Episode 76: Fentanyl Addiction - The Synthetic Opioid Crisis | South Carolina Addiction Treatment
Fentanyl has reshaped the overdose crisis, driving unprecedented risk through its extreme potency and unpredictable presence in the illicit drug supply. In this episode of The Behavioral Health Answers Podcast, we examine Fentanyl Addiction, clarifying why this synthetic opioid is so dangerous and what effective recovery requires.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What fentanyl is and how it differs from other opioids
• Why illegally manufactured fentanyl dramatically increases overdose risk
• Common signs of opioid use disorder and escalating dependence
• Why withdrawal and detox must be medically supervised
• How comprehensive treatment supports long-term recovery
This episode emphasizes a critical takeaway: fentanyl’s danger lies in both its potency and unpredictability. Education, early intervention, and access to structured, medical care are essential to saving lives and supporting sustainable recovery.
