Getting help for addiction takes courage and strength, especially for men, who are more likely to go without treatment for a longer period of time compared to men.

The family of substances known as opioids contains a number of drugs and medications. One especially powerful opioid that can fall into each of these categories is fentanyl. Some people receive the medically approved form of fentanyl as a treatment for certain kinds of pain. However, others take the illegally produced drug form of this substance. Fentanyl is perhaps best known for its ability to trigger fatal overdoses. But like all opioids, it also poses a major addiction risk when used improperly. 

Professional treatment of fentanyl problems can not only help you or your loved one break the cycle of addiction. In addition, it can help you avoid a fatal or nonfatal overdose. Looking for professional fentanyl rehab in Colorado? Turn to the experienced professionals at Healing Pines Recovery. We specialize in helping men with opioid problems regain stable sobriety. Our customized treatment plans support recovery from all forms of opioid addiction, including addiction to fentanyl.

Facts About Fentanyl

As an opioid, fentanyl belongs to a group of substances made at least partially from laboratory-made chemicals. These chemicals are designed to mimic the effects of certain ingredients that naturally occur in plants called opium poppies. They differ in this way from opiates, related substances made entirely from natural poppy ingredients. 

Fentanyl is fully lab-made. It’s far stronger than any opiate. In fact, a single dose of it equals the potency of 50 to 100 doses of the opiate morphine. 

Prescription Fentanyl

Prescription fentanyl is a painkiller used for very specific reasons. It’s only approved for older teen and adult cancer patients who:

  • Experience serious flareups of their pain symptoms
  • Are already taking another opioid medication for their everyday pain
  • Have some pre-existing tolerance to opioid medications

The medication comes in five main forms, each of which your body absorbs at a different rate. Depending on your situation, you may receive it as a:

  • Lozenge
  • Tablet that dissolves beneath your tongue
  • Film that dissolves on your tongue
  • Patch that you attach to your skin
  • Tablet that dissolves against the wall of your cheek

Illegal Fentanyl

Many people with fentanyl problems don’t take the opioid in medication form. Instead, they take an illegal form made in a clandestine lab facility. Illegally made fentanyl can be consumed by:

  • Smoking it
  • Nasally inhaling it
  • Swallowing a tablet or pill that contains it
  • Attaching a patch soaked in it to your skin
  • Eating a strip of paper coated with it

Drug dealers sometimes mix fentanyl into batches of other substances. This means that you may end up consuming it without any knowledge of its presence.

The Signs

How Does Fentanyl Trigger Substance Problems?

All opioids have the potential to trigger substance problems. These problems fall under the heading of opioid use disorder (OUD). Some people affected by OUD are clinically addicted to fentanyl or another opioid. Others don’t meet the criteria for addiction and are instead struggling with dysfunctional opioid abuse. You may need fentanyl rehab in Colorado if you’re affected by either of these issues. 

How do fentanyl and other opioids trigger substance problems? When you take an opioid, it alters your brain chemistry. If you continue your drug or medication use over time, your brain can come to depend on this altered state. That can happen even when you use a prescription opioid as your doctor instructed. 

Opioid dependence is not the same as opioid addiction. Your doctor can help you control your dependent state without developing any functional problems. But dependence can turn into addiction if you do any of the following things:

  • Take bigger doses of fentanyl than your doctor prescribes, or take it more often
  • Use legally made fentanyl without a prescription
  • Try to speed up the rate at which a fentanyl medication enters your system
  • Repeatedly use illegal fentanyl in any amount

Fentanyl’s potency makes it a particular concern when it comes to addiction. If you misuse it, you may find yourself in trouble sooner rather than later. And even if you’re not addicted, your opioid abuse may qualify you for an OUD diagnosis.

How a Fentanyl Treatment Center in Colorado Can Help

Regardless of the specific opioid in your system, the basic procedures for treating OUD are the same. The standard framework for opioid rehab is known as medication-assisted treatment (MAT). MAT gets its name because it uses a combination of methods to address opioid problems. These methods include:

  • The use of a medication that supports effective opioid recovery
  • Additional use of psychotherapy that also supports opioid recovery

A Colorado fentanyl addiction treatment center may use either of two opioid medications in a MAT program:

  • Buprenorphine
  • Methadone

Both of these options are far less potent than fentanyl. When used appropriately, they provide your system with enough of an opioid effect to ease withdrawal symptoms. However, this effect is not powerful enough to make you feel intoxicated or promote further opioid abuse. 

