Kratom withdrawal can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. At Recovery Care of Columbia, we specialize in helping people in Tennessee overcome withdrawal symptoms and start a new life through safe, effective telemedicine treatment.

What Is Kratom Withdrawal?

Kratom is often marketed as a “natural” alternative for pain relief or energy. However, the DEA has listed kratom as a drug of concern because of its opioid-like effects and risk of dependence. Enough concern that they have announced their intent to schedule Kratom with other opioids. The DEA is planning to Regular use can cause kratom withdrawal symptoms similar to opioid withdrawal, including:

Anxiety, depression, or mood swings
Sweating, chills, and muscle aches
Insomnia or restlessness
Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
Strong cravings

Without proper support, withdrawal can lead to relapse and increase the risk of overdose or death, especially if opioids like heroin or fentanyl are used as substitutes.

Why Kratom Withdrawal Feels So Difficult

Like prescription opioids such as hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine, and codeine, kratom binds to opioid receptors in the brain. Stopping suddenly causes both physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Many patients in Mount Pleasant, Spring Hill, Athens, Calhoun, Englewood, and Etowah tell us they feel “trapped” by the cycle—wanting to quit but fearing the painful withdrawal process. Our clinicians have the education and experience necessary to help you make your transition to Suboxone as comfortable as possible.
