While Intravenous Ketamine takes the lead in PTSD and depression treatment, recent research indicates IV Ketamine also treats addiction.
Specifically, alcohol consumption. Indeed, in one study using Intravenous Ketamine, alcohol consumption was reduced for a minimum of nine months!

At the onset of your Ketamine journey, a quintessential question emerges:
“What is the perfect Ketamine-infusion timeline?” How should you approach maintenance Ketamine Infusions?
Neuromend's own, Allen Green, recently sat down with KADN to discuss how his clinic is helping to treat PTSD and depression which is a common struggle for many first responders.
With the new millennium emerged a new party drug, K, previously known as Ketamine. K’s popularity exploded. And, spread like wildfire.
“Last week I completed my sixth ketamine infusion at Neuromend Infusion Therapy in Lafayette, La. I have been struggling with depression off and on my entire life. The 7th grade was the first time I remember feeling uncomfortable, on the outside and not a "part of". I also experienced horrible stomach aches almost daily. The doctors never found anything wrong with me physically so they chalked it up as stress. I was athletic, had plenty friends, and lacked nothing as a child. There was no cause that I could see. It would get better for a couple years then I would relapse into another depression. This happened in 7th grade, 10th grade, then again as a freshman in college and would continue for my entire life. In high school I started self-medicating with alcohol and other drugs. Until that in itself became problematic.
New year. New me.
Every January, motivation hits and we become determined that this is the year we will make major improvements in our lives.

When each day is a struggle to get out of bed, how can one even begin to contemplate gathering the motivation to make life-altering changes.
The research suggests otherwise.

Veterans fight long and hard to keep our country safe and free. They spend many years sacrificing their time and energy preparing to battle those who pose a threat to the United States only to come home and fight a battle against an enemy where they received no training.
