Kratom Treatment Programme

To Note: When taken in moderation and with caution, kratom can benefit our wellbeing. Like everything in life, the issue is that once we become addicted to something, we weaken our brain's ability to self-regulate, and the risks begin to outweigh the positives. 

Kratom dependency can be hard to treat for twofold reasons. Firstly, there are a lot of unknown substances in kratom. For example, while experts are unsure what it is, one such substance seems to act similarly to benzodiazepine (an anti-anxiety medication). Secondly, kratom produces both stimulant and opioid effects. This means that a person can essentially be 'doubly- addicted' to both the upper and downer impact on the brain. Hence, holistic and comprehensive treatment methods like ours are essential to overcome a kratom addiction. 

At Paracelsus Recovery, we only ever treat one client at any given time to make sure that you receive maximum care, attention, and confidentiality. Our 360-degree treatment method can effectively restore your health and help you live a kratom-free life. 

To achieve this, we use a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that addresses all the underlying causes of your dependency, not just the symptoms. Upon arrival, a thorough assessment is carried out to determine the exact treatment and therapies required and identify any physical, medical, and psychological issues requiring special attention. The assessment includes a complete medical check-up including extensive laboratory tests, a functional health assessment, a review of medical history and current and past medication, an extensive psychiatric assessment, a substance use assessment and a lifestyle and nutritional assessment.

We will design an individual treatment plan based on the results of these assessments. For one-to-one treatment, our team of renowned specialist therapists and doctors will work exclusively with you. A 'live-in' therapist will also be available for emotional support around the clock throughout your entire stay. The residential treatment programme usually takes four weeks, and our team will work with you for 8 – 12 hours a day. We can also provide aftercare services if deemed necessary. 

Signs of Kratom Dependency Include:

• Constantly thinking about Kratom.
• Kratom abuse is negatively impacting your career, relationships, and finances.
• You find yourself more and more willing to take risks or engage in reckless behaviour to obtain kratom.  
• Needing an ever-increasing dosage of kratom to achieve that high.
• You started taking kratom to help opioid withdrawal, but now you are taking both kratom and opioids, or your kratom abuse is now mirroring how you used to abuse opioids. 
• Flu-like symptoms when sober.

A kratom addiction can be overpowering, especially if you begin abusing this substance in the hopes it would help you stop taking other opioids. It can be disheartening to realise you are still stuck in an addictive cycle, and it can be very difficult to overcome that cycle alone. While seeking help for your dependency is never an easy decision, it is the right one when it comes to your health and wellbeing.
