Fentanyl's potency means the gap between a normal dose and a fatal one is measured in specks of powder. It is not mixed evenly, so two pills from the same bag can behave completely differently.[1]
Opioid withdrawal is rarely fatal on its own, but it is severe enough that most people relapse to stop it — vomiting, diarrhea, insomnia, restless legs, crushing anxiety, and with tranq in the mix, agitation that lasts longer than classic dope sickness.[4]
Tolerance falls fast after even a few days without opioids, which is why the days right after jail, detox or a hospital stay carry the highest overdose risk. A structured step-down into PHP or IOP is a safety plan, not just a schedule.
