Abstract in brief

  • This case series examines the effectiveness of long-term buprenorphine-naloxone treatment for individuals with kratom use disorder (KUD), highlighting its potential as an alternative therapy.
  • The study involved 28 patients with varying lengths of kratom use, most of whom maintained negative drug tests during treatment, with many remaining in treatment for an average of 11 months.
  • Results suggest that buprenorphine-naloxone may be a promising treatment option for KUD, with most patients successfully stabilized and ongoing treatment outcomes favorable, although more research is needed.]

#kratom (while helpful to many for #chronicpain and #opioid withdrawal) CAN be addictive, and, Suboxone can be an effective treatment (average dose here was 92g/day Kratom - that is a ton! I tried like 3-4g to write my blog...) #SUD #MOUD #MAT #addiction https://t.co/GoK1JX3XjX
