Fentanyl Addiction Treatment Near Scottsdale, AZ

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that the CDC describes as up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Most of the fentanyl behind today’s overdoses is made illegally. It is pressed into counterfeit pills that look like oxycodone or Xanax, or mixed into other drugs, so many people take it without knowing. Because it is so strong, tolerance and dependence can build very quickly.

Fentanyl addiction is treatable. At Fountain Hills Recovery, adults receive opioid addiction treatment in a small, private residential program near Scottsdale, with individual and group therapy, psychiatric care and our dual diagnosis approach for the depression, anxiety and trauma that so often sit underneath opioid use.

If someone may be overdosing

Slow or stopped breathing, blue or gray lips, pinpoint pupils and not waking up are signs of an opioid overdose. Call 911 right away and give naloxone (Narcan) if you have it. Naloxone is sold over the counter at pharmacies, and anyone who uses opioids, or loves someone who does, should keep it on hand.

How we treat fentanyl addiction

Fountain Hills Recovery does not provide on-site detox services. Many people need medically managed withdrawal before they start residential care. Once you have been medically cleared, you move into our residential home, where your plan may include:

• Individual therapy and group therapy several times a week
• CBT, DBT and motivational interviewing to manage cravings and change the patterns behind use
• Psychiatric care and medication management, including treatment for co-occurring depression, anxiety or trauma
• Trauma-focused therapy and EMDR when trauma is part of your story
• Family therapy and holistic therapies such as mindfulness, yoga and equine therapy
• A relapse prevention plan that covers triggers, cravings and the support that comes next

Medications for opioid use disorder, such as buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone, are proven to lower the risk of relapse and overdose. Ask our admissions team how medication fits with treatment at Fountain Hills Recovery.

Our residential program keeps around 10 clients at a time with a client-to-staff ratio that never exceeds 3:1, and you can step down to our PHP and IOP in Fountain Hills when you are ready. Fountain Hills Recovery is licensed, Joint Commission accredited, LegitScript certified and a member of NAATP.
