May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and what better way to spread awareness than to hear from some of our members on how their mental health changed for the better through ketamine-assisted therapy at Nushama.
When it comes to ketamine, dosing is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The transformational molecule is used for various purposes, from pain relief and anesthesia to the emerging field of psychedelic therapy. Let’s dive into the world of ketamine dosing, its effects at different doses, and, more specifically, the dosing used for ketamine-assisted therapy at Nushama.
Psychedelic therapy is growing in popularity. There are many options for choosing a clinic to receive treatment, but it’s important to choose the right one. Here are some factors to keep in mind and essential questions to ask yourself in determining the right fit for you.
Ketamine therapy is rising in popularity. Both at-home and in-person treatments are becoming more widely available. At Nushama, we treat our members in-person at our center under medical supervision, but this may not be for everyone. What do you need to know before choosing the treatment that’s right for you?
For years, rehab has been the go-to treatment for people suffering from alcohol addiction and other substance use disorders. The results have been disappointing, with most patients struggling to maintain sobriety after completing treatment. Ketamine-assisted therapy is a new, research-based treatment for people struggling with alcohol consumption that is proven to outperform rehab.
There are four unique methods of administration for ketamine during psychedelic therapy: intravenous infusion (IV), intramuscular injection (IM), lozenges, and intranasal spray. Here’s how each method of administration works and why IV is an efficacious choice.
Depression can be treated in a number of ways. The traditional SSRI treatment is effective for some, but not for everyone. Studies on ketamine have shown that it is very helpful with depression, especially when other treatments have not been able to help as much.
The use of ketamine is considered “on-label” when it is used for medical purposes that the FDA has approved it for. When it is used for other conditions that are not covered by the FDA designation, then the use is considered “off-label”.
Psychedelic therapy for anxiety and depression is a hot topic these days. You may have heard about it on Michael Pollan’s recent Netflix series, How to Change Your Mind. The series devotes each episode to a different psychedelic medicine including LSD, psilocybin, MDMA and mescaline. These four drugs all have their own benefits and drawbacks, similarly to ketamine. Let’s take a look at each drug’s legal status, safety concerns and indicated uses.
Ketamine can provide similar psychedelic effects to other drugs such as LSD, MDMA, psilocybin and mescaline and is used to treat some of the same mood disorders. What exactly is a psychedelic?
