Fentanyl is a powerful opioid pain reliever that\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dea.gov\/factsheets\/fentanyl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">80 to 100 times<\/a>&nbsp;more powerful than&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/morphine-addiction\/\">morphine<\/a>. Duragesic is long-lasting and has a slow onset time. It\u2019s typically prescribed for the management of chronic pain. Because it is so strong, the drug is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/drugInfo.cfm?setid=4c3a6171-19e4-40c2-83f3-fb54d4736e4b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">only prescribed<\/a>&nbsp;to people who are opioid-tolerant, meaning they have taken the equivalent of 60 mg or higher morphine doses every day for at least a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Signs, Symptoms &amp; Side Effects of Abuse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Common side effects of Duragesic&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/drugInfo.cfm?setid=4c3a6171-19e4-40c2-83f3-fb54d4736e4b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">include<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-columns-2\"><li>Gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea<\/li><li>Sleep-related side effects like drowsiness, fatigue or insomnia<\/li><li>Dizziness<\/li><li>Excessive sweating<\/li><li>Feeling cold<\/li><li>Weight loss<\/li><li>Headache<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Addiction can occur in stages that worsen over time. If someone begins to struggle with Duragesic use, the first signs are often behavioral,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/easyread.drugabuse.gov\/content\/what-are-some-signs-and-symptoms-someone-drug-use-problem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">such as<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-columns-3\"><li>Social withdrawal<\/li><li>Avoidance of family or old friends<\/li><li>Spending an excessive amount of time with new friends<\/li><li>Losing interest in things<\/li><li>Mood swings<\/li><li>Irritability<\/li><li>Sleep problems or abnormal sleep patterns<\/li><li>Missing appointments or deadlines<\/li><li>Problems with work, school or family<\/li><li>Reckless behavior<\/li><li>Legal problems<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If these signs become noticeable in yourself or in someone you love, do not hesitate to seek professional help as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Duragesic Overdose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Duragesic suppresses the autonomic respiratory drive by acting directly on the brain stem, which is the area of the brain that controls breathing. The drug is a potent central nervous system depressant. Especially if a person is not tolerant to opioids, even a low dose of Duragesic can cause overdose and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who have taken too much can deteriorate rapidly from poor coordination to unresponsiveness. The person may be able to respond to questions with short phrases one moment and be unaware of their surroundings in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the onset of an overdose, several warning signs may be present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary symptoms of Duragesic overdose include pinpoint pupils, decreased level of consciousness and severe respiratory depression. Respiratory depression, or slowed breathing, is often the ultimate cause of death when an overdose occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fentanyl patches can result in a fatal overdose&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/drugInfo.cfm?setid=4c3a6171-19e4-40c2-83f3-fb54d4736e4b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">after just one dose<\/a>. The amount of Duragesic necessary to overdose varies dramatically among individuals. For this reason, doctors practice extreme caution when prescribing Duragesic, often giving patients the lowest possible dose until they become tolerant to the medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-emphasis\">In the event of an emergency, or if you believe you are witnessing an opioid overdose, call 911 immediately. If available and used correctly,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/treatment-program\/addiction-medications\/narcan\/\">naloxone<\/a>&nbsp;can be used to help reverse an opioid overdose while waiting for help to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Duragesic and Alcohol<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailymed.nlm.nih.gov\/dailymed\/drugInfo.cfm?setid=4c3a6171-19e4-40c2-83f3-fb54d4736e4b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">not mix<\/a>&nbsp;alcohol and Duragesic, as combining the two substances can produce dangerous effects. Because both substances depress your central nervous system and your respiratory function, using them together puts patients at high risk of overdose, coma and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Long-Term Consequences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you have taken Duragesic as prescribed over the long-term, abuse, dependence and addiction will always be risks. This is because of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/fentanyl-addiction\/what-fentanyl-does-to-your-body\/\">the way the drug works<\/a>&nbsp;on the brain\u2019s reward system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Duragesic Withdrawal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in stopping an opioid treatment, set up a meeting with your doctor so that they can gradually lower your dosage over time. This tapering off strategy will help your body adequately adjust to less and less of the medication. Duragesic