Kratom Addiction Treatment in Tampa Bay, Florida
Learn how to reclaim your life at Transformations by the Gulf Alcohol and Drug Rehab where your Kratom addiction treatment is customized for you to succeed.
Kratom Addiction Treatment is available at Transformations by the Gulf. Kratom, is a plant used to create teas and supplements. The opioid crisis has caused widespread disruption across the United States, leading many individuals to seek out heroin and fentanyl. This shift has resulted in a troubling increase in deaths nationwide. Our understanding of these substances, whether they are synthetic or new to the U.S. market, remains limited, heightening the danger they pose. Another opiate-related substance that often goes unnoticed is kratom, which has been used in Thailand for over fifty years. Recently, however, there has been a notable rise in the use of kratom throughout the country.
Addiction to kratom is less understood compared to other opioids like heroin or fentanyl. As a result, withdrawal symptoms may be unpredictable and potentially harmful without assistance. The most advisable course of action for anyone facing this issue is to seek help and let medical professionals offer their support.
The initial phase in this process is medical detox, where a client enters a supervised medical setting and receives medication along with constant care. While medically supervised detox is vital for recovery, it is not sufficient on its own to combat addiction. Research indicates that long-term kratom use can lead to serious liver damage and potentially kidney failure, as the body struggles to eliminate the toxins produced by the substance. Therefore, it is crucial to address the issue comprehensively and continue with treatment after completing the detox process.
Signs & Symptoms of Addiction
Some opioid users consider kratom to be a godsend because of its ability to alleviate withdrawal symptoms. Kratom is similar to other opioids in lower doses and is considered illegal nationwide.
Kratom works similarly to what one would expect from an opioid drug. It binds to opioid receptors in the brain, and those who use kratom often do it to relieve their pain or enhance their mood. They also may use it as a substitute to stop alcohol or opiate withdrawal in an attempt to self-medicate. Abrupt cessation of kratom is challenging. Some kratom users report uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms such as:
- Mood disorders like anxiety and depression
- Cramping
- Cravings
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Hot flashes
- Insomnia
- Muscle aches
- Nausea or vomiting
- Restless legs
- Runny nose
- Sweating
- Tremors
- Watering eyes
Kratom has not been around in the United States for a long time, so information about it is hard to come by. Because its effects are similar to those of opioids, the kratom withdrawal timeline is on par with what you can expect from opioid withdrawal.
