ANR treatment facility can end your addiction restore your brain to pre dependency conditions with rapid opioid detox call them be cure in 48 hours

Thank you for making this important statement.

Why not offer medically induced comas for addicts serious about getting clean.. had a friend that went through that.. 🙏🏼 this would be a treatment that helps to bypass a lot of incomprehensible, physical pain.

24 going thru my first day of quitting after a year long, 9 hours in i have major anxiety and rapid heart bumps. Am taking Suboxone to help withdrawals synthoms

I did cold turkey from heroin many times and it’s the sickest i’ve ever felt in my life. It lasted 12 days and it was utter, utter misery. And every minute felt like an hour as you don’t sleep.

Methadone and heroin as well but this why you need medical detoxes with set iv’s and to address heroin was 12 days of acute withdrawal. Methadone 45 days of acute withdrawal in prison. Had many friends die in rehab from lack of electrolytes.

Ive been clean for 7 years. What helped me get her was understanding how withdrawal screws with your brain. You're brain literally thinks you are dying. 24/7 fight or flight.

Got clean Jan 1st 2023. After a week of withdrawal I finally woke up not feeling sick. Been clean since. If you’re getting clean never go cold turkey. I was lucky the second time as I was able to get some oxy to help me taper off for a week, then I only had to deal with one week of withdrawal but it wasn’t as bad as the first time when I went cold turkey. It’s possible guys just keep going it’ll get better

I mean they can't come out with some sort of medication that eases these withdrawal symptoms without putting more opiates into your body I've been on methadone for a while and there's definitely no cravings for any kind of pills I never used street drugs I was hurt at work and they put me on Fentanyl patches at pain management that's the real fentanyl not the garbage that they press into pills that they make in China pharmaceutical grade Fentanyl and when my insurance lapsed they told me to go down to the clinic which I did and I mean it was so painful I couldn't even drive it hurt my arms to shift my car so anyway I've been on methadone for about eight years now and have no craving's and I will never ever touch a pill again in my life I'll deal with the pain right now I'm slowly weaning off of methadone but I would just pray to God that they had something they can give you that would take the withdrawal feelings away I'm sure they did studies on this and invent something for the withdrawals besides methadone and Suboxone I would sign up for that right now

Thinking about it is 100 times worse than actually going through it.

Try methadone, it’s worse!

I agree with most of what the speaker said, I think that there are some situations where people should stop using opioids, and other situations where continuation of opioid use is the better choice. I think that people with chronic pain are often, not always but often, better off continuing opioids long-term. In many cases they can continue to do so for 50 years without developing serious problems. That is, the relief of pain they receive, and the way this helps them function more normally, outweighs any tendency they have to need an increasing dose, outweighs side effects like constipation (which can be fairly well controlled with stimulant laxatives such as senna and laxatives such as polyethylene glycol 3350). The development of tolerance is not as fast as some might think, especially if one is using the smallest possible dose, and one is not trying to treat emotional distress, one is not trying to feel "better than normal" by taking a large dose, not looking for a "high" or a "rush," and not rushing to take more the minute a minor ache or pain arises. If one develops a dependency on opioids just to feel normal, that doesn't necessarily mean one should stop taking them. It makes sense to continue taking them anyway, if they are the only way to relieve pain. One may need to take them for the rest of one's life, just as one might need to take insulin for the rest of one's life, or drugs to control blood pressure for the rest of one's life. It would be better if you didn't need these drugs, and they may have some adverse effects as well as beneficial effects, but if they help you survive, or help you remain functional, in my opinion it would seem wisest to continue taking them despite their limitations. Sure, if you can bring your blood pressure down some other way, you may want to be slowly weaned off of blood pressure drugs. With diabetes there may not be any other way to control the symptoms.

Anyway im able to make sure i stay hydrated even on day 2 & 3 which are the worse however I CANT MAKE MYSELF EAT. ITS SO HARD AN I BELIEVE GOING WHILE DAYS ONLY EATING 2 EGGS POSSIBLY MAKES IT WORSE.

