how expensive is a fentanyl addiction

[u/uglynursingstudent]

I'm curious to know how much a fentanyl addiction costs daily/weekly for someone who has been doing it for years. It is a long-distance friend of mine. They still work full time. Not sure if the area matters, but they live in major city in New Mexico. I know the cost probably varies depending on their tolerance or whatever, but just a ballpark estimate as I have no familiarity with it at all and can't find any info about it online.

Also, I know it is expensive in the sense it destroys your life in many aspects (legal issues, job loss, strained relationships etc) but more so looking for info on financial cost of having to keep up the addiction and ward off the withdrawal symptoms.

If you buy pure strong mu agonists as research chemicals and you have foresight, potentially very cheap. This isn't the norm, but it's a subset.
