Is Ketamine addictive?
Ketamine itself has a low potential for addiction when used in a clinical setting under medical supervision. While recreational misuse of ketamine can lead to dependence, the controlled use of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) follows thoughtful dosing and safety protocols to minimize this risk.
Each patient undergoes a comprehensive intake with Dr. Chanoff and their Joy In Health psychotherapist to develop a personalized and collaborative treatment plan tailored to their needs. The effects of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) vary from person to person, depending on factors like individual sensitivity, treatment goals, and integration practices. Many patients experience relief after just a few sessions, with benefits lasting anywhere from several days to several weeks. For some, a full treatment series, paired with psychotherapy, can lead to longer-lasting improvements in mood, cognition, and overall well-being. Ongoing integration practices, such as longer-term therapy, lifestyle changes, and mindfulness, can help extend and deepen the benefits over time.
At Joy In Health, we prioritize safety, compassion, and personalized care in every ketamine assisted psychotherapy session. Our experienced team is trained in both ketamine administration and psychotherapeutic techniques, ensuring that you receive the highest quality of care throughout your treatment journey. In addition, there is medical supervision throughout the entire experience.
