911, and provide rescue breathing if trained. Multiple doses of naloxone may be needed.
