Kratom and 7-OH, plainly

If your loved one is facing addiction, this is the place to be. The entire staff is professional and caring. My son is now in a Red Rocks sober living facility and has been drug and alcohol free for almost three weeks. He is excited about being apart of this program and is embracing his sobriety.
Bre my case worker was amazing in finding me help after treatment . The whole staff was caring and understanding during a hard time . So thankful for all them ! !
This was my first time getting help for my addictions. I learned a lot from group sessions and really appreciated the schedule and staff. I’ve taken a lot of things I’ve learned from base camp with me after. I would 100% recommend Red Rocks to anyone struggling with addiction.
I decided that I couldn’t handle my addiction on my own and contacted Red Rock Recovery Center. They changed my life. From day one, I realized I was in a place where I was genuinely being cared for, by both the staff and the other people in my group. They offer peer support groups and endless sober meetups after you graduate. You’re never left alone. You’re provided with every resource imaginable and are supported for the rest of your life. I’m beyond thankful for RRRC, for their care and for their never ending support. You’re not alone out there. Promise. There is a community out there committed to your wellbeing.
Red Rock has a solid foundation w people who actually care about others at the core of it. I’m extremely grateful to the staff and community of this place and I will always talk highly about the program and most of the therapists. 10/10 would recommend
Absolutely life changing. My kids will never have to live with a drunk mommy and I feel so in control of my own life decisions now that I’m sober. I’m so grateful that I get to live a sober life for and with my children
Questions about kratom and 7-OH treatment
Addiction doesn't have to define you. We're a nonjudgmental place to heal, and every call is confidential.
Do you treat kratom addiction?
Yes, including 7-OH products. We treat kratom dependence from medical detox on our Morrison campus through residential treatment, PHP and IOP in Lakewood, with therapy, medication support when appropriate and holistic care. Your plan is built around how you use and why you started. See all our levels of care.
Is kratom withdrawal real?
Yes. Regular kratom use can lead to withdrawal similar to milder opioid withdrawal: muscle aches, restlessness, trouble sleeping, nausea and strong cravings. Heavier and more frequent use, especially of 7-OH products, can make it more severe. Medical care makes withdrawal safer and easier to get through. Read about our medical detox program.
What is 7-OH and why is it harder to quit?
7-OH (7-hydroxymitragynine) is a compound in kratom that's concentrated in pills, tablets and shots sold in smoke shops and gas stations. It acts more strongly than leaf kratom, so dependence and withdrawal can be heavier. Many people start it to ease opioid withdrawal; read about kratom for opiate withdrawal.
How long is kratom detox?
Usually about 7 to 10 days, depending on how much you use, whether you use leaf kratom or 7-OH products, and how long you've been using. Our medical team assesses you on arrival and tells you what to expect, then you move into residential care or step down to outpatient. Compare our levels of care.
Can my son go straight to outpatient?
Sometimes. Admissions looks at how much he uses, whether he has withdrawal, and his history, then recommends where to start. Some people begin in our partial hospitalization program with Ascent sober housing, which gives structure without residential care. Others need detox first.
I started kratom to get off opioids. Can you help with both?
Yes. Many people who call started kratom to replace opioids. Your plan covers your opioid history and kratom together, including medication support when it's appropriate, so you're not trading one dependence for another. Read about opioid and fentanyl treatment at Red Rock.
Does insurance cover kratom treatment?
Coverage depends on your plan and level of care. We're in network with major commercial insurers, including Anthem, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, UMR and TRICARE, and admissions can give you a breakdown of costs before you start. You can verify your insurance online.
I'm not in Colorado. Can I come?
Yes. Many of our clients travel to Colorado for treatment, including for kratom and 7-OH. Admissions helps with insurance and planning your travel. Read more for out-of-state clients.
