Kratom Detox and Drug Addiction Treatment Program
Kratom, a plant native to Southeast Asia, is often used for its pain-relieving effects and as an aid to combat withdrawal from opioid dependence. However, kratom itself can lead to addiction and dependence. At Dunwoody Recovery Place, our kratom detox program is designed to help individuals safely withdraw from kratom while addressing the psychological and physical aspects of their addiction.
What Our Kratom Detox Consists Of
Our program is built around comprehensive, individualized care that includes:
Medical Supervision: Continuous monitoring to safely manage withdrawal symptoms which may vary in intensity.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): While there is no specific medication for kratom withdrawal, certain medications may be used to treat symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and physical pain.
Behavioral Therapies: Utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic approaches to help modify behaviors and address the root causes of addiction.
Supportive Care: Emotional and psychological support through counseling and group therapy sessions.
Holistic Therapies: Techniques such as meditation, yoga, and acupuncture to promote overall well-being and assist in the recovery process.
The Need for Kratom Detox
While kratom is sometimes marketed as a safe alternative for managing pain or opioid withdrawal, it can also cause dependency and a range of negative health effects. Regular use can lead to tolerance, where more of the substance is needed to achieve the same effects, and withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit.
