What are treatment options for people who use kratom or 7-OH?

More research is still needed to understand which treatments may be most effective for people addicted to kratom and 7-OH.

There are no FDA-approved medications for kratom or 7-OH addiction. It is possible that people with kratom or 7-OH use disorders could benefit from treatment, similar to people with other substance use disorders. Substance use disorder treatment involves professionally delivered psychosocial treatment intended to reduce problematic drug use and improve health and quality of life.

Since high doses of kratom have opioid-like effects and products containing 7-OH act like opioids in the brain and body, it is possible that medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) could be effective in treating addictions to these substances. There is some research to suggest that people with kratom addictions have responded well to buprenorphine.
