WESTCHESTER, FL – August 4, 2025 – As the FDA intensifies its crackdown on the potent kratom compound 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), the addiction treatment center Ibogaine by David Dardashti is issuing a critical warning based on alarming clinical trends. The clinic’s founder, David Dardashti, is speaking out about the substance’s deceptive role as a gateway to more dangerous opioids, based on a sharp increase in patients seeking treatment for kratom dependency at his facility.
The recent FDA actions targeting concentrated 7-OH products—dubbed “legal morphine” by some researchers—underscore a danger the clinical team at Ibogaine by David Dardashti sees daily. The clinic has witnessed a significant increase in patients arriving with a primary or secondary addiction to kratom, often after being misled by marketing that promotes it as a safe, herbal alternative to opioids. This firsthand clinical data forms the basis for their urgent public warning.
“We are seeing a disturbing pattern,” states David Dardashti. “Patients come to us after starting with kratom, thinking it’s a safe, natural remedy. They don’t realize they are developing a true opioid dependency until it’s too late. The initial effects fade, tolerance builds, and suddenly they are facing a full-blown addiction with severe withdrawals. The next logical step for many is to seek out something stronger and deadlier, like fentanyl. We are on the front lines of this trend, and it is alarming.”
As referenced in recent reports, experts confirm that while the kratom leaf itself may be mild, concentrated extracts containing 7-OH are significantly more potent and act as pure opioids. This creates the dangerous cycle of dependency that the clinic observes. Users require ever-increasing doses, eventually finding that the legal substance no longer satisfies the addiction it created, driving them toward the illicit drug market.
Despite the alarming trend, the team at Ibogaine by David Dardashti reports significant success in treating kratom addiction and offers a message of hope. Based on extensive clinical experience, the center has found a notable distinction in the recovery process for these patients.
“The good news in this growing crisis is that we’ve found that individuals dependent on kratom can be brought back to sobriety with less difficulty than those entrenched in long-term Suboxone or fentanyl use,” Dardashti explains. “Ibogaine therapy works to reset the brain’s neurotransmitters and interrupt addiction at the source. For our kratom patients, the process is often smoother and the path to a full recovery is remarkably clear. Our goal is to intervene effectively before the addiction escalates into a far more tragic story.”
