For Families

How to Help a Loved One

Supporting someone through addiction is hard. These tips can make the conversation easier.

Educate Yourself

Learn about addiction as a brain disease, not a moral failing. Understanding the science helps reduce blame and opens the door to compassion.

Avoid Enabling

There’s a difference between helping and enabling. Stop covering for them, making excuses, or removing natural consequences of their kratom use.

Set Boundaries with Love

Clear boundaries protect both of you. Be firm but compassionate — “I love you, and I can’t watch you destroy yourself.”

Join Family Therapy

Trailhead offers monthly Zoom family education groups. Open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. Curriculum covers codependency, family systems, and more.

Take Care of Yourself

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Seek your own therapy, attend Al-Anon meetings, and prioritize your mental health too.

Learn About Codependency

Family systems often develop unhealthy patterns around addiction. Understanding these dynamics is the first step to changing them.

Our family support program is open to all family members 18+. Call (857) 312-1697

When They’re Not Ready

What If They Refuse Treatment?

It’s painful when someone you love won’t accept help. Here are steps that can make a difference.

1

Don’t Wait for Rock Bottom

The idea that someone must “hit rock bottom” is a myth. Earlier intervention leads to better outcomes. Start the conversation now.

2

Use Compassionate Language

Express concern without judgment. “I’ve noticed...” instead of “You always...”. Motivational interviewing techniques can help guide the conversation.

3

Set Clear Boundaries

Boundaries aren’t ultimatums — they’re statements of what you will and won’t accept. Enforce them consistently with love.

4

Consider Professional Intervention

A trained interventionist can facilitate a structured conversation. This is not about ambushing — it’s about organized, loving support.

5

Know When to Call for Help

If there’s immediate danger — seizures, severe withdrawal, liver failure symptoms, or threats of self-harm — call 911. For guidance on next steps, call us anytime.

Our admissions team can guide you through next steps — even if your loved one isn’t ready yet.

Common Questions

Kratom Treatment FAQ

Is kratom really addictive?

Yes. Kratom acts on the same opioid receptors as drugs like morphine and oxycodone. Regular use leads to physical dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms similar to opioid addiction.

How long does kratom addiction treatment take?

PHP typically lasts 20–30 days, followed by IOP for 60–90 days. Kratom withdrawal peaks around days 2–4, with most physical symptoms resolving within 1–2 weeks.

What does kratom withdrawal feel like?

Kratom withdrawal resembles opioid withdrawal: muscle aches, nausea, diarrhea, runny nose, insomnia, restless legs, irritability, and anxiety. Our NP can manage these symptoms medically.

Is medication used for kratom treatment?

In some cases, a gradual taper or short-term Suboxone (buprenorphine) protocol can ease withdrawal. Our on-site Nurse Practitioner evaluates each case individually to determine the best approach.

Can I work while in kratom treatment?

Absolutely. Our Evening Professional Track (6–9 PM, Mon–Thu) is specifically designed for working adults who need treatment without disrupting their careers.

Will insurance cover kratom addiction treatment?

Most major insurance plans cover substance use treatment, including kratom dependence. We accept Anthem BCBS, Point 32, Tricare, WellSense, and more. Call us to verify your coverage.

Can kratom damage my liver?

Yes. Heavy or prolonged kratom use has been linked to liver toxicity, including elevated liver enzymes, jaundice, and in severe cases liver failure. Early treatment reduces these risks.

Can family members be involved in treatment?

Yes. We offer family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom family education groups. These are open to any family member 18+, covering codependency, communication, and family systems.

What happens after kratom treatment ends?

Clients step down to IOP or OP, join our alumni program, receive external therapist referrals, and maintain access to family support groups for continued relapse prevention.

I started kratom to quit opioids — now I’m addicted to kratom. Can you help?

Absolutely. Many clients come to us after using kratom as self-medication for opioid withdrawal. We treat the underlying addiction with proper medical support and behavioral therapy.
