Fentanyl Patch
Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid introduced as an intravenous anesthetic under the trade name of Sublimaze in the 1960s. The strength of this drug gives it a high potential for abuse. Drug rehab treatment is critical for anyone addicted to Fentanyl, which is abused for its intense euphoric effects. Fentanyl can serve as a direct substitute for heroin in opioid-dependent individuals. However, Fentanyl is a very dangerous substitute for heroin because it is much more potent than heroin and results in frequent overdoses that can lead to respiratory depression and death.
