If you or someone you know is struggling with dependence, learning about Valerylfentanyl addiction detox rehab options can be crucial.
It is illegal to possess it and you can not get it on a prescription.
Valerylfentanyl is sold as a designer drug.
Using it is dangerous.
It is easy to overdose on it and without intensive medical intervention, it is unlikely you would survive.
Usually it is sold in tablet form but it can be produced as a nasal spray, in liquid form as well as being in a form that can be injected.
Valerylfentanyl is not a new drug.
It has been around since the 1960's.
In the early 2000's it use began to become problematic and deaths started to rise, quickly, in 2014.
By 2016 the problem was causing hundreds of death, a week, across Europe and America.

What does Valerylfentanyl do to the body?
Valerylfentanyl is an opioid and thus it sits on the opioid receptors in the brain (and spinal cord) .
The drug opens up chemical channels leading to an increase in naturally occurring chemicals to be released.
This is why opioids block pain signals and produce a feeling of euphoria.
Due to the strength of Valerylfentanyl it is common to feel intense itching and experience severe nausea.
These are signs of an opioid overdose.
More likely the drug will reduce your respiratory system to the point that you are rendered unconscious, if not leading to a fatality.
Exposure, even to a minute amount, can be fatal.
If you use it on a regular basis, the brain alters the way it works to accommodate the presence of the drug on receptors.
This is known as tolerance.
You will more and more to have the same effect as the amount you took when you first discovered Valerylfentanyl.

Is Valerylfentanyl the same as Fentanyl?
Valerylfentanyl is what is known as an analog drug. In this case, an analog of Fentanyl.
Analog drugs are made using the formula for the original drug with a slight alternation.
Fentanyl was invented in the 1960's in Belgium by a chemist: Dr Paul Janssen as a potent pain killer to be used in the treatment of chronic and severe pain.
In the 1960's, there were no super fast acting opioids that could be used in surgery or for patients having treatment for cancer.
Fentanyl has many uses within the field of medicine.
Valerylfentanyl does not have any.
It is illegal and has no place in any legimate medical practice.

Understanding Valerylfentanyl addiction
Valerylfentanyl is extremely potent.
As such, addiction will develop: Very, very quickly.
Due to it solely being an illegal drug you have no control over what you are actually taking.
It is unlikely that what you take is not contaminated with other drugs.
When people use it to try and cope with the symptoms of PTSD and poor mental health they will become addicted more quickly and for longer than those who use it for pain control.

Overdose risks of Valerylfentanyl
It is incredibly easy to overdose on Valerylfentanyl.
Exposure to even a minute amount can be fatal.

Valerylfentanyl in street drugs
Valerylfentanyl is often added to street drugs, such as heroin and cocaine, without the users knowledge.
Dealers do this because Valerylfentanyl is cheap so they can bulk out their products.
There is no such thing as a reputable drug dealer.
What a pill contains one day is absolutely no guarantee that it will be the same the next day.

Mixing Valerylfentanyl with other drugs
Combining Valerylfentanyl with other drugs, especially Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants such as Benzodiazepines, dramatically increases the risk of overdose.
All these drugs do the same thing: Slow down your central nervous system which affects both your hear and breathing rate.
This can lead to a fatality even if you do have a degree of tolerance to either (or both) drugs.

Changes to brain chemistry
If you stop taking Valerylfentanyl suddenly (or reduce your use too quickly) the brain simply can not cope.
As a result, incorrect chemical messages are sent.
This results in physical symptoms known as withdrawal symptoms.
Withdrawal symptoms can start within a few hours of your last use and in some cases, can be fatal.
Some of the more common symptoms include:
Very intense cravings
Severe muscle aches
Chronic bone pain
Profuse sweating
Extreme nausea
vomiting and diarrhea
Insomnia
Uncontrollable restlessness
Raging anxiety
Dilated pupils
Constant running nose
Fast heart beat
Gooseflesh skin

Cravings
One of the most challenging aspect of recovery is cravings.
It can take the brain up to a year to recover from the absence of Valerylfentanyl.
During this time, especially in the early stages, craving can be a real problem.
Often cravings are triggered by being in situations connected with previous use or a moment of stress.
Cravings can be managed with skills learned in rehab.

The dangers of going cold turkey
Trying to treat yourself at home from Valerylfentanyl addiction is extremely dangerous and there have been cases of fatality.
Severe vomiting can lead to aspiration if you fall unconscious.
This will lead to aspiration pneumonia which is a life threatening condition.
Dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea can also be fatal unless electrolyte treatment is administered.
The biggest risk is accidental overdose.
When you stop using your brains tolerance drops: Fast.
If you succumb to cravings you are going to take an amount you think you need to settle yourself.
This will, most likely, be far more than your brain can tolerate, leading to a fatal overdose.

What about home treatment for Valerylfentanyl addiction?
Not reccomended.
Residential treatment is always the optimal treatment choice and will cost a lot less.
Treatment at home, because of the need for medical oversight and 24/7 nurse support would be incredibly cost prohibitive.
It is possible.
