The crisis of fentanyl abuse has been leading headlines for some time now. Tragically, rates of fentanyl addiction are on the rise. Fentanyl is highly addictive and can cause severe physical and psychological dependence. At Texas Helps at San Marcos, we are committed to helping those struggling with fentanyl addiction by providing compassionate and evidence-based treatment options. To learn about our Texas addiction treatment programs that can help, contact Texas Helps at San Marcos at (888) 493-2510.
Fentanyl is an opioid drug that is up to 100 times more potent than morphine. While it is a legitimate medication prescribed for pain management, its powerful effects can also be highly addictive. The drug impacts every body system, causing damage to the heart, brain, gastrointestinal system, muscles, and respiratory system.
Due to the extreme potency and immediate effects of the drug, addiction and physical dependence can develop more quickly than with most other drugs. It is essential to seek help from a fentanyl addiction treatment program if you suspect addiction, as even a single use may cause addiction.
In addition to the risk of fatal overdose, fentanyl can cause a variety of serious health problems. Some of the side effects of fentanyl use include:
Brain damage
Insomnia
Fatigue
Depression and anxiety
Severe constipation leading to bowel obstruction
Abdominal pain and vomiting
Sleep apnea
Increased risk for bone fracture
Opioid overdose causes severe respiratory depression that can lead to respiratory failure. Fentanyl overdose is a medical emergency. Symptoms include loss of consciousness, slowed breathing rate, pale and clammy skin, and blue tint to fingernails. If you suspect someone is experiencing a fentanyl overdose, call 911 immediately.
A comprehensive fentanyl rehab program provides a continuum of care from medically supervised detox to aftercare planning.
Sudden withdrawal from fentanyl, or going “cold turkey,” is not only extremely difficult, it can endanger your health. Severe cravings for the drug may lead to accidental overdose and death. A professional fentanyl addiction treatment program begins with a supervised detox that includes a tapering-off protocol.
Medications and psychiatric support help ease the symptoms of detox, keeping the patient safe and as comfortable as possible. A medically supervised detox program is the safest and most effective approach to withdrawal.
A residential program provides the structure and accountability needed to develop the new coping skills needed for lasting recovery. Residential care includes both individual and group therapies, including holistic and experiential methods like art and music therapy.
Participating in a residential fentanyl addiction treatment program provides the time and focused attention needed to break free from a highly addictive substance like fentanyl.
Aftercare, including sober living when recommended, provides program graduates with a smoother transition back into everyday life. Counselors and aftercare staff help participants develop a solid plan for their new life to help ensure continued recovery.
An alumni program provides graduates with a way to stay connected with Texas Helps at San Marcos after they have completed treatment. Alumni members offer support and help one another find the local resources they need to stay healthy.

Texas Helps alcohol treatment worked on me. I truly appreciate their staff. They ask questions and actually listen to your responses. I have been to other places where they just write prescriptions and send you on your way. Texas Helps is not like that at all. They really care about all of their visitors. They are always professional, as well as polite. I highly recommend them.
I demonstrate a strong commitment to the values and mission of Texas Helps by consistently providing compassionate, client-centered care. Other staff members approach clients with empathy, patience, and respect, even in high-acuity or challenging situations, which contributed to a therapeutic environment that promotes safety, dignity, and engagement in treatment. I am able to provide holistic care through active collaboration with psychiatry and nursing staff members.
