At Four Winds Recovery Center, we specialize in kratom addiction treatment for men. Our dedicated team offers personalized, evidence-based care in a supportive environment designed specifically for men struggling with substance use disorders.
Despite kratom’s legal status and seemingly safe reputation in certain circles, it has significant potential for misuse and addiction, requiring comprehensive treatment approaches to achieve lasting recovery
Each man who enters our Marietta facility receives a completely individualized treatment plan. We evaluate personal history, addiction patterns, co-occurring mental health conditions, and life circumstances to design a program that addresses the whole person.
This personalized approach ensures that treatment directly targets the root causes of addiction, which are unique to each individual.
Our continuum of care provides the right level of support at each stage of recovery. Men may begin with our structured day treatment program, then transition to our intensive outpatient program as they build confidence and stability.
The stepped approach ensures continuous support while gradually increasing independence and preparing men for successful long-term sobriety.
Perhaps most powerful is the brotherhood that forms among clients. In this supportive male community, men find understanding, accountability, and authentic connections often missing from their lives during active addiction.
They learn from each other’s experiences, challenge destructive thinking patterns, and rebuild a healthy sense of masculinity together.
By creating this specialized environment for men, Four Winds Recovery Center offers more than just addiction treatment—we provide a transformative experience where men rediscover their strength, purpose, and ability to live fulfilling lives free from meth addiction.
Kratom addiction affects numerous individuals in Atlanta and beyond, with usage increasingly widespread in the United States.
Recognizing the signs and understanding the impact of kratom use is crucial for seeking timely help.
Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The leaves contain psychoactive compounds that produce stimulant effects at low doses and opioid-like effects at higher doses.
Despite being legal and sometimes perceived as safe, kratom has significant potential for substance abuse and drug addiction. It’s available in various forms, including powder, pills, capsules, or drinkable extracts.
Many individuals begin using kratom for its pain-relieving effects or as an alternative to traditional opioids, unaware of its addictive properties.
Kratom’s primary psychoactive components (mitragynine and 77-hydroxy mitragynine) interact with opioid receptors in the brain, creating the potential for dependency and addiction.
Despite its legal status in many areas, regular use can lead to physical dependence, with users developing tolerance and experiencing withdrawal symptoms when attempting to stop.
Physical indicators:
Development of tolerance requiring higher doses to achieve the desired effects
Withdrawal symptoms when attempting to stop, including muscle aches, insomnia, irritability, liver damage, and anxiety
Fatigue and physical dependence
In severe cases, seizures or hallucinations during withdrawal
Behavioral changes:
Loss of interest in activities or hobbies not involving substance use
Conflicts with loved ones, co-workers, or employers
Erratic and restless behavior when under the influence
Frequent absenteeism or tardiness at work or school
Using more kratom than intended over longer periods
Psychological effects:
Craving for kratom when not using
Depression or anxiety when attempting to stop
Difficulty controlling kratom use despite negative consequences
Using kratom to self-medicate for pain or other mental health issues
When someone develops a dependence on kratom and then stops or reduces usage, they may experience a range of withdrawal symptoms.
Understanding the kratom withdrawal timeline is essential for those seeking recovery.
Early Withdrawal (First 24-48 Hours)
During the initial days after stopping kratom, individuals may experience:
Muscle aches and pains
Insomnia
Irritability
Anxiety
Runny nose
Excessive tearing
Sweating
Restlessness
Peak Withdrawal (Days 2-5)
Symptoms typically intensify during this period:
Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea
Abdominal cramps
Intense cravings
Severe anxiety
Depression
Tremors
Muscle spasms
Late Withdrawal (Days 5-14)
While physical symptoms begin to subside, psychological symptoms may persist:
Continued mood disturbances
Lingering anxiety
Decreased energy
Difficulty concentrating
Mood swings
Persistent cravings
The severity and duration of kratom withdrawal vary based on factors such as:
Daily dosage amount
Frequency of use
Duration of kratom use
Individual health factors
Previous substance use history
Method of cessation (cold turkey vs. tapering)
At Four Winds Recovery, we’ve developed a comprehensive approach for our kratom rehab center that addresses both the physical dependency and the underlying factors contributing to substance use.
We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand the extent of kratom addiction and any co-occurring disorders. A personalized assessment helps our clinical team develop a targeted treatment plan that addresses both the addiction and any underlying mental health concerns that may contribute to substance use.
Our assessment process includes:
Medical evaluation
Psychological assessment
Addiction history
Family and social dynamics
Co-occurring disorders screening
Determination of the appropriate level of care
While detoxification from kratom can be challenging, we partner with experienced medical teams for supervision to ensure a safe withdrawal process and manage symptoms effectively.
