The Sanctuary at Sedona founder Dean Taraborelli discusses our holistic non-12 step drug addiction program.
What once was an anesthetic to remedy intense pain has ravaged the United States. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that’s left numerous people addicted. The U.S. fentanyl crisis continues unabated, contributing to over 70,000 drug overdose deaths in 2021.
If you find yourself battling fentanyl addiction, there is hope. The Sanctuary at Sedona is a holistic addiction treatment center in the serene red rock hills of Arizona. During your stay in our fentanyl rehabilitation program, you’ll learn how to break addiction’s physical, emotional and spiritual ties.
Fentanyl is a menacing drug when used illicitly. While some people knowingly consume it, others use it unintentionally. The drug is sometimes ground into powder and sold as cocaine or mixed with other drugs, such as heroin, pills or meth, to enhance their effects.
Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine. Even a small amount can increase a person’s risk of overdose.
Like other opioids, fentanyl has a high potential for misuse and addiction, even when prescribed. This drug releases dopamine, giving users a euphoric feeling. Over time, taking a little may no longer provide the intense high you’re looking for, so you take more. At this point, the trap of fentanyl addiction has ahold of you, creating emotional, physical and mental dependence.

Another way to tell if you’re addicted to fentanyl is by attempting to quit. If you’re dependent, your body will let you know with severe withdrawal symptoms, including:
Don’t let yourself become a statistic in the ongoing fentanyl crisis. While you may feel confused or helpless, your first step is admitting you need help. Addiction is not your identity — while you may have used fentanyl to fill an internal void, you can overcome.
