Kratom Addiction Treatment Center

Kratom Addiction Treatment Center

There are many different types of drugs around the world that have addictive properties. Kratom is one of those drugs. It is made up of leaves that come from a native tree in Thailand. The drug can enter the system in a variety of different ways. It can be smoked, chewed, ingested in the form of gel caps, or brewed in tea. Kratom creates a psychoactive opiate-like high in people. It is actually legal in some American states, which creates the illusion among many people that it is safe. The most common users are teenagers, as well as young adults and former addicts. They justify their use of the drug by saying it is organic, but it is important to realize kratom can be dangerous and addictive, and kratom rehab is challenging. Kratom addiction treatment centers make the challenge of kratom rehab bearable. These addictive drugs are hard to kick on your own, but Oceanfront Recovery offers substance abuse treatment centers in Laguna Beach to make your recovery last. If you or a loved one needs addiction help, Oceanfront Recovery is here with a kratom addiction treatment center for support and healing in Laguna Beach, California.

In low doses, kratom can actually provide a person with energy. However, it is then a slippery slope to the high doses, and the high becomes similar to that produced by an opioid, like heroin.

Kratom is currently considered a “substance of concern” by the DEA, which is a precursor to being labeled as a controlled substance. Due to incidents related to kratom, it is illegal in many U.S. states, as well as several European countries and native Thailand from which the tree comes.

Kratom in moderate to high doses can cause a multitude of side effects, including diarrhea, weight loss, severe dehydration, nausea and vomiting, depression, apathy, and sleep problems including insomnia and/or excessive sleep. It is the most potentially harmful when mixed with medications and/or other substances. Signs of kratom overdose include hallucinations, delusions, tremors, listlessness, respiratory depression, constipation, aggression, and nausea or vomiting.

Withdrawal from kratom, as with any drug, produces unpleasant symptoms, which can occur even when the drug is taken in low doses. These withdrawal symptoms include aching muscles, jitters or fidgeting, chills, and even severe depression and anxiety. Going through withdrawal without a kratom addiction rehab center can be dangerous. Please seek help at a professional kratom addiction treatment center to lessen the withdrawal symptom discomfort.
