What are Opioids?
Opioids are chemicals or drugs that act on a specific part of the brain called opioid receptors. Our bodies actually produce a small amount of natural opioids that bind to those receptors to help us deal with pain and calm us down. Prescription opioids bind to these same receptors. They were intended to help with severe or chronic pain, but they can also produce a heightened sense of pleasure or euphoria for some people.
Original opioids like morphine were made from the poppy plant, but now many prescription opioids are synthetic versions that have been created in a laboratory. Some of the common opioids include hydrocodone (Vicodin), oxycodone (OxyContin or Percocet), oxymorphone (Opana), morphine (Kadian or Avinza), codeine and fentanyl.
FAST FACTS ABOUT FENTANYL
Fentanyl is a strong synthetic opioid and is often described as 80-100 times stronger than morphine, or about 50 times stronger than heroin. This makes it riskier and more likely to cause an overdose.
Increased use of illicit fentanyl is driving a significant increase in overdose deaths, worsening the existing opioid crisis. Lack of accessible resources and the stigma often experienced by people who use drugs makes addressing this crisis more difficult.
Illicit fentanyl sold on the street comes in the form of pressed pills that look like prescription medications, sometimes colored blue, or in the form of a white, gray, or tan powder. These pills and powders can be swallowed, smoked, injected, or snorted. Fentanyl can also be found in other drugs, such as meth, cocaine, heroin, or benzodiazepines like Xanax.
Fentanyl is not “naloxone resistant.”
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
Fentanyl is an opioid and will respond to naloxone if someone is overdosing. When it appears that someone is overdosing but is not responding to naloxone, it may be because:
the naloxone needs more time to take effect (wait 2-3 mins before administering more naloxone)
they need more than one dose of naloxone (wait 2-3 minutes between doses)
the naloxone was administered after the person had been without oxygen for too long
STAY VIGILANT AND ASSUME RISK
Fentanyl can also be mixed with other drugs. Samples of black tar heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and counterfeit or pressed pills have tested positive for fentanyl.
Any drug or medication purchased illegally or given to you outside of a medical setting is unpredictable and inconsistent. Assume there is a risk of overdosing, no matter what drug you’re using. If you are going to use, talk to a medical provider or community service provider about harm reduction strategies that may be most appropriate for you.
