What is ketamine?

Ketamine is a dissociative medication that creates a sense of detachment by working on the chemicals in the brain. Initially used as an anesthetic, researchers realized over time that it had other unique benefits to offer.

As part of your personalized treatment plan, ketamine can be a powerful tool for mental and emotional healing.

How does ketamine help?

Ketamine helps regulate your mood and emotions by affecting neurotransmitters in your brain, like glutamate and dopamine. And the results occur quickly.

Ketamine can improve overall brain function by promoting neural connection growth and increasing your brain’s resilience.

What can I expect from ketamine treatments?

Healing From The Roots typically offers intramuscular (IM) ketamine injections in individual and group settings.

Group ketamine therapy

For group ketamine therapy, your medically monitored treatment is often in a soothing meditation space and includes sound bowls for an enriched mindfulness experience.

Individual ketamine therapy

During an individual treatment, your provider monitors you and can provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Your sessions may include somatic grounding techniques, such as vibrations connected to soothing music.

You can elect to have nasal spray ketamine therapy. The team combines this treatment with bodywork, and it may be ideal if you struggle with talk therapy.

As you go through ketamine therapy, you may feel detached from your surroundings or like you’re in a dream. The Healing From The Roots team keeps you safe and mindful to ensure you get the most out of your experience.

After your session, make sure you have a ride home. Don’t worry if you feel a sense of fatigue. You may continue the rest of your day introspective and vulnerable; give yourself space to process your emotions.
