TRICARE In-NetworkWhat is kratom, and why does it cause dependence?
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a Southeast Asian plant whose compounds, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), activate mu-opioid receptors, the receptors heroin and oxycodone act on, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) research summary on kratom, updated in March 2026.
Regular use of kratom products teaches the body to expect those compounds, so stopping brings withdrawal. Singh, Müller and Vicknasingam (2014), in a survey of 293 regular users published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence, recorded muscle pain, sleeping difficulty, watery eyes and nose, hot flashes, diarrhea, restlessness and sadness as the most common kratom withdrawal symptoms.
The DSM-5-TR has no separate kratom diagnosis, so clinicians record problematic kratom use as other (or unknown) substance use disorder. The FDA has approved no medical use for kratom, and Still Detox lists kratom among the substances that require medical detox in Atlantic County and in Boca Raton, Florida.
Does Still Detox offer 7-OH addiction treatment in New Jersey?
Yes. Still Detox New Jersey treats 7-OH addiction alongside kratom dependence, with specialized 7-OH testing and a supervised taper planned by the Medical Director.
7-OH products concentrate 7-hydroxymitragynine, a compound the FDA said in July 2025 “can be more potent than morphine.” The FDA reported that tablets, gummies and shots containing concentrated 7-OH are sold online and in gas stations, corner stores and vape shops.
Concentrated products change withdrawal. NIDA describes withdrawal from regular kratom use as mild to moderate for most people, while Stanciu (2026), in a case report published in Cureus, reports mild, delayed withdrawal from traditional kratom and rapid, severe withdrawal from potent derivatives in a patient who moved from kratom powder to 7-OH tablets and then a stronger compound, which makes withdrawal from 7-OH a medical detox concern. Stanciu and colleagues (2019), in a systematic review published in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, advised clinicians to manage kratom withdrawal with the same approach used for opioid withdrawal.
Still Detox New Jersey treats dependence on the following 5 forms of kratom and 7-OH products:
- Kratom powder and capsules
- Kratom tea, shots and drinks
- Kratom extracts
- 7-OH tablets, gummies and shots
- Products sold as kratom that contain concentrated 7-OH

What are the signs of kratom and 7-OH addiction?
Escalating doses, withdrawal between doses and failed attempts to stop are the clearest signs of kratom and 7-OH addiction.
Clinicians assess problematic kratom use with the 11 substance use disorder criteria in the DSM-5-TR. Two or more criteria within 12 months indicate a use disorder: 2 to 3 is mild, 4 to 5 is moderate and 6 or more is severe.
The following 6 signs point to kratom or 7-OH dependence:
- Larger or more frequent doses than planned
- Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop
- A switch from kratom leaf to extracts or 7-OH tablets
- Withdrawal symptoms between doses, such as muscle aches, diarrhea and restlessness
- Strong cravings that set the timing of the day
- Continued use despite problems at work, at home or with money

Why is quitting kratom or 7-OH without detox risky?
Unsupervised withdrawal, 7-OH's effect on breathing and kratom-linked liver problems make quitting alone riskier than quitting kratom with a supervised taper.
Withdrawal Drives Relapse
Muscle pain, sleeplessness and cravings make the first days off kratom hard, and another dose ends them. A supervised taper treats the symptoms so the urge to redose does not decide the outcome.
7-OH Slows Breathing
NIDA reports that 7-OH causes respiratory depression in laboratory models, reversed by naloxone, and that nearly all deaths linked to kratom products involved other drugs or contaminants.
Liver and Neurological Problems
Case reports link long-term use of large amounts of kratom to serious liver problems, and clinicians report confusion, tremors and seizures in some patients, according to NIDA.
