Fentanyl is a prescription drug for pain management (often post-surgery). However, it is also available on the street, leading to serious public health concerns. Fortunately, treatment is available. Rehab clinics can provide safe spaces for kicking the fentanyl habit and getting your life back on track.

The misuse of prescription drugs has become a significant public health problem over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, many of these patients don’t misuse the drugs on purpose. Instead, they develop a physical dependence because the drugs help to alleviate symptoms while also activating the brain’s reward center.

The opioid crisis has long been a problem for healthcare systems around the world, resulting in devastating consequences for individuals and their families. Fortunately, by addressing the root causes of the opioid crisis, a growing awareness is spreading of the need for alternative pain management methods. 

Patients trying to kick drug and alcohol habits often want to check themselves out of rehab. Remaining in facilities can be challenging as substances make their way out of the body. However, understanding the implications of leaving rehab early is critical.
