Our physician-owned facility in Spokane Valley gives you a private, comfortable place to get through withdrawal safely and build the foundation for lasting recovery. Reach out today to talk with our team about your options.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid. According to the DEA, it is roughly 50 times stronger than heroin and about 100 times stronger than morphine. Pharmaceutical fentanyl is prescribed for severe pain, most often after surgery or for advanced cancer. The fentanyl behind most addiction and overdoses today is made illegally. It is pressed into counterfeit pills made to look like oxycodone or Xanax, sold as powder, or mixed into other drugs, often without the buyer knowing.
Because fentanyl is so potent, the body adapts to it quickly. Tolerance builds fast, and many people find they need more to feel the same effect or simply to avoid feeling sick. That cycle of chasing relief and avoiding withdrawal is what makes fentanyl addiction so hard to break without support.
That’s where professional treatment makes a difference. At Sequoia Recovery Centers, your care begins with a thorough assessment and a medically supervised detox. Our physicians and nurses manage your withdrawal symptoms so you can stabilize safely. Once detox is complete, we help you step into the level of care that fits your needs, from residential treatment to outpatient programs that let you return home each day.
Fentanyl has reshaped the drug supply across the Inland Northwest. The Spokane County Medical Examiner reported 344 overdose deaths in 2025, nearly the same as the year before and more than four times the 80 deaths recorded in 2019. Fentanyl was the second most common drug involved, behind methamphetamine. Most deaths involved more than one substance, most often fentanyl combined with meth.
These deaths are not limited to one neighborhood or group of people. Most fatal overdoses in Spokane County happen in private homes and affect people across every age group. If you or someone you love is using fentanyl, or using any street drug that could contain it, the risk is real and it is here. The good news is that effective treatment is available close to home.

When you stop using fentanyl, your body has to readjust to functioning without it. Withdrawal is rarely life-threatening on its own, but it can be intensely uncomfortable. Dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea can cause complications, and the severity of cravings is the main reason people return to use when they try to quit alone.
Withdrawal from short-acting opioids typically starts within hours of the last use, peaks over the next few days, and gradually eases over about a week. Fentanyl doesn’t always follow that pattern. Because fentanyl is stored in the body’s fat tissue, some people experience withdrawal that starts later, lasts longer, or feels less predictable than they expect. The timing of withdrawal medications also matters more with fentanyl. Starting certain medications too early can trigger sudden, severe withdrawal. This is one of the most important reasons to detox under medical supervision instead of on your own.
Every person’s withdrawal is different. How long you’ve been using, how much, how often, and whether you’ve been using other substances like meth, alcohol, or benzodiazepines all shape what detox will look like. Learn more about how long detox takes.
Quitting “cold turkey” at home is often unsuccessful. When withdrawal becomes overwhelming, many people use again just to feel normal. That relapse can be deadly. After even a few days without opioids, tolerance drops. A dose that someone used regularly before can now cause an overdose.
A medically supervised detox program keeps you safe during this vulnerable window. At Sequoia, you’ll have:
We also encourage every client and family to keep naloxone (Narcan) on hand. It can reverse an opioid overdose, and it’s available at Washington pharmacies without a prescription.
We understand how challenging it can be to know if and when you or your loved one needs help with addiction. By taking this quiz, you can get a quick assessment of some signs that may indicate whether or not you need to reach out for help.
Detox manages the physical side of fentanyl dependence, but it doesn’t address why addiction took hold or how to stay well afterward. Similar to an ER visit for an asthma attack, detox provides immediate stabilization. Ongoing treatment is what changes the long-term course.
At Sequoia Recovery Centers, our fentanyl rehab program is built on evidence-based therapies and a whole-person approach. Your treatment plan is tailored to your personal goals and values and may include:
Medical Detox Medically supervised detox is the first level of care for most people who use fentanyl. Our team uses medication protocols designed to ease withdrawal and reduce cravings. With opioid addiction, many clients benefit from FDA-approved medications, which work best alongside ongoing therapy in a residential or outpatient program. Learn about medical detox →
Residential Inpatient Residential treatment offers 24-hour care and support from licensed professionals. It’s often the best fit for long-term fentanyl use, severe symptoms, a history of relapse, or co-occurring mental health conditions. Programs typically last 30 to 90 days, depending on your needs. Explore inpatient rehab →
Outpatient Our outpatient programs let you continue treatment while living at home. Choose from:
Using a step-down approach, most clients move from a higher level of care to a lower one as they progress. When you reach out, our team will complete an assessment to recommend the right starting point.
Fentanyl addiction is dangerous, but recovery is possible. Every day you wait, the risk of overdose remains. With physician-supervised detox and a full continuum of care in Spokane Valley, Sequoia Recovery Centers can help you or your loved one take the first step safely.

For many people, the most intense withdrawal symptoms improve within about a week. Because fentanyl can build up in the body’s fat tissue, withdrawal may last longer or be less predictable than with other opioids. Your medical team will adjust your care based on how your body responds.
It’s not recommended. Withdrawal can be severe enough that many people return to use, and after a few days without opioids, tolerance drops, which sharply raises the risk of overdose. Medically supervised detox provides medication support, monitoring, and a plan for what comes next.
Yes. Our physicians use medication protocols designed to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Medications are never forced. Your care team will discuss your options with you and build a plan you’re comfortable with.
Yes. Our facility is located at 10305 E Montgomery Dr. in Spokane Valley, WA. We serve clients from across Spokane, Eastern Washington, North Idaho, and beyond.
Most major PPO and HMO insurance plans cover at least part of addiction treatment, including detox and rehab. We’re in-network with Kaiser and LifeWise, and we work with many other major carriers. For Medicaid, we accept Wellpoint for outpatient treatment. Our team can verify your benefits before you arrive.
Detox is the first step, not the whole journey. After detox, most clients continue in residential inpatient, PHP, IOP, or outpatient care. Before you leave any level of care, we help you build an aftercare plan with support groups, community resources, and relapse prevention strategies.
