Understanding Fentanyl
Fentanyl is far stronger than heroin and now shows up in pills, powders and other drugs, often without the person knowing. That raises overdose risk for anyone using opioids and for people who do not think they are.
Read our guides to fentanyl in Houston and xylazine and nitazenes.
Recognizing the Pattern
Mixing opioids with benzodiazepines or alcohol raises the danger further. Learn why mixing is so dangerous.
Medication
Prescribed and monitored by our own psychiatric team, as part of a full plan.
We offer buprenorphine (Suboxone) and naltrexone as part of a full treatment plan, prescribed by our psychiatric team. Medication steadies the body so therapy can do its work.

Before You Start
You will not have to plan the next step on your own.
Fentanyl withdrawal can be severe. When medical detox is needed, we refer you to a trusted detox partner and plan your start with us before you leave.
Whole Person Care
Fentanyl and heroin care builds on our opioid and prescription drug treatment.
Levels of Care
Every plan starts with a clinical assessment. Intensity steps down as you stabilize, with the same team the whole way.
Most Individualized
A private plan built around one person, combining therapy, structure and recovery mentoring at the intensity you need.
Full Day Structure
Full days of structured treatment on weekdays, with a chef prepared lunch, while you return home each evening.
Fits Your Week
Groups and individual therapy several days a week, stepping down as you stabilize.
After Work
Tuesday through Thursday, 5:15 to 8:15 pm, in person or virtual, so you can keep working.

Common Questions
For guidance about your situation, call admissions at (877) 549-5102.
Yes, when it is clinically appropriate. Your psychiatrist will walk you through timing.
The approach is similar, though fentanyl often needs more careful medication timing.
Many families start there. See Helping a Loved One and our intervention services.
We are private pay and provide superbills you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement. You can check your benefits with our out-of-network benefits check.
Slow or stopped breathing, blue lips or fingertips, pinpoint pupils and unresponsiveness. Call 911 immediately and give naloxone if you have it. Keep naloxone where you and the people around you can reach it.
With opioids, often yes. A medical evaluation comes first, we help coordinate detox when it is needed, and care picks up as soon as you are medically stable.
There is no fixed length. Some people use buprenorphine or naltrexone for months, others for years. The decision is clinical, made with you, and revisited rather than set by a schedule.
