Kratom addiction can develop quietly, often starting with a desire for natural pain relief or increased energy. However, prolonged use can lead to physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms similar to those caused by opioids. Desert Willow Wellness provides comprehensive, medically supported treatment for kratom addiction and related compounds. We treat dependence on both kratom and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) to ensure complete, evidence- based care for individuals struggling with these increasingly misused substances.
Our treatment programs help clients manage withdrawal safely, restore emotional balance, and build the tools needed for long-term recovery.
Begin Your RecoveryKratom is a plant native to Southeast Asia that contains active alkaloids — mitragynine and 7- hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) — which act on the same brain receptors as opioids. While some people use kratom to relieve pain or opioid withdrawal symptoms, chronic use can lead to physical dependence, tolerance, and severe withdrawal when discontinued.
Common symptoms of kratom dependence include:
Because kratom products are unregulated in the U.S., their strength and purity vary widely, increasing the risk of toxicity and overdose.

Kratom withdrawal can be physically and emotionally distressing. Many individuals experience anxiety, restlessness, and strong cravings that lead to relapse without medical support.
At Desert Willow Wellness, our clinical team provides safe, structured care during detox and early recovery. We tailor each plan to your needs, addressing both substance dependence and any co-occurring mental health issues that contribute to use.
Treatment includes:
Withdrawal from kratom and 7-OH can resemble opioid withdrawal but often involves additional psychological symptoms. Detoxing without support may cause insomnia, irritability, muscle pain, anxiety, or depression.
Our clinical staff provides 24-hour supervision and uses evidence-based comfort strategies to manage withdrawal symptoms safely. When additional medical oversight is necessary, we coordinate with trusted medical detox facilities in Southern California for seamless transitions.
Kratom use is often associated with underlying conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or chronic pain. Our integrated dual-diagnosis model treats both addiction and mental health concurrently, improving outcomes and reducing relapse risk.
Our evidence-based and holistic care model focuses on restoring physical, emotional, and spiritual balance.
Therapies may include:
Sustaining recovery from kratom addiction requires ongoing care and accountability. Our aftercare planning includes relapse prevention education, alumni programs, and community support connections to ensure long-term stability.
