Fentanyl Addiction Treatment in Brooklyn
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid prescribed for managing chronic and acute pain, particularly after surgery. However, it is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, making it highly addictive, especially when misused or not taken as directed. The influx of fentanyl from Mexico and China has significantly exacerbated the opioid crisis. In 2022, nearly 74,000 Americans died from fentanyl overdoses, more than double the number of deaths reported in 2019.
