California, particularly Northern California, is experiencing an opioid crisis.

New Start Recovery Solutions - Bay Area and Northern California Opioid Crisis and Treatment

San Francisco police chief Bill Scott noted that a June 2021 fentanyl seizure contained “enough lethal overdoses to wipe out San Francisco’s population four times over”.

June 2021 – Fentanyl Seizure in San Francisco

Fentanyl amount that it takes to cause an overdose:
About the same size as two grains of salt.

Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 25 to 50 times more powerful than heroin, is a newcomer to the California illegal drug scene.

In recent years fentanyl has been responsible for more overdose deaths in San Francisco than any other drug.

In May 2021, the SFPD says that officers have seized 7.9 kilograms of fentanyl from dealers on the street and their suppliers so far this year.

Fentanyl is Deadly – Why Take It?

The short answer is:
Many people do not realize they are taking fentanyl.

There is significant risk that illegal drugs have been intentionally contaminated with fentanyl.  Because of its potency and low cost, drug dealers have been mixing fentanyl with other drugs including heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine. This increases the likelihood of a fatal interaction.

https://www.dea.gov/resources/facts-about-fentanyl

Teenagers, young adults and anyone who takes counterfeit pills have no idea whether the pills have added fentanyl.

Increasingly, illegal drugs have fentanyl added.

Chico California Mass Overdose Jan 2021

January 2021 Chico CA: A man died and 12 people were hospitalized in what Northern California authorities described as a mass casualty overdose caused by fentanyl.

Four of the victims were in critical condition, said Mike O’Brien, police captain in Chico, California.

Drug Overdose Deaths – The Silent Epidemic

“I don’t think the general public really understands the scope of the epidemic. If you look in individual counties’ data and in all of 2020 – 3 times more people died in San Francisco [of drug overdoses] than died of COVID.”

‘One of the main causes of the trend is an increase in the use of fentanyl in California, a drug where a single misstep in the dosage can lead to an overdose’, said Dr. Aimee Moulin, behavioral health director at the Emergency Department at U.C. Davis.

‘Fentanyl is also killing a lot of young people’, said Dr. Moulin. Those aged 20-34 years old died more from fentanyl overdoses than from other types of drugs.

Teen Buys ‘Xanax’ on Social Media and Gets Fentanyl

TV host Dr. Laura Berman reveals her son Samuel, 16, died from a drug overdose after he purchased Xanax laced with Fentanyl on social media.

Berman claimed that a drug dealer had connected with Samuel online and ‘gave him fentanyl laced Xanax and he overdosed in his room’.

‘We watched him so closely. Straight A student. Getting ready for college,’ Berman wrote.  ‘Experimentation gone bad. He got the drugs delivered to the house.’

‘We encourage every parent to manage their children’s social media as closely as possible.’

COVID-19 Loneliness, Mental Health, and Substance Use Among Young Adults

National Institutes of Health Study “As COVID-19 converges with loneliness and addiction epidemics in the US, both public health and mental health experts forecast dramatic increases in substance use and mental health conditions. 

Forty-nine percent of respondents reported loneliness scores above 50. Another 80% reported significant depressive symptoms; 61% reported moderate to severe anxiety; 30% disclosed harmful levels of drinking.

Loneliness was associated with higher levels of mental health symptoms. Participants reported significant increases across mental health and substance use symptoms since COVID-19.”

Drug Overdose Deaths Surged Nearly 30% in 2020 During COVID

According to preliminary data from the CDC – drug overdose deaths in the U.S. surged nearly 30% in 2020. The provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was released in early July 2021.

This the sharpest annual increase in drug overdose deaths in at least three decades. The surge was apparently driven by negative mental health effects of the pandemic and increased use of fentanyl.

Researchers believe the overdose increase is the result of the deadly effects of fentanyl and the destabilizing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Individual Therapy and Groups for First Responders

Firefighters, police, EMS and other emergency services providers are seldom called on to rescue cute kittens from trees. On a daily basis, first responders see accident victims horribly injured or burned, rescue survivors crushed in crumbling buildings, fight overwhelming forest fires, pull residents from burning buildings. Or they may be called on to defuse situations ranging from domestic disputes to a hostage crisis.

For first responders, work stress takes an emotional and mental toll. Therapy and counseling can help resolve trauma and provide support and coping skills.

Individual Therapy and Groups for Professionals

Impaired professionals are found in all professions. Any intense work environment with pressure to perform is at risk for development of burn out, mental health and substance abuse issues.

Professions that experience high levels of anxiety, depression, functional alcoholism and substance abuse include:

• Attorneys
• Doctors and Medical Professionals
• Airline Pilots and Flight Attendants
• IT Professionals

M.A.T. Addiction Recovery Treatment for Opioid Addiction

New Start Recovery Solutions uses MAT Medication-Assisted Therapy in opioid addiction treatment.

What is MAT Medication Assisted Treatment?

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a whole patient approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. Medications used in MAT are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). MAT programs are clinically driven and tailored to meet each patient’s needs.

MAT is used for the treatment of addiction to opioids such as heroin and prescription pain relievers. MAT is also effective for treating addiction to alcohol.

Research shows that a combination of medication and therapy can successfully treat alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorders. For some individuals struggling with addiction, MAT can help sustain recovery. MAT is also used to prevent or reduce opioid overdose.

Treatment with the FDA-approved medications methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone are recognized to be lifesaving and the most effective forms of treatment for opioid use disorder.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a whole patient approach to the treatment of opioid use disorders. Medications used in MAT are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Our M.A.T. programs are dual diagnosis – which means mental health care and addiction treatment. New Start Recovery Solutions addiction rehab treatment treatment is clinically driven and personalized to meet each patient’s needs.

