Fentanyl is an extremely potent and dangerous opioid. It has become one of the most destructive substances in the Canadian opioid crisis.
Fentanyl addiction is a very destructive disorder that can lead to fatal consequences even when consumed in extremely low quantities.
A user can overdose on a tiny amount of fentanyl. It is estimated to be around100 times more potent than heroin.
Substances sold in the illegal market as other drugs such as heroin or cocaine now often contain fentanyl, making people far more likely to overdose.
Once a person has developed a dependence on fentanyl, they must seek professional support to stop using.
