Hear It from Our Clients
Our Fentanyl Detox Program
Fentanyl is a strong synthetic opioid, used medically for severe pain. It’s also found in many illicit drugs, like heroin or fake pills. It’s a very potent, powerful substance, and has a high risk of misuse and overdose.
Withdrawal from any opioid often brings strong physical symptoms, cravings, and emotional distress, and medical detox offers support during this first stage of recovery.
Why Choose Mount Sinai Wellness Center
Medical Detox for Withdrawal
Fentanyl withdrawal can bring intense cravings and symptoms. The detox team monitors you and supports stabilization.
Medication Support If Needed
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, when paired with therapy.
Care for Mental Health Needs
Substance use often occurs with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other concerns. Dual-diagnosis care treats both together.
A Clear Step Into Treatment
After detox, our team helps you move into inpatient/residential care, therapy, and relapse prevention support.
What to Expect During Fentanyl Detox
Fentanyl withdrawal varies by person. Your symptoms depend on how long you used fentanyl, how often you used it, your dose, and your overall health.
During detox, your team may:
- Review your substance use and health history
- Track changes in comfort and withdrawal symptoms
- Support hydration, rest, and safety
- Discuss medication support when appropriate
- Help you plan the next level of care
After you are medically stable, your team will help you move into ongoing treatment for opiate addiction.

I can honestly say that not only did Mt. Sinai save my life, but they have helped me enhance the quality of the rest of my life. The facilities are incredible, the staff is genuine and I they truly care about the quality of your stay and the success of your recovery.
