Ketamine for Substance Abuse Treatment
A New Approach in Helping Those Battling Addiction
Substance abuse is a serious problem that can have devastating consequences. Ketamine infusions are an emerging treatment option for those struggling with addiction and substance abuse disorders. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, it’s important to understand all your options before making any decisions about treatment.
Ketamine infusions are an innovative treatment for substance abuse and addiction, which has shown promising results. The ketamine infusion therapy process can help you to overcome your addiction by restoring balance to your brain chemistry.
Facts About Substance Abuse
IV ketamine is not currently FDA-approved for any substance use disorder. However, NIDA actively supports research into ketamine’s safety and effectiveness as an addiction treatment, and a growing body of published randomized controlled trial evidence supports its off-label use in alcohol, cocaine, and opioid use disorders — particularly when combined with psychotherapy. At Revitalized Clinic, we explain the evidence clearly and honestly at your free consultation, including what it can and cannot support.
The strongest published clinical evidence for ketamine in addiction covers alcohol use disorder, cocaine use disorder, and opioid use disorder. Emerging research also covers nicotine and cannabis use disorders. For patients with co-occurring depression, anxiety, or PTSD driving their substance use, ketamine’s simultaneous benefit across all of these conditions makes it particularly well-suited as an integrated treatment tool regardless of the specific substance involved.
Why Ketamine?
In two clinical trials — one patient struggling with cocaine addiction and the other battling alcohol dependency — showed that people who were prescribed ketamine, alongside therapy, had a better outcome than those who had therapy without ketamine treatment.
More research on how ketamine affects addiction is needed, but it may change how your brain deals with cravings, motivation to quit a drug, and controlling behavioral reactions. Ketamine treatment might also make behavioral therapy more effective, which is a big part of overcoming addiction.