When I ran out of opioids after using them for a few years, I never got any cravings for opioids. I simply _knew_ that they had been responsible for relieving pain, for some months, pain that had been untreated before that for years, and that then when I ran out of opioids, I then not only had the return of the pain, but I felt ill in general. I simply _knew,_ understood, that if I were able to get more opioids I would feel better but I wouldn't call that a "craving." It didn't feel the same as the way I felt about food, or a particular type of food. For example sometimes I would just get a desire for a muskmelon. Often at the beginning of the season when they begin to be harvested, or a little before that, and then I would walk into the produce market, see and smell a ripe muskmelon, and feel that I would just love to have some of that. I might have not had a single muskmelon all winter long and living without muskmelon had not been a problem for me during those months. No cravings. Then muskmelon season starts and then muskmelons specifically are something I just want to have. Not the same thing as when I see a morphine tablet. I would call the desire for a muskmelon a craving, but the desire for morphine - it seems to be a different thing - I would call it simply an _understanding, _ knowledge, that morphine would make me feel better. And unlike eating that first bite of muskmelon, upon which I would feel a rush of pleasure immediately, it would take 20, 40 minutes before I began to feel better after swallowing a morphine tablet.

I really appreciate this video!

I'm here for the algorithm. Great video.

Pretty simple get facts about fentanyl and make a CHOICE not to start or endure consequences.

It lasts forever. I wish it was 10 days and back to normal. Even 10 weeks would be doable. It lasts forever and doesn't go away, ever. Your brain is only good at adapting to the pleasure. Take away the opiates, and it can't climb out of the hole

Stopped taking fent with no subs, no kratom, no benzos, no immodium n been clean for almost 7 years now. Don't let videos like these put you off. Stay hydrated, try and eat as much as you can, even if it's two bites, and focus on filling that daily void. Start walking, start reading, start painting, do whatever the fuck, just keep yourself busy.

8 yrs now off heroin. Thankfully, I missed the fentanyl craze. I don’t think I could even find smack if I wanted too. Thank Goddess.

The stuff of nightmares. Pure poison. Blessed to be where I am today, active addiction is truly hell on earth. RIP to all my friends who lost their opportunity to change and sending love to those fighting to get their lives back 🙏🙏🙏

Fentanyl, Xylazine, Heroin and Suboxone... what is the worst-case withdrawal ?

3 years sober from fentanyl for me. After 20 years.

I've been clean off fentanyl for 7 years. The withdrawals were hell on earth. Since then I have turned to heroin and gone cold turkey off of a daily habit a total of 6 times, including once from Iv use. Never experienced any withdrawal beyond sneezing and a sore stomach. I genuinely believe fentanyl withdrawals made me tolerant to opioid wds from weaker opioids like diamorphine

This is a much needed discussion. Addiction treatment using medication is the most successful and scientific way to start the recovery process. It saves lives, it makes people able to live normal lives, it provides much needed stability for people and gives them the opportunity to consider tapering and gradual reduction of their dose towards full cessation. Add some counselling and group therapy to it and the success rates would be surprising. Almost all other expensive treatment methods such as rehabs and detox are useless and only lead to disappointment!

Suboxone saved my life.

If you are abusing opioids, stop before you lose your Rx. This may be the only chance you will have to taper your meds. The first time you tell yourself you have to use, quite. The cravings will only get worse. The war on drugs has removed all the recreational drugs that would be in the USA. Now you have cartels that control it and sell only the most powerful drugs. At some point drugs will be legalized if only to insure people can trust that the drugs they take, are what they say they are. You are the only one who can stop drug abuse. It can't be done for you.

6 months sober from fent. I honestly miss the high sometimes, but it's not worth the time, money, or my life. Anyone reading this, you CAN do it. I know how unbelievably hard it seems, but you can.

not one mention of why fentanyl is so much worse than heroin or other drugs to withdrawal from - way to use the fentanyl buzzword train to sell your video

Unfortunately most people only learn about something when they go through it themselves

i dont think the title is optimal it should read 'why so many people think fentanyl is so unbearable i have never seen any one srop taking too much drugs and get worse your title doesn't actually make sense.

