🚨 Kratom & 7-Hydroxy (7-OH): What You Need to Know 🚨
News 9 recently stopped by TRC for an interview during a deep dive into the rising concerns around kratom and its concentrated form, 7-hydroxy (7-OH). While some people report benefits, especially for pain management, there are serious risks that often aren’t talked about.
At The Recovery Center, we’ve seen a significant increase in patients needing detox support because of kratom and 7-OH. Many people don’t realize how potent these products can be — especially the concentrated versions.
⚠️ Risks include:
-Rapid development of addiction
-Withdrawals that can be just as severe as he**in or other opioids
-Dangerous side effects, including respiratory issues and even death at high doses
-Products sold with potency levels higher than legal limits, putting users at even greater risk
Not all detox facilities will accept patients struggling with kratom or 7-OH withdrawal — but at TRC, we do. If you or someone you love is struggling, we’re here to help. 💙
Amid growing concerns, News 9 took an in-depth look at a substance that is widely available at Oklahoma smoke shops and convenience stores: kratom and 7-hydroxy (7-OH).
