Ketamine Integration Therapy
Research over the last two decades has established ketamine as a safe, effective, fast-acting, and sustained antidepressant that significantly reduces adverse symptoms associated with depression, even in individuals where nothing else has worked or everything else has stopped working. This is because ketamine is different in several important ways. Unlike traditional psychiatric antidepressants, ketamine does not have a limited window of effectiveness.
To get the full benefit from ketamine therapy, individuals need to take advantage of the period of enhanced neuroplasticity just after the treatment by reflecting back and contemplating on the experience. Exploring the insights that are gained during the treatment and then putting them into practice is how new neural connections and pathways are formed that can dramatically improve mental wellbeing. On its own, a single ketamine treatment can produce effects that improve mental health for weeks at a time. But if you pair ketamine treatments with meaningful integration practices, the effects can last even longer; sometimes these effects can last several years - or a lifetime. Integration is the key component.
