Treatment for Fentanyl
Addiction
•
The biological and chemical mechanism of fentanyl that results in the relief
from excruciating pain is also the same mechanism that becomes the reason
for the abuse of this drug by the addicts. The clinical and recreational effects
of fentanyl in addition with its capability of instigating withdrawal symptoms,
which calls for the treatment for fentanyl addiction, are caused because of
the fact that it acts as an agent for the release of endorphins. When the
human body is under the influence of stress, endorphins provide with a
comforting feeling of pleasure. For the reason that human body is not
capable of producing sufficient level of endorphins on its own to deal with
intense pain, fentanyl is used to activate a quick release of large amount of
endorphins, which helps in getting rid of the pain. When it comes to the
recreational use of fentanyl by addicts, there is no pain to cure. As a result,
addicts experience a strong emotion of pleasure as soon as fentanyl
penetrates into the bloodstream and reaches the brain. This condition is what
addicts meant when they use the term, “getting high”. In the technical terms,
such penetrating experience of joy and pleasure is identified as “euphoria”.
