  Kratom has been used to treat opiate addiction for centuries in its native Southeast Asia. Science has confirmed that the alkaloids in kratom are effective for calming opiate withdrawal which is key for helping individuals conquer addiction.In addition to the benefit of being safer than some opiate treatments, such as methadone, kratom is cheaper. The program we have found to help someone beat a heroin addiction will cost on average $55 and take a week, versus months of detox treatment and prescription costs for methadone.
  
  Studies as early as 1897 by H. Ridley suggest that kratom be used to help those suffering from opiate withdrawal and kratom has quietly moved through the years to be used routinely in methadone detox programs in countries such as Thailand. Methadone is an extremely dangerous treatment which individuals addicted to heroin undergo in an effort to defeat their addiction and often become addicted to in place of heroin.
  
  The mitragynine (an alkaloid) in high doses, kratom functions as a mu receptor agonist with a short lifespan which allows the body to be opiate-dependence free more quickly than the "taper down" method required with methadone by functioning similarly to opiates. Low doses of kratom prefer delta opioid receptors, which is why there people react differently when taking different dosages of the same strain of http://discoverkratom.org (low- stimulates high- sedates).
  
  While kratom is capable of helping with any of the opiate family drugs, it is most widely used to treat heroin. This is in part because Discover Kratom comes from one of the few plants that is not related to the opium poppy that has the power to interact with the opioid receptors in the brain and eliminate pain. Unbearable pain is the primary reason that users fail to quit opiates, whether they be using heroin recreationally or Vicodin for long-term pain.
  
  
  
  Red vein kratom is considered the best for treating opiate dependence because it has a good mix of pain relief and sedative properties though other types may be more appropriate depending on the user's symptoms.
  
  As a general rule, when using kratom to end opiate addiction individuals should determine their tolerance level (or start at 4-8 grams if unknown) and work their way up to a level that reduces their opiate withdrawal symptoms. Once the tolerance of dose is determine the individual should use it to medicate every 4-5 hours for the first two days and then start to "challenge" their body by denying themselves the kratom for as long as possible on the third day.
  
  Day four starts the reduction of kratom- reduce the dose by 2 grams. This may cause some discomfort, but the withdrawal should be significantly improved to day one. By day five there is only one dose of 4 grams for the entire day. Day six is 2 grams for the day. Day seven will be the first day with no medication. For those who need to start at a higher dose, say 12 grams, simply extend the program's length. Do not try to reduce the amount of kratom by more than 2 grams at a time.
  
  Studies have shown that individuals using kratom to cure their opiate addiction are more likely to suffer from a kratom hangover- a mild withdrawal compared to sometimes life-threatening withdrawal of methadone. For this reason when using kratom to quit opiates it is strongly suggested that health care professionals be involved to ensure the safety of the recovering user.
