Fentanyl Addiction
Fentanyl is a very powerful man-made opioid that’s used medically to treat severe and chronic pain. It’s also commonly found in the illegal drug supply, often without people knowing it’s there. Because it’s so potent, even a tiny amount of fentanyl can lead to overdose - especially when mixed with other substances.
