• Recovery Happens Counseling Services Outpatient Programs in Sacramento

Impaired professionals are found in all professions. Any intense work environment with pressure to perform is at risk for development of burn out, mental health and substance abuse issues.

Professions that experience high levels of anxiety, depression, functional alcoholism and substance abuse include:

• Attorneys
• Doctors and Medical Professionals
• Airline Pilots and Flight Attendants
• IT Professionals

Firefighters, police, EMS and other emergency services providers are seldom called on to rescue cute kittens from trees. On a daily basis, first responders see accident victims horribly injured or burned, rescue survivors crushed in crumbling buildings, fight overwhelming forest fires, pull residents from burning buildings. Or they may be called on to defuse situations ranging from domestic disputes to a hostage crisis.

For first responders, work stress takes an emotional and mental toll. Therapy and counseling can help resolve trauma and provide support and coping skills.

All New Start Recovery Solutions locations are an approved VA Community Care provider for Veteran Outpatient  PTSD Dual Diagnosis Treatment. This includes outpatient mental health therapy.

All New Start Recovery Solutions locations are also an approved VA Community Care provider for Veteran Inpatient PTSD treatment. (However, primary mental health care only is available only in outpatient).

• Naloxone is the treatment for rapidly reversing a fentanyl overdose.
• However, getting overdose treatment in time to avoid death is a challenge. Fentanyl is a fast-acting drug; every minute is critical in an overdose situation.
• Those experiencing an overdose involving fentanyl may require higher naloxone doses and multiple administrations to reverse the overdose and to become stabilized.
• Police and first responders at a crime scene or helping an overdose victim are at risk from inadvertently touching or inhaling any fentanyl powder that may be present.

• The number of deaths from fentanyl overdoses has jumped by more than 2100% in California in five years. The most recent estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), show that overdoses of synthetic opioids (mostly fentanyl) killed nearly 4,000 residents in California last year.
• Drug deaths in San Francisco are averaging about two a day. Fentanyl has flooded the illicit drug market.
• Many overdoses occurred from illegal drugs purchased that had added fentanyl. The buyers had no awareness that fentanyl had been added. Illegal drugs are not tested for purity.
• The CDC has predicted there will be record breaking amount of drug overdoses as the number continues to rise.
• Although the opioid epidemic seemed to slow in 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 caused a ripple effect of death from the disease, and an increase in addiction.
• Drug overdoses rose across the country during the coronavirus pandemic. But in San Francisco, overdoses skyrocketed. In 2020, drug overdoses claimed 713 lives.
• This was more than double the 257 San Francisco residents who died of the COVID-19 virus in 2020. 

• Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid that is very effective at relieving moderate-to-severe chronic pain.
• Oral formulations of fentanyl contain an amount of the drug that can be fatal to a child.
• The difference between a therapeutic dose and a deadly dose of fentanyl is very small.
• There are many illegal analogs and derivatives of fentanyl that are much stronger than the prescription version.
• Recreational users often seek fentanyl as a substitute for heroin.
• Increasingly, many illegal drugs now contain fentanyl to ‘increase the strength’ of the drug sold.
• The problem: A few extra grains of fentanyl can cause death.

• Who takes fentanyl? Dr. Christopher Colwell, the chief of emergency medicine in San Francisco at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, has recently seen an increase in the emergency room for medical issues related to fentanyl use and overdoses.
• Dr. Christopher Colwell has seen a variety of patients in his ER needing treatment for fentanyl. Patients included nurses, a professional athlete, a drug dealer and a lawyer who lost consciousness in court. Also needing emergency treatment for fentanyl were two young adolescents, 14 and 15 years old; and a 7 year old who got into a stash in her mother’s purse. 
• “That’s just in the last couple weeks,” Colwell said. “It’s really remarkable because it runs the entire spectrum. This affects all walks of life, all folks. It’s hard to overstate how impactful it can be to anyone. It doesn’t seem to care about race or background or gender — or anything.” Read more at Fentanyl has changed the whole landscape’: San Francisco faces worst drug epidemic ever

• A lethal dose of fentanyl is considered to be 2 milligrams. If fentanyl is taken with other opiates, the lethal dose is smaller than 2 milligrams.
• A sweetener packet at restaurant tables contains about 1,000 milligrams.
• Two milligrams of fentanyl can kill you.
• In individuals with a developed tolerance, the lethal dose of fentanyl is very small compared to the potential lethal doses of other opiate drugs.
• For example: A lethal dose for heroin is reported to be between 75 and 375 mg. A lethal dose of fentanyl for most adults is 2 milligrams.

• Most individuals never try to take fentanyl.
• However, many illegal drugs now contain fentanyl to ‘increase the strength’ of the drug sold.
• Especially since COVID-19 – adolescents, parents, professionals, athletes and more can now more easily buy illegal ‘party drugs’ on the internet.
• Illegally made drugs are not tested for quality. Illegal drugs vary wildly in purity and strength.
• Increasingly, illegal drugs bought on the internet (and sold on the street) contain fentanyl. Just a few grains of fentanyl powder causes overdose.

• Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that is similar to morphine.
• However, fentanyl is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine.
• Synthetic opioids like fentanyl have been identified in more than two-thirds of opioid overdoses reported nationally in 2019. 
• Fentanyl is the most potent opioid pain reliever available for use in medical treatment.

New Start Recovery Solutions Sacramento uses mindfulness relapse prevention and mindfulness training as a part of our Northern California Evidence Based Integrated Substance Abuse Treatment program.

A space of awareness is created between impulse and actions with mindfulness practice.

With increased non-judgmental self-awareness – impulsive and habitual behaviors can decrease. This means that the effects of triggers can be decreased or eliminated. With mindfulness, impulsive actions are no longer automatically activated.

Mindfulness is very helpful in relapse prevention and addiction recovery. Long-term addiction recovery is dependent on discarding habitual behaviors to drink or drug – and engage in new sober activities.

Mindfulness is having the internal focus to be quietly aware of your own thoughts and impulses – without judgment – and without acting on the impulses.
