Ohio and opioid use disorder
Southern Ohio at the center of the opioid crisis.
Learn more about how treatment works →
Ohio has been among the states most severely affected by the opioid epidemic since the late 1990s. Portsmouth, Chillicothe, Scioto County, and the surrounding Southern Ohio region were among the first communities in the country to face prescription opioid addiction at a population scale — and they continue to face disproportionate rates of overdose and limited access to treatment.
The drug supply in Ohio has shifted heavily toward illicit fentanyl, and xylazine has been increasingly detected in the supply in recent years — complicating overdose response and treatment. Buprenorphine remains one of the most effective interventions available, and access to it through online visits means patients in Scioto County or Pike County have the same same-day option as patients in Columbus.
What we treat

Kratom & 7-OH
Ohio kratom and 7-OH withdrawal treatment.
MyStreetHealth provides telehealth care for kratom withdrawal, kratom dependence, kratom use disorder, and concentrated 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) withdrawal and dependence for Ohio patients. If you are looking for help getting off kratom or 7-OH and want a real clinical plan, we treat patients across Ohio by online visits. Same physician every visit. No insurance required.
What Ohio kratom and 7-OH treatment may include
Depending on what you are using (kratom leaf, kratom extracts, kratom capsules, or concentrated 7-OH tablets, shots, gummies, or drink mixes), how much, how often, how long, and your medical history, an Ohio kratom withdrawal treatment plan may include a structured kratom taper, supportive care during withdrawal symptoms, or buprenorphine (Suboxone) when medication treatment is clinically appropriate. Buprenorphine has been reported in published case reports and case series as a treatment option for kratom and 7-OH withdrawal in selected patients; the decision is individualized by a clinician. Concentrated 7-OH products often require a different treatment approach than natural kratom leaf because the withdrawal may be more opioid-like.
Help getting off kratom or 7-OH in Ohio
The right approach depends on the product, the dose, your history, and what else is going on. A telehealth visit lets us match the plan to your situation — whether that means a gradual kratom taper, supportive care during withdrawal, help managing 7-OH withdrawal, or medication treatment when clinically appropriate. We do not push every patient toward the same answer.

Ohio-specific question
Do Ohio pharmacies sometimes refuse to fill buprenorphine?
It has been a documented problem in some Ohio communities, particularly in Southern Ohio where pharmacies have at times been reluctant to fill buprenorphine prescriptions due to concerns about diversion or volume. Your physician is aware of this and will work with you to identify a pharmacy in your area that will fill your prescription without issue. If you encounter a problem at one pharmacy, we can help you find an alternative. This is a solvable problem and not a reason to delay starting treatment.
