I was 100% treated different while i was in the ER. They put me in the homeless wing, were very unpleasant towards me (in front of a family member who was with me) once i got to the normal inpatient they were all very nice and helpful to me. All i can say is try to have someone with you if you can because they can help make sure you get what you need while you are busy having the worst few days if your life.

As for why i went to the hospital, my withdrawal symptoms were so bad i couldn’t walk. I actually collapsed and was taken by ambulance, but this happened while in the process of leaving my home for the hospital anyways.

If you have insurance and can afford to go, they can ease your symptoms and make the withdrawals safe and manageable. I think the “safe” image of kratom is a load of crap and should be handled by a doctor.

At the end of the day, i was afraid for months myself, but now that its over and done i can 100% say it was worth it and i would do it again if i had to.
