Narconon can help you take steps to overcome addiction
Fentanyl has been making headlines recently, this is because the incredibly potent chemical has been contributing to the increase in overdose deaths across America. Most people however do not know much about the chemical. For instance many don’t know that one of the things that makes fentanyl so dangerous is the fact that it can be absorbed into the system through skin contact. Meaning getting it on your skin could cause a potentially fatal overdose.
If you have heard of Fentanyl, you might already know how deadly it can be. Fentanyl has many pharmaceutical names such as Actiq, Duragesic or Sublimaze. Fentanyl can be up to 50 times more potent than morphine. It is used to increase the potency and profit of heroin and can also used in making Fentanyl-pressed fake Oxycodone or Fentanyl-laced Xanax. Because of the potency of Fentanyl, as little as 0.25 mg has been found to cause a fatal overdose.
Perhaps the best tool when dealing with an addict of any kind is knowing the signs of drug use. Since Fentanyl users are playing Russian roulette with their lives, it is essential to observe the symptoms and act quickly. Early intervention can avoid the heartache of legal issues, medical problems, and in the worst cases, death.
