Promis | Private Addiction Treatment & Mental Health Rehabilitation

The way people view ketamine has changed recently because it is now being used for medical purposes to help people with depression and other mental health conditions. However, it's crucial to keep in mind that ketamine abuse or misuse can still lead to serious harm.

Breaking free from ketamine’s grip requires specialised care and unwavering support. At PROMIS , we offer a tailored approach to navigate the complexities of ketamine addiction and guide you toward lasting recovery.

Ketamine is a type of anaesthetic that can cause hallucinations. It changes how we see and hear things, making us feel disconnected and out of control. This drug can be injected and works quickly in both humans and animals. It is called a "dissociative anaesthetic" because it helps people feel separate from their pain and surroundings.

In addition, ketamine can also make someone feel calm, unable to move, relieve pain, and forget what happened while using it. Although some people misuse it for the strange feelings it provides, unfortunately, it has also been used in cases of sexual assault.

While ketamine use can offer a trance-like state and pain relief in medical settings, its misuse can lead to various physical and psychological issues.

Signs & Symptoms

Psychological

There are several effects associated with ketamine use. The drug causes hallucinations and can make people feel detached and out of control. Users might notice their heart rate and blood pressure rise a few minutes after taking it, but these levels usually drop back down in 10 to 20 minutes.

Ketamine can also make people less responsive to outside stimuli. During this time, they may have rapid eye movements, dilated pupils, increased saliva, tears, and muscle stiffness. CONTACT US

How We Treat at PROMIS

When an individual decides to stop taking ketamine after consistent drug use, they may face a series of withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms arise as the body attempts to adjust to the absence of the substance it has grown accustomed to.

Some of the most common withdrawal symptoms of ketamine include tremors, sleep problems, anxiety, depressed mood, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, difficulty in concentration, and intense cravings for ketamine.

Navigating the journey from ketamine addiction to sobriety requires a comprehensive and multifaceted approach. At PROMIS Rehab, we offer a range of treatment options tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Our comprehensive treatment for ketamine addiction ensures that every stage of recovery is addressed with utmost precision and care.

Initiating the journey to recovery often starts with ketamine detox, where the body is cleansed from residual ketamine and other toxins. This essential step helps you to minimise withdrawal symptoms and prepare you for effective therapeutic interventions. Our medical professionals supervise this process to ensure safety and manage any complications that may arise.

If you or a loved one is suffering from ketamine addiction, it’s crucial to recognise that hope and effective treatment are available.

At PROMIS , we tailor a comprehensive treatment plan to address each individual’s specific challenges and needs. Our goal is to guide you through the journey to overcome ketamine addiction and provide you with the tools and support necessary for lasting recovery.

Don’t let addiction dictate your life any longer; seek help with our specialised drug rehab treatment and reclaim your path to wellness and fulfilment.

Treatment Formats

Residential

Residential treatment, sometimes referred to as inpatient treatment, is the highest level of care to help people recover from ketamine addiction. Beyond medical care, our programme focuses on various therapeutic modalities, from individual counselling to group therapy sessions. Addressing the underlying causes of addiction and equipping individuals with coping skills is vital in this stage.

Outpatient

Outpatient treatment caters to those who require ongoing support but may not need the intensive structure of a residential setting. Individuals can continue with their daily routines while regularly attending therapy sessions. It’s an ideal option for those transitioning from residential treatment or individuals who’ve committed to quitting ketamine and need structured support.

Aftercare

Recovery from ketamine addiction doesn’t end with completing a treatment programme. Aftercare ensures lasting sobriety by providing continued support even after the main phases of ketamine treatment are over. This may include group sessions, follow-up meetings, or access to community resources that encourage long-term abstinence and improve well-being.
