What is kratom addiction?
Kratom addiction occurs when you develop a dependence on the kratom plant due to its psychoactive properties. Kratom leaves contain compounds like mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine that interact with opioid receptors in the brain, leading to effects that range from stimulant-like boosts in energy to sedative-like pain relief and euphoria at higher doses.
While kratom may seem like a safe alternative to other substances, prolonged use can result in both physical and psychological dependence.
Using kratom frequently can lead to tolerance, meaning that you need increasing doses to achieve the same effects, which can develop into a dependence. Additionally, if you struggle with kratom addiction, you may find it difficult to stop using the substance, even when faced with negative side effects.
While kratom is not considered to be a categorized substance use disorder, according to the DSM-5-TR, it is essential to recognize that kratom addiction can happen, and that it requires professional treatment and support.
Types of kratom use
Opioid substitute
People that have struggled with opioid use disorder may turn to kratom as an alternative or to manage opioid withdrawal. While this might seem less harmful, using kratom in this way is still a form of substance abuse. While overcoming opioid addiction, it is possible develop a kratom dependence.
Stimulant effects (low doses)
At low doses, kratom acts as a stimulant, increasing energy and focus. You may use kratom in this way to enhance productivity or stay awake, but continued use can lead to increased tolerance and the need for larger doses.
Sedative effects (high doses)
At higher doses, kratom takes on opioid-like properties, inducing pain relief and euphoria, which can lead to a higher risk of dependence and addiction. This type of use is commonly seen if you use kratom to self-medicate for chronic pain, depression, or anxiety.
Mixing with other substances
You may mix kratom powder or capsules with other drugs, such as alcohol or prescription medications, to intensify its effects. This increases the risk of overdose, adverse reactions, and drug abuse leading to addiction.
Signs and symptoms of Kratom addiction
Like other forms of addiction, kratom addiction can manifest through various physical, behavioral, and emotional signs. These symptoms can vary from person to person, but often include:
- Social withdrawal: Isolating from family and friends, often due to the shame or stigma of addiction.
- Loss of control: Using kratom more frequently or in larger doses than intended.
- Increased tolerance: Needing more kratom to achieve the same effects over time.
- Psychological dependence: Feeling that kratom is necessary for functioning or coping with daily stressors.
- Withdrawal symptoms: Experiencing anxiety, irritability, nausea, and muscle aches when attempting to stop using kratom.
- Mood swings: Experiencing anxiety, depression, or irritability due to kratom use or withdrawal.
- Neglecting responsibilities: Prioritizing kratom use over other important activities, such as work or relationships.
