@sunnyflower My training is in mental health and co-occurring (addiction), so I am particularly interested in this topic.

This discussion is on the drug Kratom but I've noticed that people detoxing off of any drug tend to eat a lot of junk food and gain weight quickly. There are a number of factors that contribute to the weight gain. In my experience, the rapid weight gain leads to poor body image. Moving forward I think I will advise patients to consult a nutritionist as part of their recovery plan.

Thank you for the perspective and information. It's important to treat the "whole" person and I feel a nutritionist is another tool a patient in recovery can utilize.
