Fentanyl Addiction Treatment in Los Angeles, CA
The urgent truth about fentanyl addiction
Fentanyl’s extreme potency and its presence in counterfeit pills make every use potentially deadly. It’s a leading cause of thousands of overdose deaths each year, and even a single exposure can trigger a life-threatening reaction.

How to treat fentanyl addiction
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is highly addictive, and using it can quickly lead to psychological and physical dependence. Due to the uncomfortable nature of opioid withdrawal symptoms, it is recommended to attend a medical detox center.
We partner with Clear Behavioral Health, a trusted mental health and addiction treatment provider offering professional detox services and drug rehab in a comfortable home-like environment.
Fentanyl detox
Detox is an important part of fentanyl recovery because many people try to quit on their own but end up using again when they experience withdrawal symptoms. Medically supervised detox will ensure your withdrawal symptoms are managed safely with medications if necessary.
Drug rehab
Once stabilized, you will move into drug rehab, which is a lower-level care. Here, you will engage in more therapeutic programming, including individual and group therapy, where you will learn about relapse prevention and also focus on any underlying mental health conditions that may contribute to substance use.
Upon finishing your treatment at Clear, you will make a smooth transition over to New Life House.
Psychiatry and integrated care
Oftentimes, fentanyl addiction is accompanied by underlying mental health conditions and co-occurring disorders, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and more. Our partner, Neuro Wellness Spa, provides essential psychiatry services for added support on your recovery journey.
Through our partnership, you will have access to mental health evaluations to diagnose mental health conditions, medication management when appropriate, advanced treatments like transcranial magnetic stimulation, and coordinated care for co-occurring conditions.
What is fentanyl addiction?
Fentanyl exposure often begins with prescription opioids or experimenting with other drugs. Counterfeit pills, like Xanax or oxycodone, are frequently laced with fentanyl, putting users at risk of accidental overdose.
Fentanyl addiction develops quickly due to its potency, leading to compulsive use, tolerance, severe withdrawal, and continued use despite serious consequences.
Symptoms and dangers of fentanyl use
If you or a loved one is using fentanyl, it’s important to know the signs, symptoms, and risks of this powerful opioid. Early recognition can be life-saving.
Signs of fentanyl use
- Nodding off
- Pinpoint pupils
- Mood swings
- Escalating use
- Itchy nose
Signs of opioid overdose
- Slowed breath or not breathing
- Blue lips and fingertips
