September is National Recovery Month! 💜

The Coleman Institute sees every day that recovery doesn’t look the same for everyone.

This month, we’re celebrating the people in recovery, those still finding their way, the loved ones walking beside them, and the professionals who treat patients with compassion and care.

Every person deserves to be met with dignity, hope, and the belief that change is possible.

💟 If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, don’t wait to get help. Call us at 877-773-3869 for a free, confidential consultation.

Every life lost to overdose was a life that mattered. 🕊️

On International Overdose Awareness Day, we honor those who are no longer with us, those who have survived, as well as the loved ones and communities affected.

Overdose is preventable; carry naloxone, recognize the signs, and never be afraid to call for help.

Compassion saves lives. Stigma doesn’t. 💜

08/25/2026

💜 As Overdose Awareness Month continues and we approach International Overdose Awareness Day at the end of the month, let’s be reminded of the importance of recognizing the signs of an overdose and knowing how to respond.

➡️ If someone may be experiencing an overdose, call 911 immediately, administer naloxone (Narcan) if available, and stay with them until help arrives.

Take this August as an opportunity to remember the lives lost to overdose, support the people and families affected, reduce stigma, and share information that could help save a life. 🕊️

At The Coleman Institute, we believe overdose prevention begins with education, compassion, and access to treatment. If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use, help is available, and recovery is possible. 🩵

🎉 Our new free Guide to Understanding Kratom Detox is now available!

We created this resource to answer the questions people commonly have when they or someone they care about is considering kratom detox. The guide covers both synthetic and semi-synthetic forms of kratom, including 7-OH extracts, MGM-15, pseudo, and more; how dependence and withdrawal develop; detox approaches; and what to expect from The Coleman Institute’s five-day outpatient program.

It also includes practical information about our abstinence-based approach, traveling for treatment, lodging, payment options, naltrexone therapy, and more. 🩵

SR-17018 (SR-17) is an experimental research chemical that has recently gained attention as some people explore ways to self-detox from opioids like painkillers, fentanyl, and he**in, as well as kratom-derived products like 7-OH, MGM-15, and pseudo.

In our latest blog, we explain what SR-17018 is, why some people are using it to self-detox, what current research actually says, and the potential risks involved.

As regulations surrounding kratom-derived products, including 7-OH, MGM-15, and pseudo, are getting stricter, more people are searching for alternatives.

One name keeps coming up: akuamma. But what is it? And is it really a viable replacement for kratom?

Our latest blog explores why akuamma is gaining attention, how it compares to kratom, and what current research actually says.

The kratom community increasingly mentioned akuamma (Picralima nitida) as a potential kratom alternative or 7-OH replacement.

Recovery is about more than just the person receiving treatment; it also affects the spouses, parents, siblings, friends, and loved ones who walk beside them.

These words were written by the support person for one of our patients, in the hope that they might encourage someone else. Whether you're preparing to take that first step, finding your footing in early sobriety, or simply need a reminder after years of recovery, we hope this message meets you where you are.

You are stronger than you realize, more loved than you know, and you're never alone on your journey. 💙

🌿 Herbal ≠ Harmless

July is Herbal & Prescription Interaction Awareness Month, a time to spread awareness that herbal products can interact with prescription medications, including kratom products.

Whether it's traditional kratom, concentrated extracts, or products like 7-OH, MGM-15, and Pseudo, these substances contain active compounds that may increase the risk of potentially serious interactions when combined with certain medications.

If you use kratom products:
1️⃣ Tell your healthcare provider.
2️⃣ Disclose to them all medications, supplements, and substances you take.
3️⃣ Never assume that ‘natural’ means it's safe to mix with prescription drugs.

If you've become dependent on kratom and aren't sure how to stop, you’re not alone. The Coleman Institute offers a 5-day outpatient kratom detox using non-addictive medications to help make the process safer and more comfortable, with a 95% completion rate.

➡️ The DEA Has Announced Action to Temporarily Schedule Certain 7-OH Substances as Schedule I

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) just announced action to temporarily place certain high-potency 7-OH substances and related synthetic compounds into Schedule I under the Controlled Substances Act. The announcement follows growing concerns from federal health officials about highly concentrated 7-OH products that have become widely available.

But what does this actually mean? Does this make all kratom illegal? Which products are affected? What are MGM-15 and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl (MP)? And what should you do if you’ve become dependent on these products and are worried about withdrawal?

Our new blog article breaks down what the DEA’s announcement means, explains the difference between traditional kratom and high-potency 7-OH products, and discusses what this federal action could mean for consumers moving forward.

If you or someone you know has been using concentrated 7-OH products, now is the time to reach out for help. 🩵
