Does Suboxone help kratom 7-OH withdrawal? Many Tennesseans are asking this question as kratom use rises across Nashville, Murfreesboro, Clarksville, Jackson, and Chattanooga. The truth is that kratom contains the active metabolite 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), which binds to opioid receptors in the brain much like heroin, fentanyl, and oxycodone. That means withdrawal from kratom can feel just as painful as traditional opioid withdrawal. Fortunately, Suboxone—a medication approved by the FDA—can help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

At Nashville Addiction Clinic, we have helped more than 1,000 patients across Tennessee transition safely from opioids and kratom into recovery using Suboxone through telemedicine (TeleMAT).

Understanding Kratom and 7-OH Withdrawal

Kratom is often marketed as “natural” or “safe,” but the DEA lists it as a drug of concern, and research shows it carries the same risks of dependence and withdrawal as opioids. The alkaloid 7-OH is especially powerful, binding tightly to opioid receptors and leading to:

Anxiety and irritability
Sweating and chills
Nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps
Restless legs and insomnia
Intense cravings that drive relapse

For someone addicted to kratom or other opioids, quitting without help can feel impossible.

How Suboxone Helps Kratom 7-OH Withdrawal

So, does Suboxone help kratom 7-OH withdrawal? Yes. Suboxone contains buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, and naloxone, which prevents misuse. It works by:

Binding to opioid receptors to stop withdrawal symptoms.
Reducing cravings so patients can focus on recovery instead of chasing pills.
Blocking the effects of opioids like heroin, fentanyl, and kratom if taken again.

At Nashville Addiction Clinic, we’ve seen patients transition from kratom and 7-OH dependence with minimal discomfort when using Suboxone under medical supervision.

The Seriousness of Kratom and Opioid Addiction

Opioid addiction is deadly. According to SAMHSA, untreated opioid dependence can lead to relapse, overdose, and death. Kratom is no exception—7-OH binds to the same receptors as fentanyl and heroin, creating a real risk of cross-addiction. Choosing Suboxone treatment could save your life or the life of someone you love.
