Kratom Addiction Recovery Support

It started as something “natural” but now it feels like something you can’t live without.

At TruPaths, we understand how kratom can feel like a lifeline especially when you’re in pain, dealing with anxiety, or trying to get off stronger opioids. But for some, that relief slowly turns into dependence, and what once felt like a solution starts becoming the problem.

This page is here to help you or your loved one make sense of kratom use, understand the risks, and explore recovery options that are built with love, not shame. We don’t provide treatment ourselves but we help connect you with centers that do, and that understand the unique challenges of kratom dependency.

Kratom Addiction Recovery Support

What Is Kratom?

Kratom is a plant native to Southeast Asia. At low doses, it can act as a stimulant. At higher doses, it behaves more like an opioid numbing pain and emotions. It’s often used for energy, mood enhancement, anxiety, or pain relief.

Although legal in many U.S. states and often marketed as “natural” or “safe,” kratom is addictive and can lead to withdrawal, emotional blunting, and dependency especially with regular or high-dose use.

“It felt like medicine at first until I realized I couldn’t stop.”
