We at Jagruti Rehab dedicatedly update ourselves with the latest developments and research in the medical industry. Our goal is to provide you with innovative and effective treatments to ensure the best mental health care. Ketamine Therapy is one such innovation that has emerged as a hope for people suffering from mental health conditions. Our team of qualified therapists are using this novel approach for the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental conditions.
In this article, we delve into Ketamine Therapy and explore its benefits, applications, and how we are using it as a crucial ingredient of our mental health and rehabilitation programs for healing and recovery.
Ketamine Therapy What Is It?
Ketamine Therapy is a psychotherapy that uses the medication Ketamine for the treatment of several mental health problems. While ketamine is a well-researched drug, it was initially developed as a dissociative anaesthetic. However, it showed excellent results in reducing the symptoms of severe mental conditions like depression, anxiety, and chronic pain conditions that often are resistant to treatment.
Ketamine therapy is giving hope to patients and families who have not been able to get results through traditional medicines. However, Ketamine Therapy is administered in controlled amounts under the supervision of experts. After extensive studies of Ketamine’s therapeutic properties, it has been made available for mental health treatment.
Key Takeaways of Ketamine Therapy
- Rapid Symptom Relief: Ketamine provides rapid relief in contrast to antidepressants, which take time to show its effect.
- Targeted Application: Specific mental health and chronic pain conditions can be targeted with ketamine therapy.
- Clinically Supervised: The treatment of Ketamine Therapy at Jagruti Rehab is done under the supervision of trained professionals.
How Does Ketamine Therapy Work?
Ketamine Therapy works in a unique way. It targets the glutamate system of the brain. Glutamate is a key neurotransmitter that affects specific brain functions. For example, mood regulation and neural connectivity. Ketamine restores synaptic or neural connections that affect the brain functions needed for emotional and mental well-being.
Mechanism of Action
Neuroplasticity: Ketamine increases new neural connections, enhancing the brain's adaptability.
Reduction in Negative Thought Patterns: It helps disrupt repetitive cycles of negative thinking.
Immediate Impact: Ketamine provides instant relief at critical times.
Ketamine Therapy Benefits
Ketamine Therapy can be very beneficial for people suffering from mental health challenges:
- It is especially effective in cases where there is resistance to treatment, generally seen in depression and anxiety.

Ketamine Therapy: What Is It & Who Can Benefit?
Ketamine Therapy is a treatment custom-structured for every patient by an expert based on the unique requirements and needs of every patient. It is an intravenous (IV) or intranasal medication administered under the supervision of medical professionals. Ketamine therapy can be beneficial for:
- Mental health conditions that have become resistant to treatment.
- Health conditions with chronic pain.
- Bipolar disorder, conditions with suicidal tendencies.
- Long-term depression and anxiety.
Ketamine Therapy Side Effects
Ketamine Therapy is administered in a controlled, supervised, and safe environment. While the treatment is mostly safe, some people may experience mild side effects, such as:
- Physical Side Effects: Nausea and dizziness can be felt by some patients.
- Emotional Side Effects: Some patients may feel lost or disassociated temporarily for a very short time.
- Rare Complications: In very rare cases, an increase in heart rate or blood pressure can't be noticed.
However, our experienced team at Jagruti Rehab monitors the patient through the treatment and even after it to ensure that the patient doesn't have any side effects. Also, if there are any, then they are given help, and the dosages are further monitored to ensure that the body doesn't react to ketamine therapy aggressively.
Integrating Ketamine Therapy into Holistic Care
Our team at Jagruti Rehab believe in providing quality care and overall well-being. With that in mind, the treatment plan for each patient is designed holistically after a thorough assessment. We use Ketamine Therapy to increase the effectiveness of treatment if needed by some patients. Also, we combine it with lifestyle changes for comprehensive healing of the mind and body.
Our Holistic Approach
- Psychotherapy Integration: Ketamine Therapy sessions are always combined with the primary treatment for the condition, generally in living talk therapy.
- Lifestyle Support: Ketamine Therapy and other therapies are complemented with guidance on nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness practices.
- Continued Care: We monitor the patients, track their progress, check for relapses, and involve patients in support groups to ensure long-lasting results and help.
