Unwrapping Fentanyl Addiction: Path to Health and Healing with Dr. Griner

April Marquez • March 5, 2025

Living in the hustle and bustle of "Music City," you may find that health and wellness sometimes take a backseat to performance and productivity. Meet Dr. Griner, a dedicated Family Physician at Affordable & Restorative Health in Nashville, TN, who reminds us that good health is the greatest melody we can master.

Fighting Fentanyl Addiction: The Key to Your Own Revival

Fentanyl addiction is a serious issue that has been stealthily climbing the charts of public health issues in recent years. A potent prescription painkiller, fentanyl addiction can spiral quickly, seemingly without warning. However, there is hope and a path to recovery. Affordable & Restorative Health is committed to combating this epidemic by offering Fentanyl Addiction Treatment.

Your Health Hits a High Note: Understanding Fentanyl

Education is an essential part of battling addiction. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid, around 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. It's typically used to treat severe pain, often prescribed post-surgery, or for people with chronic pain who have developed resistance to other opioids. Owing to its potency, it is also misused, often leading to addiction and even deadly overdoses.

Drumming out the Danger: Recognizing the Need to Seek Help

Just as in music, timing in health is crucial. Understanding when to seek help for fentanyl addiction could be the line between life and death. Early signs could include problems at work or school due to misuse, withdrawal from social and recreational activities, continued use despite it causing trouble in relationships, and habitual craving or strong desire to use the drug. If any of these signs are evident, it’s time to seek help.

Playing the Right Tune: Fentanyl Addiction Treatment at Affordable & Restorative Health

At Affordable & Restorative Health, we focus on the journey to health through an evidence-based, individualized approach.

Your Solo: How You Can Help Yourself

The bravest step in battling any addiction is acknowledging the need for help. After that, adhering to the treatment plan and taking medication as prescribed, staying active, maintaining a balanced diet, practicing stress-relief techniques, and continuing participation in counseling and support groups are the keys to restoring your health.
