Fentanyl is widely known as one of the most common drugs involved in overdose deaths, both in California and the United States at large. As a Schedule III illegal substance that is about 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times stronger than heroin, fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that can be prescribed for pain management, but it comes with a high potential for addiction or abuse. Anyone can develop an addiction to fentanyl, but recovering from fentanyl addiction or abuse is possible. Pinnacle Recovery is a drug rehab center in Pasadena, CA, offering effective and evidence-based fentanyl addiction treatment to help you on the path to addiction recovery. This page will discuss what to expect in fentanyl addiction treatment at Pinnacle Recovery, as well as how to detect fentanyl addiction and the effects of fentanyl on the body and mind.
Pinnacle Recovery offers a safe, supportive, and close-knit environment for those overcoming all types of substance abuse, including fentanyl addiction. The majority of Pinnacle Recovery clients participate in the following steps in order (detox, inpatient rehab, and aftercare planning). Each step in treatment can play an important role in helping you or your loved one overcome a substance use disorder.
If you have questions about our programs, insurance information, or what to know if you are looking for fentanyl addiction treatment for a loved one, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. The friendly team at Pinnacle Recovery is here to help.
For most of our incoming clients, medically supervised detox is the first step of fentanyl addiction treatment at Pinnacle Recovery. Fentanyl withdrawal symptoms do not last forever, but they can be very difficult to get through on your own, leading to a significant risk of relapse at this time. Common fentanyl withdrawal symptoms include but are not limited to lack of energy, insomnia, anxiety, muscle aches, drug cravings, irritability or agitation, yawning, sweating, feelings of depression, and a runny nose. The medically supervised fentanyl detox program at Pinnacle Recovery provides 24/7 supervision from staff, and medications may be prescribed to help you get through fentanyl withdrawal symptoms during the medical detox process. Most clients spend about one week in detox under medical supervision before transitioning into our residential inpatient rehab program.
Although detox will help you through the initial stages of fentanyl withdrawal, residential inpatient treatment provides intensive therapy. In residential treatment at Pinnacle Recovery, you will explore the role fentanyl addiction or abuse has played in your life and learn essential coping skills and relapse prevention techniques to use in the long term. During the day, residential inpatient rehab clients at Pinnacle Recovery participate in a full schedule of groups, individual therapy sessions, and other activities. All clients at Pinnacle Recovery get a personalized addiction treatment plan to ensure that individual needs are not overlooked.
Our residential treatment facility offers semi-private rooms with TVs in each room. Other amenities that make Pinnacle Recovery unique include but are not limited to chef-prepared meals with accommodations for food preferences and needs (e.g., veganism, vegetarianism, or food allergies), a fitness center with workout equipment (including peloton access), a game room, and a pool.
The aftercare planning process should be just as individualized as inpatient rehab, and it’s an essential part of any fentanyl addiction treatment program. Before your stay at Pinnacle Recovery comes to an end, you’ll make an aftercare plan with the help of your treatment team. Your personal aftercare plan may include:
We know that recovery doesn’t end when treatment is over. At Pinnacle Recovery, we make it a point to stay in touch with former clients and will be sure to check in with you after you leave.

Using fentanyl can lead to side effects such as slowed breathing, confusion, drowsiness, constricted pupils, urinary retention sedation, euphoria, mood swings, constipation, and loss of consciousness. Complications such as brain damage, severe gastrointestinal issues (e.g., bowel obstruction), and heart problems can occur in those using fentanyl, in addition to the risk of overdose and death. Using multiple substances–for example, fentanyl mixed with alcohol–can increase the likelihood of serious events such as drug overdose. We can help clients experiencing standalone fentanyl addiction as well as those who may be using multiple drugs.
At Pinnacle, we are committed to providing comprehensive care for our clients at every step of their recovery journey.
