What is Fentanyl Addiction?
Fentanyl addiction is a substance use disorder where individuals become physically and psychologically dependent on fentanyl. Due to its potency, fentanyl use can rapidly lead to tolerance, requiring higher doses for the same effect. Fentanyl addiction often leads to dangerous health outcomes, including overdose, respiratory depression, and death.
Treatment for fentanyl addiction involves medical detox, counseling, and long-term support to address the physical and psychological aspects of dependency.
