On September 1, 2025

Introduction

Kratom use disorder is a growing problem in Tennessee and across the U.S. Many men and women ages 18–45 find themselves stuck in a painful cycle of dependence, often hiding their struggles from family, coworkers, or friends. If you’re tired of chasing pills, fighting withdrawals, or feeling ashamed, know that safe, virtual treatment options are available—and you never have to step foot in a clinic.

What Is Kratom Use Disorder?

Kratom is a plant-based substance often marketed as a “natural” pain reliever or energy booster. But according to the DEA, kratom can lead to dependence, withdrawal, and even life-threatening overdose when misused. What begins as casual use can quickly spiral into full kratom addiction.

Signs of Kratom Use Disorder

Constant cravings and inability to stop using
Withdrawal symptoms such as sweating, nausea, anxiety, or insomnia
Loss of interest in work, family, or hobbies
Financial or legal issues tied to kratom or opioid use

If these signs feel familiar, you’re not alone. Thousands of Tennesseans—from Columbia to Murfreesboro, Clarksville, Jackson, and Franklin—are struggling with opioids, kratom, heroin, or prescription painkillers.

Why Kratom Use Disorder Is Serious

Some people assume kratom is harmless because it’s “herbal.” The truth is, kratom interacts with the brain in ways similar to opioids like hydrocodone, oxycodone, and fentanyl. That means:

Addiction can develop quickly.
Overdose is possible, especially when combined with other drugs.
Long-term use increases risks of seizures, liver damage, and death.

Studies from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) confirm that opioid-related overdoses—including those linked to kratom—are still rising nationwide.
