About Our Ketamine Assisted Treatment for PTSD, Anxiety, Addiction, and Depression

Ketamine combined with counseling, has shown promise as a treatment for conditions like PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), depression, anxiety and addiction.

Depression: Ketamine has been shown to provide rapid relief from depression. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to exert their effects, ketamine can provide significant relief from depressive symptoms within hours of administration. This can be particularly valuable in emergency situations or for patients with severe depression or suicidal ideation.

Ketamine has been found to be effective in patients with depression that have not responded to traditional treatments, offering hope to those who have struggled to find relief with other methods.

PTSD: Ketamine may help to disrupt the traumatic memories that underlie PTSD, providing a unique approach to treatment that may be beneficial for some patients. 

Ketamine is thought to increase neuroplasticity. Evidence suggests that ketamine may help promote the growth of new neural connections, potentially helping to reverse the brain changes associated with chronic depression and PTSD.  The increase in neuroplasticity caused by Ketamine can help weakens the neural pathways that lead to negative thoughts and feelings in those with depression.  It can weaken the pathways that lead to unpleasant responses to triggers in PTSD and anxiety. Ketamine, combined with Ketamine integration counseling, can then help the brain form new pathways or strengthen the pre-existing pathways that reward and encouraged self-affirming, and positive behaviors. Ketamine facilitates this process of “rewiring” the brain, replacing negative responses with positive , life affirming ones.

Ketamine does have mild psychedelic and sedating effects.  These typically last only one to two hours and can be managed under the supervision of a healthcare professional.  At Life Line we believe the initial Ketamine treatments should be administered under the supervision of an on-site Medical Doctor and a trained Ketamine guide, who monitors and assists the patient during the entire treatment. 

While further research is needed to fully understand and optimize its use, ketamine represents a promising new avenue in the treatment of these conditions.

At Life Line Services we offer a comprehensive approach using cutting edge medications combined with counseling that addresses both physical and psychological aspects of PTSD and Depression, improving the success rate of treatment.
