Although kratom is sometimes marketed as a natural or herbal product, repeated use can lead to tolerance, dependence, cravings, and withdrawal symptoms in some people. Individuals may begin using kratom for pain, mood, energy, or to manage opioid withdrawal and later find it difficult to reduce or discontinue its use.
Our clinicians can evaluate kratom use as part of a patient's overall medical and psychiatric history and develop an individualized treatment strategy. Treatment may include medication when clinically appropriate, management of withdrawal symptoms, psychiatric support, and continued recovery services.
