Kratom & 7-OH treatment at our Chattanooga clinic
Restoration Recovery's Chattanooga clinic is our flagship location, at 6141 Shallowford Road, Suite 100, Chattanooga, TN 37421 — in the Shallowford Road corridor near I-75, in Hamilton County. It is open Monday through Friday and carries the full medication formulary on site, including the monthly Sublocade and Brixadi injections, on-site Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP), integrated behavioral health, and Hepatitis C care.
The Chattanooga clinic serves patients across Hamilton County and the surrounding communities — Hixson, East Ridge, Red Bank, Ooltewah, Signal Mountain, and Soddy-Daisy. If you are closer to another part of the region, Restoration Recovery also has clinics in Cleveland, TN and Ringgold, GA, all reachable at one number: 423-498-2000.
How we treat kratom and 7-OH dependence
Buprenorphine products (Suboxone film and tablet, Sublocade injections, Brixadi injections) are FDA-approved for opioid use disorder. Restoration Recovery clinically uses buprenorphine off-label for kratom and 7-OH dependence because the withdrawal pattern is opioid-like — mitragynine and 7-OH bind the same opioid receptors that buprenorphine binds, which is why the medication compresses kratom and 7-OH withdrawal the same way it compresses other opioid withdrawals (per Sordo 2017 BMJ and SAMHSA TIP 63). Under clinical supervision, the rough 7–14 day unsupervised withdrawal window compresses down to several days.
Treatment pairs the medication with individual counseling and certified peer support. Which medication fits you is a clinical decision made at your first appointment:
- Suboxone — daily film or tablet you take at home; the most common starting point.
- Sublocade — a once-monthly injection given at the Chattanooga clinic, so there is no daily dosing to manage.
- Brixadi — a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly injection option, also given on site.

Starting treatment in Chattanooga: what to expect
Day 1 — Call 423-498-2000 or request a callback
The intake call is short: 5–10 minutes covering insurance verification and scheduling. No clinical questions, no commitment to start treatment. We book the soonest appointment that fits your insurance at the Chattanooga clinic.
Day 1–3 — First appointment in Chattanooga
Bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card (if applicable), and a list of any medications you currently take. The visit takes 60 to 120 minutes and follows our four-step intake: a DSM-5 substance use disorder assessment plus a COWS (Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale) score, then counseling intake, then doctor evaluation, then prescription or injection ordering.
Day 3–7 — First stabilization week
Buprenorphine induction typically begins same-day or the day after your first appointment, once your COWS score confirms you are clinically ready. You will feel withdrawal compress from the typical 7–14 day unsupervised timeline down to several days. Follow-ups during the stabilization week are typically telehealth, so you do not have to take additional time off work.
