Fentanyl Addiction Treatment Program in Massachusetts
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that’s 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Originally developed for severe pain management in hospital settings, fentanyl is now one of the most dangerous substances found on the street. Illegally manufactured fentanyl is often mixed into heroin, counterfeit pills, cocaine, and other drugs—making even a single use potentially deadly.
If you or someone you love is struggling with a fentanyl addiction, help can’t wait.

The Rise of Fentanyl Overdoses
Fentanyl is driving the national opioid overdose crisis due to its affordability, addictiveness, and potency. It’s odorless, tasteless, and nearly impossible to detect when added to other drugs. Just two milligrams—the amount that fits on a pencil tip—can cause fatal respiratory depression. Many people who overdose never even knew they were taking fentanyl.
Signs of Fentanyl Addiction
Fentanyl use disorder can develop quickly, often with little warning. Common signs include:
- Extreme drowsiness or nodding off
- Constricted pupils
- Slowed breathing or difficulty waking up
- Flu-like symptoms during withdrawal
- Cravings and compulsive use, even after overdose or hospitalization
