Exploring Ketamine Assisted Therapy at Milestone Recovery
At Milestone Recovery, we don’t just treat mental health issues; we offer a path to healing and hope. Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAT) is a key part of our approach for clients dealing with conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Ketamine therapy can lead to lasting improvements in mental and physical health and support individuals struggling with addiction. Our medical team is here to help you on this transformative journey.
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy: A Personalized Approach
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic, that acts on the brain’s glutamate system. It changes how neurotransmitters are released and helps the brain form new connections. Ketamine therapy helps rewire the brain and alleviate symptoms of various mental health disorders.
Our studies show that ketamine therapy can relieve symptoms of depression. This may be because it boosts the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Ketamine’s ability to change how the brain works is vital for proper brain circulation. This change can help control moods and emotions.
At Milestone Recovery, we understand that each client’s journey is unique. We take a personalized approach to Ketamine Assisted Therapy, meeting the specific needs and goals of each client. Our board-certified psychiatrists and licensed therapists are committed to offering support every step of the way.
How Ketamine Therapy Works
We’ve witnessed firsthand the unique role ketamine plays in therapy. In our sessions, clients enter a dissociative state where they can explore the root causes of their mental health concerns.
Ketamine therapy often leads to enhanced insights and perspectives. This experience may be more elusive than traditional talk therapy. We’ve seen that deep self-reflection can make people feel connected and spiritually aware. A journey of personal development and exploration that leads to healing and transformation.
Our trained professionals provide therapeutic support, guiding you through this heightened self-awareness. Together, we’ll address and process traumatic memories, negative thought patterns, and other emotional blockages.
The Process of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
At Milestone Recovery, we offer ketamine assisted therapy to help clients with mental health issues. This approach has worked well for conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. We have three main stages to ensure clients get the most out of their experience.
Pre-Therapy Assessment
Before starting ketamine-assisted therapy, our therapists conduct a thorough assessment. This assessment looks at your medical history, mental health issues, medications, and any concerns. We prioritize client’s safety, ensuring ketamine therapy is right for you. Our approach creates a foundation for collaboration and trust.
We make sure ketamine therapy is safe and right for you. We ask clients to discuss their goals, fears, and expectations. This helps build trust and teamwork between clients and therapists at Milestone Recovery.
During the Therapy Session
During a ketamine therapy session, our therapists carefully watch over clients to keep them safe and comfortable. We give the ketamine through an IV and adjust the dosage for each person’s needs.
Our therapists guide clients through every step of the session. We encourage clients to think about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This helps them understand and deal with underlying issues. Our sessions are supportive and non-judgmental so that clients can explore their subconscious.
Post-Therapy Care
After a ketamine therapy session, we make sure to provide continued support and guidance. Our therapists help clients use what they learned in therapy in their everyday lives. We may suggest clients continue regular therapy sessions and/or change how they live.
Our commitment to your well-being continues through post-therapy care. We also work with clients to spot any problems that might come up post-session. Our personalized approach empowers you to navigate your mental health journey with resilience and self-awareness.
The Therapeutic Benefit: Ketamine Therapy
Imagine waking up in the morning with a renewed sense of energy and motivation, ready to take on the day. With ketamine-assisted therapy, this is a new reality for our clients struggling with mental health disorders.
Mental Health Improvements
At Milestone Recovery, ketamine assisted therapy offers quick relief from depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders. Ketamine therapy can be effective within hours or days. This fast relief can improve a client’s life, making it easier for them to handle daily tasks and feel better overall.
The benefits of ketamine therapy last a long time. Our studies show that ketamine helps the brain make lasting positive changes, improving mood, thinking, and overall mental health. This shift in the brain can also renew hope and a new perspective on their recovery journey.
Physical Health Advantages
Ketamine-assisted therapy not only helps with mental health issues but also has great physical benefits. It can ease chronic pain, like fibromyalgia or migraines, by changing how the brain and spinal cord process pain signals.
Our research shows that ketamine can help clients going through substance withdrawal. It does this by reducing symptoms and cravings, which can make detoxification and early recovery easier. It also helps reduce physical discomfort like muscle pain, headaches, and nausea during withdrawal.
Additionally, ketamine’s anti-inflammatory effects can help people with conditions like autoimmune disorders feel better. These physical benefits show how ketamine therapy can help the whole body.
