Understanding Fentanyl Addiction

Fentanyl is a high potency and synthetic opioid causing overdose and death in the United States. This highly addictive, synthetic opioid is 100 times more potent than morphine, making 2 milligrams of fentanyl a deadly dosage. While it was originally invented to treat severe cancer pain, its illegal use is growing swiftly and leading to rapid respiratory depression and damage of the internal organs, often resulting in death.

Dangerous Substance

One Pill Can Kill: All Substance Users Are at Risk of Death by Fentanyl

Statistics indicate that fentanyl is currently the greatest drug threat in this country. Rates of overdose deaths involving fentanyl have increased drastically over the last few years:

Among teenagers, overdose deaths increased 94% from 2019 to 2020.
Fentanyl overdose rates are rising 1,750% times faster than heroin overdoses.
Fentanyl is a factor in 69% of overdose deaths nationwide.
In 2023, alone, there were 72,776 fentanyl overdose deaths.

Fentanyl is often mixed with drugs such as heroin, methamphetamines, cocaine and marijuana as a combination product, and more often than not, fentanyl is added without the drug user’s knowledge. It can also be present in fake prescription pills that look the same as prescription pills sold in a pharmacy. Those seeking to buy Percocet or Xanax from dealers through social media platforms are often given fentanyl instead or in combination with the drug purchased.

Even just a small dose of fentanyl, such as the amount on the tip of a pencil, can be deadly. Fentanyl overdose and addiction is a threat to all substance users, whether fentanyl is your drug of choice or not.

Some Facts

The Fentanyl Crisis in New Jersey

Fentanyl addiction and overdose is greatly impacting those in the New Jersey area. In 2012, fentanyl was found in just 42 of the 1,223 drug overdose deaths in New Jersey. In 2019, fentanyl was found in the bodies of 2,248 people, equaling 75% of drug deaths in the state.

The fentanyl crisis has made it clear. Now is the time for treatment for your addiction, whether it be to marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines, prescription drugs, another substance or fentanyl itself.

Our Levels of Care

New Jersey Fentanyl Addiction Treatment at Pinelands Recovery Center

If you have come to a crossroads in your life and are ready to seek fentanyl addiction recovery, Pinelands can help. Our program offers medically assisted detox, evidence-based therapies for addiction and treatment for veterans. Our programs can help you take control of your life again, rebuild relationships with your loved ones and begin a fulfilling path to recovery. Our caring and supportive staff are here to support you as you navigate and overcome addiction. Our goal is to help you be successful in paving a new course for your life.

Our fentanyl addiction treatment programs are offered in two main levels of care:

Fentanyl Detox

Pinelands Recovery Center is equipped to offer medically assisted detox services for opioids including fentanyl. Medically assisted detox ensures that a patient’s detox is overseen by medical professionals who can administer medications as needed and provide support if medical complications arise during the detox process. At Pinelands, your safety and comfort are our priority. Patients in our medical detox program are evaluated each day by a member of our medical team. Our team can also provide medications that can ease withdrawal symptoms and keep patients more comfortable throughout the detox process. Our detox center provides a calming, supportive environment for this initial phase of recovery.

Residential Treatment for Fentanyl Addiction

Once patients have stabilized through detox, they can transition to our residential treatment program if they choose to continue with us. Our residential treatment program typically lasts three to four weeks. During this time, patients stay at our private treatment center and engage in a structured schedule of treatment sessions. These sessions include individual counseling, small group sessions with a primary therapist, and other therapeutic activities. Patients have the opportunity to engage in 12-step meetings if they wish. Core components of our residential treatment program include:

Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS): Patients work with a CPRC, who can provide insight into recovery strategies based on their own personal experiences. The individuals can help patients see the many different paths to sobriety that are available.
Age-Group-Specific Care: We offer two distinct treatment programs based on age groups: a Young Adults rehab program for those aged 18 to 35, and an Adults program for those aged 35 and up. This distinction enables us to provide specialized support that addresses the unique experiences each age group faces. This also helps patients relate to their peers more easily, and this shared experience can help them connect with others walking the same path to sobriety.

Our residential treatment program also features robust aftercare planning services to help individuals identify their next step in treatment after completing their program. Treatment is just the first step in recovery; we’re here to help you identify the resources that will support you in maintaining long-term sobriety.
