Indications for Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine is an ideal treatment for battling numerous mental health conditions that are not alleviated using traditional therapy and medications. Some examples of indications include:
- Depression – Alleviates symptoms and fosters a more positive outlook on life.
- Anxiety – Provides relief for anxious thoughts and feelings
- Bipolar and manic episodes
- PTSD – Helps process traumatic experiences and reduce distress
- Substance use disorders and addiction – Helps clients overcome substance misuse by breaking harmful cycles
How Ketamine Works
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been used in hospitals for anesthetic procedures for several decades. It’s very safe and widely regarded as transformative in therapeutic settings when used at a significantly lower dose than what is used in anesthesia.
It works by rewiring neural pathways in the brain, positively altering the mental state. Ketamine can effectively stop disruptive thought patterns and transform them into positive thinking.
Ketamine is available in both oral and injectable, and many providers offer one or the other, and sometimes both. We prefer oral ketamine as a sublingual lozenge.
Sublingual Ketamine
These lozenges dissolve under the tongue, delivering ketamine gradually into your system. This route is ideal for those seeking a gentler, more flexible approach and can be used for at-home treatment in specific cases under physician guidance.
There are multiple benefits to sublingual, including:
- Controlled, titratable dosing
- Fewer physical side effects compared to injectable
- A gradual onset that many find less intense
- A longer-lasting reflective state, often extending into the days following treatment
Intramuscular (IM) Ketamine
IM ketamine is administered by a trained physician in a calm, supportive setting. It provides a more immediate and immersive experience than sublingual, often used when deeper dissociation or rapid relief is desired. The dosage is carefully adjusted to support both safety and the therapeutic process.
What Ketamine Feels Like
Most clients feel the dissociative or psychedelic properties of ketamine gradually as it takes effect. Typical sensations are described as out-of-body, giving clients the opportunity to view themselves and their thought processes from a completely different viewpoint.
The effects vary from person to person, but almost universally it is known to be a positive, uplifting, transformative experience.
