Kratom Withdrawal: Safe, Virtual Recovery Options in Tennessee
Understanding Kratom/7-OH Withdrawal and Your Recovery Options
If you’re struggling with kratom withdrawal, you’re not alone. Many people in Tennessee—including Nashville, Murfreesboro, Clarksville, Franklin, and Knoxville—are turning to kratom as an alternative to opioids, only to find themselves physically dependent. Just like opioids, kratom affects the brain’s opioid receptors, making it addictive and difficult to quit without help.
At Nashville Addiction Clinic, we’ve treated more than 1,000 Tennesseans over the past six years, and we understand the seriousness of addiction. Left untreated, opioid and kratom dependence can lead to relapse, overdose, or even death (FDA, SAMHSA). The good news? Recovery is possible, safe, and private—thanks to our TeleMAT® program.
What Is Kratom/7-OH Withdrawal?
Kratom withdrawal happens when your body becomes dependent on the plant’s active compounds and then reacts when you stop taking it. Symptoms can be both physical and emotional, often feeling similar to opioid withdrawal. Kratom is often referred to as a “gas station drug” due to its easy accessibility in many gas stations and mini-marts.
Common Kratom Withdrawal Symptoms
- Muscle aches and body pain
- Insomnia or restless sleep
- Irritability, anxiety, or depression
- Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Cravings for kratom or opioid
- Chills, sweating, and runny nose
While not always life-threatening, withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable and may push someone back into using kratom or even stronger opioids like heroin or fentanyl. Learn more about the dangers of Kratom/7-Hydroxy addiction.
Why Kratom Withdrawal Should Be Taken Seriously
The DEA has identified kratom as a substance of concern due to its addictive potential. Many people begin with kratom believing it is safe or natural, only to transition to opioids when withdrawal symptoms become overwhelming. Unfortunately, this path increases the risk of overdose.
If you or someone you love is between the ages of 18 to 65 and struggling with dependence, it’s important to know that help is available—and it doesn’t require going to a clinic in person.
