Safe Alternatives to Kratom Now That It’s Banned in Louisiana

Kratom has been promoted as a natural way to manage pain, stress, or opioid withdrawal. But with Louisiana’s recent ban on kratom, many people who relied on it are now left wondering: What do I do next?

The truth is, while kratom may have provided temporary relief, it came with risks — including addiction, health complications, and legal uncertainty. The good news is that there are safer, proven alternatives that can help you move forward without relying on kratom.

Why People Looked to Kratom

Many people used kratom as a “self-help” solution for:

• Coping with opioid withdrawal

• Managing chronic pain or anxiety

• Seeking a legal substitute for stronger substances

  
  

But kratom wasn’t without dangers. With unregulated products and inconsistent strength, many users found themselves dependent on yet another unsafe substance.

Safer Alternatives to Kratom

At Opioid Addiction Solutions, we help individuals find healthier, more effective ways to recover. Here are some safe alternatives:

1. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Options like Suboxone® are FDA-approved, medically supervised, and proven to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms safely.

2. Professional Counseling and Support

Addiction doesn’t just affect the body — it affects the mind. Counseling helps address underlying issues, build coping skills, and support long-term recovery.

3. Personalized Care Plans

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. We work with each patient to create a treatment path tailored to their unique needs and goals.

4. Community and Aftercare Support

Long-term recovery requires ongoing support. We provide resources, guidance, and encouragement even after the first stages of treatment.

Why Choose These Alternatives Over Kratom

Unlike kratom, which is now banned in Louisiana, medical treatment options are:

• Safe and regulated

• Scientifically proven to work

• Supervised by professionals

• Focused on long-term success
  

These approaches not only help manage withdrawal but also set you on a path toward true healing.