Your program will likely also use a third medication called naltrexone. This medication produces the opposite effect of fentanyl, buprenorphine, and methadone by stopping opioids from reaching your brain. It serves as a follow-up to buprenorphine or methadone and helps you stay opioid-free going forward.

The psychotherapy used in MAT helps you make behavioral changes that support your newfound sobriety. Options known to show benefits for OUD treatment include:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Contingency management (CM)
  • Motivational enhancement therapy (MET)
  • Twelve-step facilitation therapy

These therapies work in different ways and can help you reach different rehab goals. For these reasons, you may participate in two or more of them during your time in fentanyl recovery.

At Healing Pines Recovery, we feature MAT for opioid problems. Our customized plans match you with the best possible combination of medication and therapy. For more information, talk to us today.

The leadership and staff were committed to my success.

Paul is a man of integrity which flows through his team. I have been to other recovery programs and HPR stands far above them all. The small group structure offers a more intimate and personalized experience. This was so much more beneficial to my recovery than facilities preaching a "one-size-fits-all" solution to larger and fragmented groups. It was like having personal and knowledgeable therapists dedicated to me for a full month! They went out of their way to understand the root of my challenges and construct a path for improvement that is unique and relatable to me. This was a huge benefit!

It saved my life, in every sense.

I spent a month at Healing Pines Recovery. The actual location itself is unreal. A beautiful cabin lodge, with gorgeous scenery. The rooms are large, queen beds, very comfortable! Great bathrooms with great showers! There is a pool table, slam jam, (Christine! 😉 frisbee golf, and daily access to a nearby gym. The property also has a pickle ball court that was used daily, Zoey the counselor beat us men constantly!

Clay M

My experience with Healing Pines Recovery has been wonderful.

My husband was their client, and they helped him be able to help himself. He is doing amazing! I think the combination of counseling, physical labor, meditation, AA, and just the beauty of the place itself all had a very positive impact on him. They really cared about him, and that did not stop just because he came home. Also they have counseling for the families and it has really helped me a lot. Heather is awesome! I thank God that we had them in our lives when we were most vulnerable.

We wanted to share our gratitude to the staff.

Our son was under the care of Healing Pines recently and we wanted to share our gratitude to the staff. There were many challenges in his pursuing treatment, and thankfully Paul and Heather C helped us navigate all of them skillfully with patience and compassion.

You'll get your life back!

Healing Pines Recovery is/was instrumental in setting me up for long term success in my recovery journey. I've been to treatment centers in the past and HPR is nothing like anything I've attended before. They're very small, intimate, and hands-on approach to recovery was exactly what I was looking for when seeking treatment. I knew that a large, one size fits all program like those offered by many other treatment centers in Colorado wouldn't provide me with the help I desperately needed. Paul and his Team are incredible and I would highly recommend HPR to anyone who needs help starting their recovery journey. Big shout out to James for all of his guidance during my time at HPR. His grace, knowledge, understanding, and direction were/are key to my continued success in recovery. One HUGE piece of the puzzle I love is the after care I've received from HPR... I am in constant contact with Paul, James, and many other staff members through the their alumni programs and it has helped me so much with life after HPR. This program was truly a miracle in my life and I know it will be for many other men struggling with addiction and/or alcoholism. You'll get your life back!

This is truly a great recovery facility.

My learning experience here was something I’ll take with me throughout my whole life. The staff here will always be a part of my family and I am beyond thankful for everything they have done and continue to do for my well-being.

Gunnar P

I can't speak more highly of Healing Pines Recovery & Addiction Center.

It is located in a beautiful Colorado location with lots of outdoor activities and fresh air. They have a very knowledgeable and professional staff that goes above and beyond to meet your needs.

Riley K

I couldn’t have been at a more amazing place to begin this journey.

Seriously an amazing place. Everything from how beautiful the house and the property it sits on down to every person staffed there was nothing less than perfect. More than highly recommended in every sense. If you’re reading this and trying to find the right place for treatment and recovery I would absolutely look no further. Everyone’s recovery is different and we all need a comfortable place with people we can trust through this battle, healing pines understood that everyone’s path is different and they 100% cater to that. I couldn’t have been any luckier with finding Healing Pines. I won’t go any deeper and start to thank everyone there individually, But I want to express my gratitude to everyone on the HEALING PINES TEAM. Without you all, my path in sobriety would not look anywhere near the way it looks today. Seriously from the bottom of my heart thank you!
