Addiction Treatment

Welcome to Healthy ME Medical Therapies, a leading provider of ketamine therapy for substance abuse treatment in Miami, FL. Our state-of-the-art ketamine infusion center specializes in delivering evidence-based treatments designed to help individuals overcome addiction and achieve lasting recovery.

How Ketamine Treatment Works for Substance Abuse

Ketamine, a powerful anesthetic with a long history of use in medical settings, has recently shown significant therapeutic potential in treating substance abuse disorders. It works by interacting with specific receptors in the brain, inducing a state of relaxation and dissociation that can be highly beneficial in addiction treatment.

At Healthy ME Medical Therapies, our skilled clinicians administer ketamine in a controlled and supportive environment under the supervision of experienced medical professionals. Each infusion typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, during which patients may experience deep relaxation and dissociation.

The Benefits of Ketamine Treatment for Substance Abuse

Ketamine treatment for substance abuse offers several advantages, including:

• Rapid Symptom Relief: Ketamine can quickly alleviate depression, anxiety, and other addiction-related symptoms, accelerating progress in recovery.
• Enhanced Insight and Introspection: The dissociative effects of ketamine can help patients gain a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of their addiction, supporting meaningful and lasting change.
• Reduced Cravings: Research has shown that ketamine can decrease cravings for drugs and alcohol, aiding in the maintenance of sobriety and reducing the risk of relapse.
• Improved Mood and Well-Being: Ketamine has the potential to elevate mood and overall well-being, providing crucial support during the recovery process.

What to Expect During Your Ketamine Treatment

During a ketamine infusion session at Healthy ME Medical Therapies, patients receive the medication intravenously (IV) in a comfortable, clinical setting. The infusion typically lasts 40 minutes to an hour, and patients are closely monitored by our healthcare team throughout the treatment.

Patients may experience a sense of dissociation, feeling detached from their surroundings or perceiving changes in time, colors, or shapes. These effects usually diminish shortly after the infusion. Following the treatment, patients are observed for a brief period before being discharged, with a recommendation to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery for at least 24 hours.
