Kratom Detox

Kratom Detox at Perimeter Detox

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a natural herbal substance that has gained popularity for its stimulant and opioid-like effects. While some may use it for pain relief or to manage opioid withdrawal, kratom can also be addictive. At Perimeter Detox, we offer a safe, medically supervised outpatient detox program to help individuals who have become dependent on kratom.

Our outpatient detox program provides compassionate care in a discreet environment, allowing you to begin your recovery while maintaining your daily responsibilities. With personalized care and evidence-based treatment, we ensure you are supported every step of the way.

Signs of Kratom Abuse

Kratom abuse can develop gradually, and many individuals are unaware of how quickly they can become dependent. Signs that kratom use may be becoming problematic include:

  • Taking larger doses than intended

  • Using kratom to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression

  • Frequent cravings or urges to use kratom

  • Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home

  • Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety when not using kratom

  • Using kratom alongside other substances (e.g., alcohol, prescription drugs)

Kratom dependence often begins with innocent or occasional use but can quickly escalate, leading to physical and psychological dependence.

Dangers of Continued Kratom Use

Long-term kratom use, especially at high doses, can lead to serious health risks. These dangers include:

  • Physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms

  • Liver damage or toxicity

  • Increased risk of overdose, especially when combined with other substances

  • Mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and psychosis

  • Gastrointestinal problems (constipation, nausea)

  • Impaired cognitive function and memory problems

Although kratom is often marketed as a “natural” solution, its addictive properties and potential for harm make it necessary to seek help if dependence has developed.

Withdrawal Symptoms and Treatment

As with many substances, withdrawal from kratom can cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms. These symptoms vary in severity depending on the length of use and the dose taken.

Common Kratom Withdrawal Symptoms:

  • Physical symptoms: Muscle aches, joint pain, sweating, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue

  • Mental symptoms: Anxiety, irritability, depression, cravings, mood swings, insomnia

  • Psychological symptoms: Emotional distress, confusion, and difficulty concentrating