Research shows that a combination of medication and therapy can successfully treat opioid use disorders. For individuals struggling with opioid addiction – M.A.T. helps to establish long-term recovery.

The first step in addiction recovery is Detox.

With the use of M.A.T. Medication Assisted Treatment – there is no painful ‘withdrawal’.

What is Fentanyl?

What is Fentanyl?
  • Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is similar to morphine.
  • However, fentanyl is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine.
  • Synthetic opioids like fentanyl have been identified in more than two-thirds of opioid overdoses reported nationally in 2019. 
  • Fentanyl is the most potent opioid pain reliever available for use in medical treatment.
  • And fentanyl is extremely addictive.
Who is At Risk for Fentanyl Overdose?
  • Most individuals never try to take fentanyl.
  • However, many illegal drugs now contain fentanyl to ‘increase the strength’ of the drug sold.
  • Especially since COVID-19 – adolescents, parents, professionals, athletes and more can now more easily buy illegal ‘party drugs’ on the internet.
  • Illegally made drugs are not tested for quality. Illegal drugs vary wildly in purity and strength.
  • Increasingly, illegal drugs bought on the internet (and sold on the street) contain fentanyl. Just a few grains of fentanyl powder causes overdose.
How powerful is Fentanyl?
  • A lethal dose of fentanyl is considered to be 2 milligrams. If fentanyl is taken with other opiates, the lethal dose is smaller than 2 milligrams.
  • A sweetener packet at restaurant tables contains about 1,000 milligrams.
  • Two milligrams of fentanyl can kill you.
  • In individuals with a developed tolerance, the lethal dose of fentanyl is very small compared to the potential lethal doses of other opiate drugs.
  • For example: A lethal dose for heroin is reported to be between 75 and 375 mg. A lethal dose of fentanyl for most adults is 2 milligrams.
Who Takes Fentanyl?
  • Who takes fentanyl? Dr. Christopher Colwell, the chief of emergency medicine in San Francisco at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, has recently seen an increase in the emergency room for medical issues related to fentanyl use and overdoses.
  • Dr. Christopher Colwell has seen a variety of patients in his ER needing treatment for fentanyl. Patients included nurses, a professional athlete, a drug dealer and a lawyer who lost consciousness in court. Also needing emergency treatment for fentanyl were two young adolescents, 14 and 15 years old; and a 7 year old who got into a stash in her mother’s purse. 
  • “That’s just in the last couple weeks,” Colwell said. “It’s really remarkable because it runs the entire spectrum. This affects all walks of life, all folks. It’s hard to overstate how impactful it can be to anyone. It doesn’t seem to care about race or background or gender — or anything.” Read more at Fentanyl has changed the whole landscape’: San Francisco faces worst drug epidemic ever
Fentanyl Facts
  • Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid that is very effective at relieving moderate-to-severe chronic pain.
  • Oral formulations of fentanyl contain an amount of the drug that can be fatal to a child.
  • The difference between a therapeutic dose and a deadly dose of fentanyl is very small.
  • There are many illegal analogs and derivatives of fentanyl that are much stronger than the prescription version.
  • Recreational users often seek fentanyl as a substitute for heroin.
  • Increasingly, many illegal drugs now contain fentanyl to ‘increase the strength’ of the drug sold.
  • The problem: A few extra grains of fentanyl can cause death.
  • For Details on Addiction Recovery Help Available, See Silicon Valley and East Bay Medical Detox, Dual Diagnosis Rehab
Is Fentanyl use really a problem?
  • The number of deaths from fentanyl overdoses has jumped by more than 2100% in California in five years. The most recent estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), show that overdoses of synthetic opioids (mostly fentanyl) killed nearly 4,000 residents in California last year.
  • Drug deaths in San Francisco are averaging about two a day. Fentanyl has flooded the illicit drug market.
  • Many overdoses occurred from illegal drugs purchased that had added fentanyl. The buyers had no awareness that fentanyl had been added. Illegal drugs are not tested for purity.
  • The CDC has predicted there will be record breaking amount of drug overdoses as the number continues to rise.
  • Although the opioid epidemic seemed to slow in 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 caused a ripple effect of death from the disease, and an increase in addiction.
  • Drug overdoses rose across the country during the coronavirus pandemic. But in San Francisco, overdoses skyrocketed. In 2020, drug overdoses claimed 713 lives.
  • This was more than double the 257 San Francisco residents who died of the COVID-19 virus in 2020. 
What is the treatment for Fentanyl overdose?
  • Naloxone is the treatment for rapidly reversing a fentanyl overdose.
  • However, getting overdose treatment in time to avoid death is a challenge. Fentanyl is a fast-acting drug; every minute is critical in an overdose situation.
  • Those experiencing an overdose involving fentanyl may require higher naloxone doses and multiple administrations to reverse the overdose and to become stabilized.
  • Police and first responders at a crime scene or helping an overdose victim are at risk from inadvertently touching or inhaling any fentanyl powder that may be present.
What is the treatment for Fentanyl addiction?
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is considered the ‘gold standard’ treatment for opioid addiction. 
  • At New Start Recovery Solutions, we use Medication-Assisted Treatment for treatment of addiction to opioids, including fentanyl.
  • In Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), we use FDA approved medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide whole patient treatment for fentanyl and opioid addictions. 
  • There is no painful withdrawal with medication-assisted treatment. The M.A.T. medication also reduces cravings.
  • There is life beyond opioid addictions – we can help! Call 866-303-6275 for a confidential consultation.