Excellent Explanation and Presentation, but unfortunately I do not think either Methadone or very little help actually available, where and when it is needed...

That was an excellent video. For me the tremors were the worse, legs then arms then ur whole torso shake and twitch and it is impossible to get comfortable so u can't even sleep it out.

alcohol withdrawal 10x worse

You forgot the symptom that makes you use counterfeit bills

Clean since Jan 2010 👍 14 years and counting! We do recover ❤

This women is amazing what a pro ❤️

The most harmful, irrational ‘values’ are generally instilled in our society by rich, powerful people who stand to make money off of it. Follow the money and you will see.

I learned a lot. Thanks.

Nobody cares.

If a person is taking 50 milligrams of fentanyl by mouth in about 2 months what would you recommend they stop using?

that background humm/beep got to me........ why put that in?.

11 months clean off morphine, methadone, heroin and cocaine, after 13 years of opiate abuse from 14 to 27 it is possible ! I’ve suffered through the worst withdrawals with methadone going from 400mg IV use to 0. Two weeks of hell, no sleep despite heavy medication, I was crying and beating my head against the walls, it was unimaginable torture. I also did many heroin and morphine heavy IV use withdrawals (up to 2g of pure morphine daily meaning 10g of 20% pure H), the worst for me was the terrible sense of anxiety, depression and doom, absence of sleep, impossibility to feel relaxed or comfortable ever except for the 30-40 seconds after you have thrown up, but at least you feel much better at day 7, for methadone you feel at your worst at day 7. Anyway glad to be out of that hell, I wake up every morning and feel good, and I need nothing whatsoever to stay that way. Thank god and thank AA meets ❤

I give all you a BIG advice , when you have to go on withdrawl. I was on a horrible, cold, withdrawl from fentanyl and my doctor gave me Clonidine. After about 20 minutes , the symptoms where so nearly gone, i was able to sleep. BUT you have to VERY carefull because it's a high blood pressure medication. To everyone who is suffering , i wish you all the best. Sry for my bad english, i'm not a native speaker ;-)

If people know they will become addicted why do they start.

All self inflicted

Opioids really do be the best substance when it vomes to easily getting addicted. I started off very simple and graduated.to heroin. Im lucky i stopped when i did, now that fentanyl is everywhere.

Both my parents are Fentanyl addicts. They enjoy it.❤

No, giving people methadone is not an even reasonably effective treatment. It just means you have a somewhat functional addict. Harm reduction has not worked anywhere. Sorry to burst your hopes, but abstinence is the only way that 100% works, and there is one game in town for that.

This is the biggest lie I've ever seen in my life. Years ago someone I know was given fentanyl for chronic pain management. It didn't work for them. All they did was to stop taking it ‼️📣 That's it, no withdrawals, nothing ‼️📣 It didn't work so they just stopped taking it and never took it again ‼️📣 Not everybody goes through withdrawal/ get sick/ anything negative at all when they stop taking opioids and they should never be forced to pay any price/ prices at all for those who do; especially via stricter laws& regulations as everyone is an individual, everyone's biology is different and everyone should be treated as such 🤬‼️📣 Most addicts are not addicted to the drugs, the drugs are a very minor player in drug addiction; the vast majority of addicts just love to have drugs to blame as an easy justification to use as an easy excuse to blame for the things that they just want to do anyways, for example they like to have a whole lot of s*x with multiple people, even strangers, so they will blame that by saying that they p*ostitute in order to feed their addiction, no the drugs ain't the problem, the problem is that you like to have s*x with no morals/ consequences and you use drug addiction as your excuse, that is the real problem, that is the #1 reason but the very strong second reason is that the vast majority of addicts are addicted to the addict's lifestyle, that's it and until drug addiction is no longer acceptable as an excuse and until their addiction to the addict's lifestyle is address, then no amount of drug rehabilitation will ever work ‼️📣
