Over the last 2-3 years, we have seen a rise in the number of patients addicted to Kratom that end up needing to detox from Kratom at my facility. There is a lot of misinformation out there. I am not here to tell anyone to stop using it. All I can tell is what I have treated. Increasing numbers of people addicted to it, needing to detox from it.
