| − | Kratom can also be found to possess properties in treating opiate addiction. Because the plant has cross-tolerance with opiates, it's employed for opiate detox treatment particularly in New Zealand. For around 6 weeks, patients are let to smoke kratom when opiate withdrawal symptoms occur. Within the time range, the kratom dosage will be gradually reduced. Therapeutic utilisation of the plant should be controlled by authorized party as regular use of kratom alone may cause addiction although not as severe as opium or heroin addictions.
