Dual diagnosisStimulant programWhat to know about ketamine
Ketamine is used legitimately in hospitals and in supervised depression treatment, which can make it hard to see when use has become a problem. Using it to cope, using more often, or using despite urinary pain or memory problems are warning signs.
Because many people who misuse ketamine also live with depression or anxiety, programs that treat both at once tend to fit best. Read signs of ketamine addiction.
What ketamine rehab looks like
Ketamine rehab gives you distance from the drug and time to address what drove the use. Residential care suits frequent, heavy use or use alongside other drugs; intensive dual-diagnosis programs fit when you can live at home safely.
Ask about psychiatric care, therapy for trauma, and medical follow-up for bladder or urinary symptoms.
