Opioid Treatment: Signs, Symptoms & Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder

Kratom Addiction

Sold as a supplement and legal in parts of the U.S., kratom is a substance that is derived from a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. The effects of kratom in small doses are similar to stimulants, causing an increase in energy and focus. However, higher doses of kratom cause effects similar to those of depressants or opioids by acting on opioid receptors, causing lethargy and reduced muscle pain. An estimated 1.7 to 5 million people in the U.S. use kratom annually.

Kratom is an unstudied supplement, and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classifies kratom as a drug of concern due to its addictive nature and risk of toxicity. As kratom acts on opioid receptors, research studies aim to understand if kratom is a viable substance used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD). However, kratom addiction is a substance use disorder that occurs due to kratom’s interaction with opioid receptors and can cause withdrawal symptoms similar to those of opioid withdrawal.

Signs of Kratom Addiction

Due to its addictive nature, the use of kratom can quickly develop into dependence and addiction. Kratom dependence causes many symptoms, including changes in mood, behavior, and physical attributes.

Mood and Behavioral Signs of Kratom Use

Signs of kratom abuse include mood swings, agitation, and emotional outbursts. Due to kratom causing potential hallucinations and cognitive changes, physical dependence on kratom will commonly cause individuals to appear disoriented, detached, and have difficulty managing responsibilities at home or at work. Kratom dependence also creates intense cravings, causing poor decision-making and financial strain.

Physical Signs of Kratom Use

Kratom can act as a stimulant and a depressant, and physical signs of kratom use will vary depending on the size of the dose. Small doses produce a stimulant effect, increasing energy, perspiration, and respiratory rate. Larger doses cause a depressant effect similar to opioids, and physical signs include decreased respiratory rate, lack of pain, sedation, watery eyes, and constipation. Kratom addiction causes physical symptoms of kratom withdrawal, and as such, physical signs will vary depending on the last dose and the amount taken.

Why Detox Is a Critical First Step in Kratom Treatment

Due to kratom’s addictive nature, detoxification is often an important aspect of treatment. Detox is the first step to physical recovery from addiction and serves as an effective foundation for other treatment options. We offer a cohesive treatment program that lets you work with medical professionals and healthcare providers during detox and inpatient treatment, helping you receive the support and care you need for long-term change.

Medical Detox & Stabilization for Kratom Addiction

Due to the development of physical dependence on kratom, detox is often the first step to recovery. We offer medical detox and stabilization, ideal for the treatment of addictive substances that cause severe withdrawal symptoms, such as fentanyl, heroin, and kratom.

Personalized Treatment Planning to Meet Your Needs

We understand that every patient has a unique set of needs – we offer individualized treatment plans to meet these needs. Treatment begins with an evaluation process, leading to a personalized treatment plan that helps manage acute withdrawal, withdrawal syndrome, and other challenges in detox and treatment.

Medical Oversight With Expert Team

Our detox program offers 24/7 support from our team of experts. We understand the kratom withdrawal timeline and process and offer physical and psychological support throughout the process.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Severe Kratom Use and Withdrawal

Through medication-assisted treatment (MAT), we use medications that help reduce the side effects of withdrawal and cravings for kratom. We incorporate MAT into treatment programs, offering an alternative to the cold turkey approach to quitting kratom use.

Trauma-Informed Care

Due to the overlap between trauma and substance use, we offer trauma-informed care across every treatment program. Our team of clinicians, administrators, and providers understands the complexity of trauma, and we recognize the need for a safe space to heal.

Detox for Kratom: Structure and Expectations

Kratom detox commonly lasts 3 to 10 days, depending on the patient’s needs. However, we offer an integrated detox program that allows patients to smoothly transition into inpatient treatment. The entirety of treatment, on average, lasts 28 days plus detox. We offer daily programming and a structured approach to care that incorporates evidence-based treatments and holistic care.
