West Virginia has had the highest drug overdose death rate in the United States for many years. According to CDC data analyzed by KFF, West Virginia's opioid overdose death rate in 2024 was 38.6 per 100,000 — the highest of any state, though down significantly from prior years. The need for accessible treatment remains acute, and the drug supply continues to involve fentanyl alongside other adulterants.
The challenge in West Virginia is not unique awareness — most families here have been touched by this directly. The challenge is access. In McDowell, Mingo, Logan, Wyoming, and dozens of rural counties, in-person buprenorphine providers are scarce. Distances are long, transportation is limited, and waiting lists exist even where providers do.

What we treat
Opioid Use Disorder — and the conditions that often come with it.

Kratom & 7-OH
West Virginia 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 West Virginia patients. If you are looking for help getting off kratom or 7-OH and want a real clinical plan, we treat patients across West Virginia by online visits. Same physician every visit. No insurance required.
What West Virginia 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, a West Virginia 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 West Virginia
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.

West Virginia-specific question
I'm in a rural county with no nearby providers. Can you help?
Yes. This is specifically why telehealth matters in West Virginia more than almost anywhere else. You do not need to drive to Charleston or Huntington. You do not need to be on a waiting list. You need a phone — even audio-only visits are possible when video isn't available. In McDowell, Mingo, Logan, Wyoming, Webster, and many other rural counties, in-person providers may be scarce or involve long travel times. If that's your situation, call us.
