What We Treat
Kratom addiction treatment for adults
Kratom is easy to buy and often described as natural, so it can be confusing when you find it hard to stop. If kratom has become something you rely on every day, help is available. ARC offers outpatient treatment for adults 18+ in Yuba City or by live telehealth.

Let's see how we can help
Three quick questions. No contact details yet.
When kratom use becomes hard to stop
Kratom comes from the leaves of a tree native to Southeast Asia. It is sold in shops and online as powders, capsules, teas and drinks. People use it for energy, to relax, to manage pain or to ease opioid withdrawal on their own. It is not FDA-approved for any medical use, and product strength and contents can vary.
Regular kratom use can lead to dependence. Many people notice that they need more over time, or that they feel irritable, achy and restless when they skip a dose. That is a sign your body has adapted, not a personal failure, and it is something treatment can help with.
This page is for adults in Yuba City and across California who want to cut back on or stop kratom, and for family members who are concerned.
Signs kratom use may be a problem
If several of these fit, it may be worth a confidential conversation.
- You use kratom every day and find it hard to go without.
- You need more kratom than before to feel the same effect.
- You feel irritable, achy, restless or unable to sleep when you skip a dose.
- You spend more money or time on kratom than you planned.
- You started kratom to manage opioid use or withdrawal and now feel stuck.
- You combine kratom with alcohol, opioids or other substances.
- You have tried to cut back and keep returning to the same pattern.

What to expect when you reach out
Step 1: Reach out
Request a free, confidential assessment or call or text 530-625-7910, 24/7.
Step 2: Talk with our team
We listen to what you have noticed, check your benefits and recommend a safe level of care.
Step 3: Start your plan
You begin IOP, Evening IOP or PHP, or detox first through our partner when that is safer.
Tell us how much kratom you use, how often, and whether you also use opioids, alcohol or other substances. That helps us recommend a safe starting level of care.
What to know before you stop kratom
Regular kratom use can lead to dependence and withdrawal. Withdrawal can include muscle aches, irritability, trouble sleeping, a runny nose and strong cravings. Do not stop suddenly without medical guidance, especially if you use a lot or also use other substances.
Kratom is not FDA-approved for any medical use, and products are not regulated like medications. If you may need medical detox, we coordinate it with our partner, Ona Treatment Center. ARC does not provide detox itself.
In crisis? Call or text 988 (Veterans press 1). Emergency: 911.
Insurance and paying for treatment
ARC works with many commercial plans, including Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, TRICARE, Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage varies by plan, and we verify your benefits before you start.
