The risks must be studied carefully with proper pharmaceutical research. Even a drug sold over the counter without the need for a doctor's order or prescription should provide a clear presentation of risks involved.
Kratom has been making waves as a natural alternative for benzodiazepine withdrawal and opioid addiction recovery. But is it truly safe? Dr. Mark Leeds, an experienced addiction treatment expert, shares his insights on this controversial topic. While kratom might seem like a low-risk option, Dr. Leeds highlights the potential dangers it carries. The drug contains substances that act on opioid receptors, which can lead to physical dependence and addiction, despite claims of low abuse potential.
Additionally, the lack of extensive research and the influence of kratom proponents—who often have financial interests—cast doubt on its safety and efficacy. In this episode, Dr. Leeds emphasizes the importance of informed consent and proper pharmaceutical research before considering kratom as a detox solution. He delves into the risks and benefits, providing a balanced view that will help you make an informed decision.
Whether you're exploring options for yourself or supporting someone through recovery, this episode offers valuable perspectives on the complexities of using kratom for benzodiazepine withdrawal.
