Kratom Addiction Treatment in Florida
Most research indicates kratom is a highly addictive substance with many of the same effects as opiates. Over time, kratom addiction treatment may become necessary due to the substance abuse problems that can occur. Additional research shows that some substances found in kratom stimulate opiate receptors in the brain. In doing so, withdrawal symptoms caused by addictive opioid drugs can be alleviated. Kratom is seen as an unregulated herb that can cause addiction problems, but also has medicinal use in treating opioid addiction.
People who take kratom for a prolonged period of time have reportedly seen high tolerance levels for the drug. This would indicate kratom requires increasing amounts to maintain the same high. Some individuals develop compulsive substance-taking behaviors and are incapable of stopping despite dangerous warnings. Choosing Florida drug rehab is one of the best decisions for people wanting to quit kratom. Florida addiction treatment allows clients to fully address their addiction and any co-occurring disorders. Typically, most clients begin in a partial hospitalization (PHP) level of care for 30-days, and then step-down into the intensive outpatient program (IOP) after that.

What is Kratom?
Because kratom is legal in the United States and can be purchased online, it’s marketed as a harmless herb — but this isn’t exactly true. It just means kratom marketers haven’t had their product or any statements reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This natural herb has stirred controversy as a possible pain treatment that is safer than opioids. However, kratom is also criticized for being dangerous and unregulated. It is an addictive substance that experts say can result in a “kind of opioid” addiction.
Kratom is at the middle of an intense debate online, in television advertising and in federal drug-related agencies. Much of the debate questions whether kratom would help the opioid epidemic or make it significantly worse. Currently, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is working to have kratom classified as an illegal drug. This is in part because regular use can lead to addiction.
Getting professional addiction help is important for people who are struggling with kratom addiction. Some indications of addiction include loss of sex drive, weight loss, darkening of facial skin, and craving for continued use. There are several different kratom addiction treatment and rehab options; it’s beneficial to explore each of these options to find the one that’s best for you.