Four Winds Recovery Center offers a full continuum of care for men seeking recovery from kratom addiction, with access to several types of detox and treatment programs tailored to individual needs.
Here’s how kratom detox and kratom rehab are supported through Four Winds Recovery and its trusted partners:
Medically Supervised Detox: Four Winds Recovery partners with reputable local providers to offer medically supervised detoxification.
This ensures clients can withdraw from kratom and other substances in a safe, secure environment with round-the-clock medical oversight and medication management as needed.
The goal is to help individuals begin treatment with a healthy body and clear mind, minimizing the risks and discomfort of withdrawal.
Residential Treatment (Inpatient Rehab): For those needing a highly structured environment, Four Winds Recovery can facilitate admission to residential treatment through its network of partner facilities.
In residential care, clients live on-site and receive 24/7 support. They also participate in therapeutic services that promote emotional, physical, and psychological healing.
This setting removes individuals from outside stressors and triggers, allowing them to focus fully on recovery.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Through local partners, Four Winds Recovery’s PHP offers intensive therapy and support for most of the day, five days a week. Clients with stable home environments may return home after sessions, while others are encouraged to stay in sober living facilities.
This program balances structure with flexibility, providing a high level of care without full residential commitment.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Evening IOP: The IOP is designed for those stepping down from higher care levels or needing more flexibility. Clients attend therapy several days a week for a few hours at a time, with an evening option available for those with daytime responsibilities.
This allows men to maintain work, school, or family obligations while receiving essential support.
Outpatient Program (OP): As the final step in the continuum, the outpatient program helps clients transition back into daily life. Weekly sessions and support groups reinforce coping skills and relapse prevention strategies, supporting long-term recovery.
Four Winds Recovery Center is dedicated to guiding men through every stage of recovery, from detox to reintegration, by connecting them with the right level of care and ongoing support.
Our programs include evidence-based approaches proven effective for substance use disorders:
Individual Therapy: One-on-one therapy sessions help address underlying causes contributing to addiction, including trauma, mental health disorders, and personal challenges.
Evidence-Based Approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) help to develop healthier coping strategies and thought patterns.
Group Therapy: We offer psychoeducational groups where men can share experiences and learn from others facing similar struggles. This peer support is a cornerstone of recovery, providing validation and community.
These groups provide a safe space to practice communication skills, receive feedback, and build a supportive community.
Trauma Therapy: Recognizing the connection between trauma and addiction, we incorporate trauma-informed care to help men process and heal from past experiences that may contribute to substance use, tailored to their unique needs.
This therapy helps individuals gain insight into how traumatic events have impacted their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and beliefs.
Anger Management: We provide specialized anger management therapy, understanding that anger and addiction often go Four Winds Recovery. These sessions help men develop healthier ways to express emotions and improve interpersonal relationships.
Family Therapy: We involve loved ones in the recovery journey, helping families heal and develop positive communication patterns that support lasting sobriety.
We recognize the importance of healing family relationships damaged by addiction and involve loved ones in the recovery process when appropriate.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Our recently expanded dual diagnosis program addresses co-occurring mental health disorders alongside kratom addiction, providing integrated care for conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other psychiatric disorders.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): When appropriate, we utilize evidence-based medications through medical supervision to support recovery, especially for those with co-occurring disorders or severe dependency.
Our kratom rehab center integrates mindfulness practices, anger management techniques, and life skills training to promote overall well-being and provide healthy coping mechanisms to replace kratom use.
In addition to evidence-based clinical interventions, we incorporate holistic approaches that support whole-person healing:
Mindfulness practices
Stress management techniques
Life skills development
Physical wellness activities
Nutritional guidance
Spiritual exploration (non-denominational)
Community engagement opportunities
Recovery doesn’t end when formal treatment concludes. We emphasize aftercare planning to support long-term sobriety and continued personal growth.
Our aftercare planning includes the following:
Personalized continuing care recommendations
Referrals to local support groups and recovery communities
Alumni programming and ongoing connection
Relapse prevention strategies
Resources for education, employment, and housing as needed
Family support recommendations
Ongoing therapy options
We remain a resource for our alumni long after they complete our program, offering a continued connection to the Four Winds Recovery community.
Men often face unique challenges when it comes to acknowledging addiction and seeking help. Societal expectations of strength, self-reliance, and control can create significant barriers to treatment.

Express vulnerability without judgment
Connect with others facing similar challenges
Develop emotional awareness and regulation skills
Build healthy relationships and support systems
Address trauma in a gender-sensitive environment
Create new definitions of strength and masculinity that include asking for help
Our gender-specific approach acknowledges these unique challenges and provides tailored support that respects men’s experiences and needs.
