Understanding Ketamine

Treatment versus misuse

Ketamine is used in supervised clinical settings. It is also used recreationally and at home without supervision, where use can grow more frequent, larger and harder to control.

Our guide to ketamine misuse versus ketamine therapy explains the difference.

Recognizing the Pattern

Signs of ketamine misuse

These signs can appear whether use began at a party or with a prescription.

  • Using more often or in larger amounts
  • Bladder pain or urinary problems
  • Dissociation that lingers
  • Hiding use

Our Approach

How we treat ketamine misuse

We treat the misuse and the reasons it started, together.

  • Psychiatric care for the depression ketamine was meant to treat
  • Therapy
  • Recovery mentoring
  • Medical referral for bladder symptoms
