Ketamine and Addiction
Ketamine is a powerful dissociative anesthetic used in medicine for pain management, mental health care, sedation, and anesthesia. It can be used to treat multiple mental health conditions and can be effective in treating mood disorders, as an antidepressant, and in decreasing suicidal thoughts. These treatments incorporate a small dose of IV ketamine in a highly regulated environment.
However, ketamine is commonly used recreationally due to its psychological effects. Illicit ketamine use is prevalent among young adults and adolescents. Side effects of ketamine include schizophrenia like symptoms, including psychosis and dissociation, and long-term use can easily develop into addiction and physical dependence.
Mood & Behavior
Ketamine use causes initial euphoria, placing the user in a dream-like state. While low doses of ketamine are used medically, high doses of off-label ketamine are used illicitly. The initial behavior after a dose of ketamine includes hallucinations and confusion. Long-term use and ketamine addiction can cause agitation, severe depression or anxiety, and mood swings.
Additionally, due to its addictive nature, ketamine addiction causes behavioral changes such as continued efforts to buy and use ketamine. Sudden changes in social groups and habits can indicate ketamine dependence.
Physical Changes
Ketamine is used medicinally in patients at a low dose, and physical changes are closely monitored. However, illicit ketamine use causes intense physical changes outside of a clinical setting. Physical side effects include increased heart rate and blood pressure, bladder problems, abdominal pain, and nausea and vomiting.

Support for Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
At Wellbridge, we offer treatment for ketamine addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders, including:
- Depression: Ketamine infusion therapy can be used to treat severe mental health disorders, such as treatment-resistant depression, due to its effects on serotonin levels. However, illicit ketamine and ketamine addiction increase depression symptoms, requiring professional treatment.

- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Due to dysregulation, an increase in ADHD symptoms is commonly found with ketamine addiction.
