At Psychiatry Unplugged in Glendale, CA, you can treat any substance use disorder, including alcoholism and opioid use disorders, as well as co-occurring disorders. Ketamine has been found to be highly effective in treating addiction as it helps to reframe the patient’s thoughts, allowing them to perceive their negative behaviors from a nonjudgmental and impartial perspective. In this state of mind, it is a lot easier to recognize patterns and find the motivation to make profound changes that can accomplish a greater quality of life free from substances and addictive behaviors.

There are many advantages of going to a ketamine treatment clinic, as the ketamine therapy itself provides a myriad of incredible benefits. Some of the biggest advantages include:

– Increase in Neuroplasticity — When used in a clinical setting, ketamine has been shown to increase neural activity by interacting with NMDA receptors for new cell growth. This process, known as neuroplasticity, is essential in the development of new neural connections, the processing and sorting of new information, and memory retention.

– Calms Your Mind — Ketamine therapy induces a state of relaxation; it is in this state that self-reflection occurs, which is vital in healing and recovery.

– Fast-Acting and Long-Lasting — One of the biggest advantages of ketamine therapy is that it works quickly—within hours—and continues to work even after being metabolized in the body, providing benefits for extended periods.

– Safe & Effective — Another benefit is that ketamine does not affect breathing rate and blood pressure, unlike many other drugs, which can be dangerous to people with underlying health conditions. It has a high rate of success in improving the mental health and well-being of those with treatment-resistant addiction; some reports show positive results after the first treatment.

– Minimal Side Effects — There are few side effects of ketamine use, making this versatile therapy worthwhile in countless situations.

The first visit to a ketamine health clinic involves a consultation with an addiction specialist. They will instruct you on the route of administration, dosage, and what to expect as the ketamine begins to take effect. Because ketamine is an anesthetic and can impair your alertness, you will not be able to drive after the treatment, so you must arrange a ride home. Ketamine is administered in a private room at the health clinic; the environment is relaxing and free of distractions. You may listen to calming music, and there will be low lighting. The more relaxed you are before the treatment, as well as during the treatment, the better results you will receive. After being administered ketamine, you will relax for about forty to sixty minutes, enjoying its therapeutic effects in a calming environment.