should never be stopped suddenly or \u201ccold turkey,\u201d as this can produce unwanted withdrawal symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are having difficulties managing withdrawal symptoms, you may want to enter a medically assisted detoxification program. This provides patients with a safe place where they can detox while they access medically trained staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone experiences withdrawal differently and you should never be afraid to ask for help during this difficult time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Withdrawal Symptoms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Common withdrawal symptoms from opioids like Duragesic&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK310652\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">include<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-columns-3\"><li>Nausea\/vomiting<\/li><li>Anxiety<\/li><li>Insomnia<\/li><li>Hot\/cold flashes<\/li><li>Sweating<\/li><li>Cramps<\/li><li>Runny eyes\/nose<\/li><li>Diarrhea<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, do not suddenly stop taking Duragesic as withdrawal symptoms may become enhanced and more uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Withdrawal Timeline and Symptom Duration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you stop taking Duragesic, withdrawal symptoms can start&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK310652\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">between 8 and 24 hours<\/a>&nbsp;after the last dose and may last for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK310652\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4 to 10 days<\/a>. However, everyone experiences withdrawal differently. Factors contributing to how long you may experience withdrawal symptoms include your age, metabolism, organ functions, how long you have been using Duragesic, your Duragesic dosage levels and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Duragesic Addiction Treatment &amp; Detox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Recovery Village has many resources and programs for patients looking to recover from Duragesic addiction. Before patients enter either inpatient or outpatient Duragesic rehab, they are required to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/treatment-program\/drug-detox\/\">detox<\/a>&nbsp;from Duragesic. Once all of the medication is safely removed from the body, patients benefit from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/treatment-program\/addiction-therapies\/individual-vs-group\/\">individual and group counseling<\/a>&nbsp;sessions and recreational therapy activities during their time at The Recovery Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inpatient Rehab<br><\/strong>Inpatient rehab is a program that allows patients to live on campus at one of The Recovery Village\u2019s designated inpatient centers while they recover from addiction. This treatment option is especially beneficial for patients who have been diagnosed with severe addiction or those who may find it difficult to recover due to distractions from their home life. In the inpatient rehab program, patients will learn how to manage their unique addiction challenges from professionally trained staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Outpatient Rehab<br><\/strong>Once a patient is finished with inpatient Duragesic rehab, they will continue their treatment with outpatient rehab. In the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/treatment-program\/outpatient\/\">outpatient program<\/a>, patients will live at home while they come to The Recovery Village for their scheduled treatment appointments. Some patients who have less severe addiction may actually begin their recovery with outpatient rehab rather than participate in an inpatient therapy program. Following outpatient rehab, aftercare options, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/treatment-program\/online-counseling\/telehealth-app\/\">teletherapy<\/a>, are available to ensure you have the support you need as you reenter life without Duragesic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Choosing a Rehab Center<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing a rehab center is an important step in a patient\u2019s journey to living a happier, healthier substance-free life. You may want to set up a meeting with your doctor to discuss which features you need to seek in a center to make the most informed decision possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or someone you know is suffering from Duragesic addiction, get help as soon as possible.

In cases of severe overdose, multiple doses may be necessary. Naloxone reverses the effects of opioids by forcing them to release their bond with opioid receptor sites in the body. If you suspect an opioid overdose, you should always call 911 after giving naloxone, even if the person starts to feel better. Naloxone can wear off within <a href=\\\"https:\/\/aahealth.org\/naloxone-frequently-asked-questions\/\\\">90 minutes<\/a>, and the person can overdose again if they still have high fentanyl levels in their body.<\/p>\"\n\t                    }\n\t                },\n\t                {\n\t                    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n\t                    \"name\": \"How long does Duragesic stay in your system?\",\n\t                    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\t                        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\t                        \"text\": \"<p>The windows of time in which the fentanyl in Duragesic can be detected in your system will vary between the type of test you are administered.
