Our Kratom Rehab Programs at Ingrained

Kratom comes from the leaves of Mitragyna speciosa, a tropical tree in Southeast Asia. For centuries, people in its native region have chewed these tree leaves to relieve pain or for a burst of energy.

Recently, kratom has become increasingly popular with Americans, who use it to self-medicate for pain, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. Some use it to reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms. Consumers can purchase kratom in capsules, powders, or teas.

Stopping kratom can mean similar, but often less severe, withdrawal symptoms than other opioid drugs. This table compares and contrasts the initial symptoms:

The first step to seeking treatment is recognizing that a problem exists. One key sign of kratom abuse is chronic use, sometimes to the point of disrupting daily life. A person who needs the help of a treatment center to overcome addiction to any substance is neglecting school, work, or family responsibilities.

Those struggling with kratom or other drug abuse also have constantly increasing preoccupation with getting and using their drug of choice. It becomes a behavioral loop – the more they use, the more tolerance they build, so the more often (and increasing amounts) they use. While family members or friends may see this, the person struggling with kratom addiction cannot often see this cycle for themselves.

Those worsening conditions, along with mood swings, anxiety about substance use, or social withdrawal, can indicate that it’s time to seek kratom addiction treatment.

Not all kratom addiction treatment centers are the same, and at Ingrained, we have set the gold standard. To our team, kratom rehab means a holistic, evidence-based treatment plan crafted for each individual.

Here are some of the benefits of attending our inpatient rehab or one of our partner outpatient treatment centers:

Our mental and behavioral therapy center is staffed with licensed medical professionals with a strong knowledge of kratom and other substances. We understand that mental illness is often the cause of substance use disorders. We help each client overcome both mental health challenges by using therapy and medication management strategies that encompass both drug addiction treatment and care for mental disorders simultaneously. This comprehensive treatment approach is the key to unlocking long-term sobriety.

Imagine ‘Kendra,’ who started using kratom because it calmed her emotional pain after her husband passed away in a tragic accident. Her friends told her to pick it up at the herb shop, but she had no idea that non-FDA-approved medications could be sold. Weeks after she started, she tried to stop but had heart flutters as a result. She’d developed a substance use disorder that required treatment of both the trauma-related anxiety and the kratom to get her life back in order.

We offer an inpatient therapy experience unlike any other in Georgia. Inpatient treatment at Ingrained includes a comfortable setting that feels more like home than a clinic. Client rooms and shared living spaces bring an air of tranquility. You’ll even participate in your treatment options in spaces that have been designed to put you at ease. Step out the doors of the residential treatment facility, and you’ll find yourself on a ranch where you can experience a unique offering – equine therapy sessions.

We have partnered with top providers throughout the Peach State for those who prefer outpatient programs. This strategy ensures you receive support and ongoing treatment at a location that makes a partial hospitalization program or intensive outpatient treatment accessible near you.

Medically-assisted detox treatment methods are highly recommended for ending kratom addiction. As mentioned earlier, quitting kratom leads to potentially adverse effects that can threaten your safety. The way to stay well during the earliest days of kratom rehab? A medically supervised detox. The team at the medical detox center will monitor the first critical days of your recovery journey and offer you prescription medications to provide relief from the most intense kratom detox symptoms.

Meet ‘Rich,’ who tried kratom on a golfing vacation with his buddies. He had been using it recreationally and found that it helped soothe his chronic headaches. Continued use after the vacation ended led to a kratom addiction.

Rich had tried to stop using it, but the kratom dependence caused severe withdrawal symptoms, including vomiting that caused dehydration. Rich sought a professional medical detox, where he received anti-nausea medication to get through the first couple of weeks of detoxing.

At the close of medical detox, you’ll start therapy sessions. Our therapists use several strategies to ensure you have a great start toward a successful recovery.

• Individual Therapy Sessions: Our treatment programs rely heavily on individual therapy, where you work with an addiction treatment professional. The counselor will lead you in an exploration of the reasons behind your kratom addiction and then find the best strategies to move forward.
• Group Therapy: Peer groups work together to discuss the life experiences that brought them to kratom rehab and problem-solve to discover coping tools to break the cycle of drug abuse. They may use different strategies, including music, art therapy, or role-playing.
• Family Therapy: Family members can trigger kratom addiction, but they can also be your biggest support system after leaving treatment programs. The difference-maker is often family therapy, where a family counseling specialist works with opening up communications, healing old wounds, and setting boundaries.

Imagine ‘Trey,’ who tried to quit using kratom but couldn’t maintain sobriety no matter how hard he tried. He’d first tried it on the recommendation of the clerk at the local smoke shop, who assured him it was safe.

Only after his family doctor referred him to an addiction treatment center to stop the drug abuse did Trey fully understand that severity of his kratom abuse. After the medical detox, the treatment options he experienced helped him learn healthier ways to kick back and relax at the end of the day.

We know that cost is a factor for many people looking for kratom rehab. We accept most major group health plans to make life-changing rehab services affordable. Even better, our admissions department has an insurance specialist who will contact your insurance provider to ensure you receive all other services you’re entitled to. We take the worry out of paying for rehab and let you get to the hard work of reclaiming your life after addiction.

Meet ‘Paola,’ who had good health insurance but little disposable income to pay for the behavioral therapy services necessary to quit using kratom. Paola learned that while insurance companies may technically cover mental health treatment plans, they do so somewhat grudgingly. Paola found that medical representatives can communicate best with insurance companies and can be a helpful advocate.
