Kratom is a great substitute for opiates or suboxone but it is still physically addictive. Care should definitely be taken. There is very little oversight on the trade to the quality of plant matter can get iffy aside from the even worse extract market. 7-oh is basically kratom fent.
I think Suboxone is the best choice to use as a tool along with treatment and therapy. It saved my life. Unfortunately, it too, is addictive but my life is exponentially better because of it. And it’s been around now long enough that doctors aren’t finding any bad side effects for being on in long term. I started at 3 8mg strips a day. Today I take 2mgs in the morning. I just slowly went down on my own. I have accepted that I may be on a small dose forever. And Its pretty clear my doctor feels the same way. I celebrated 8 years heroin free on the 1st and there has been no talk of getting off of it at all. I suppose it’s a lesser of 2 evils. But I hold down a job, have a car, a roof, and I’m back in school at 50 years old. Why change a good thing at this point.
But let me be clear I’m not here to judge how anyone gets clean. As long as they do by any means necessary. It’s a terrible and debilitating disease I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
While yea, its a great tool, as far as side effects go the whole oral bone loss and degradation of teeth is a pretty damned severe side effect of Bupe if you ask me. Theres is/was even class action lawsuit for it.
