Fentanyl Addiction
Fentanyl addiction can quickly spiral out of control. Sometimes, it starts with a prescription. Other times, it’s unknowingly mixed with other substances. However it begins, the effects can quickly take hold, impacting your health, relationships, and sense of control.
At MLB Recovery, we understand how complex fentanyl addiction can be. We also know that recovery is possible. Our outpatient fentanyl addiction programs offer compassionate, personalized care that leads you to long-term recovery.
Understanding Fentanyl Addiction
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that’s 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Originally developed for medical use, it’s now commonly found in illicit street drugs. And, it’s often without the user’s knowledge. Due to its potency, even a slight miscalculation in dosage can be fatal.
Fentanyl addiction often develops quickly. People may start using it to manage pain, escape emotional distress, or cope with other mental health issues like anxiety or depression. Over time, this use can turn into physical dependence, withdrawal symptoms, and a dangerous cycle that’s hard to break.
Signs of fentanyl addiction may include:
- Strong cravings or compulsive drug-seeking behavior
- Sudden mood swings, including increased anxiety, irritability, or depression
- Changes in sleep patterns, such as insomnia or excessive drowsiness
- Loss of appetite or significant weight changes
- Withdrawal symptoms like muscle aches, sweating, chills, nausea, or restlessness between uses
- Social withdrawal, avoiding family, friends, or responsibilities
- Increasing tolerance, needing higher doses to achieve the same effect
- Neglecting work, school, or personal hygiene
- Lying or secretive behavior to hide use
- Financial problems due to spending money on the drug
If you or someone you love is showing these signs, it’s important to seek help. Early intervention can save lives.

Our Levels of Outpatient Care
Our outpatient fentanyl addiction treatment programs allow you to receive high-quality care while continuing to live at home or in a sober living environment.
We offer three levels of care to meet you where you are:
A structured daytime program that provides intensive therapy and clinical support. Ideal for individuals who need daily care without inpatient admission or have successfully completed detox and residential levels of care, and need a transitional level of care between residential and IOP.
A step down from PHP, this program offers therapy several times a week, along with ongoing clinical support, as individuals reintegrate into daily life and take on additional responsibilities during their recovery.
For clients who are further along in their journey and need ongoing support. Includes weekly therapy and check-ins to reinforce skills and prevent relapse.
