Benefits of Ketamine Assisted Therapy
Current research has shown that ketamine is highly effective for managing treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD and other debilitating mental health disorders. When combined with psychotherapy, these changes can be long lasting and transformational.
Rapidly Effective
Ketamine is a powerful and effective treatment with a rapid and robust antidepressant effect. Many patients report improvement after the initial sessions. Over 70% experience long lasting symptom reduction after completion of treatment.

Although it's use in mental health is considered "off label," ketamine has clearly been shown to be effective and safe. It is now considered first-line treatment over TMS for management of severe depression or anxiety.

Clients have reported improvements in mood and overall functioning. Ketamine assisted therapy has been associated with enhanced emotional processing and increased psychological flexibility.

Ketamine's emergence as a groundbreaking therapy for chronic pain management presents a paradigm shift in the medical field. Moreover, its fast-acting nature provides immediate relief, granting patients the opportunity for improved mobility and quality of life. Unlike conventional pain medications, ketamine targets NMDA receptors in the brain, disrupting pain signaling pathways without the risk of opioid addiction.
Although the use of ketamine for the treatment of substance abuse is an emerging field, the data suggests that ketamine decreases cravings and shows improvements in abstinence rates for those suffering from alcohol, cocaine and opioid use disorders.
