Treatment
Fentanyl addiction doesn’t have to define your life. Our evidence-based treatments and dedicated support team are here to guide you on the journey to lasting recovery.
What is Fentanyl Addiction?
Fentanyl addiction is one of the most dangerous and rapidly growing substance use disorders in the United States. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid—up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine—originally developed to manage severe pain. Even a few milligrams can be fatal. Because it is often mixed into counterfeit pills or other drugs without the user’s knowledge, accidental overdoses have surged nationwide. Dependence develops quickly as the body adapts to the drug’s potency, causing intense cravings and severe withdrawal when use stops.
At Bliss Recovery, nestled in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, clients facing fentanyl addiction receive highly specialized, compassionate care in a private and luxurious environment focused on safety, dignity, and long-term recovery.
What Does Research Say About Fentanyl Addiction?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fentanyl is now involved in more than 70 percent of all opioid-related overdose deaths in the United States. Research by Dr. Nora Volkow, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), reveals that fentanyl’s extreme potency disrupts the brain’s opioid receptors, overwhelming the body’s natural pain-management system and producing severe physical dependence. Studies from Harvard Medical School, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) have shown that long-term fentanyl use not only alters brain chemistry but also suppresses respiration and heart rate, dramatically increasing the risk of fatal overdose.
Recent medical research also highlights the emergence of fentanyl-laced stimulants and counterfeit prescription pills, making professional detox and clinical monitoring essential for safety. These findings underscore the importance of evidence-based treatment programs that combine medical supervision with psychological and holistic recovery—core principles of Bliss Recovery’s integrated care model.
What Treatment Does Bliss Recovery Offer for Fentanyl Addiction?
Bliss Recovery offers premier fentanyl addiction treatment in Los Angeles, emphasizing safety, comfort, and comprehensive healing. Detoxification is conducted under close medical supervision to prevent complications such as respiratory distress, dehydration, and seizures. Clinicians may use Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) or Subutex (buprenorphine) to manage opioid withdrawal and cravings, along with clonidine to reduce blood pressure and anxiety, methocarbamol for muscle discomfort, hydroxyzine for restlessness, trazodone to promote restful sleep, and phenobarbital for stabilization and comfort when appropriate.
Once medically stable, clients participate in a structured recovery plan that includes individual and group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, and relapse prevention training. Holistic modalities—such as yoga, mindfulness, nutrition counseling, and art therapy—further support emotional balance and whole-person healing. The serene, resort-style atmosphere of Bliss Recovery fosters deep restoration and helps clients rebuild a life free from addiction.
