What is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT)?
Ketamine has been used for over 50 years in medical settings and recently it has been used in the treatment of mental health diagnosis. Ketamine is both safe and legal when used under the supervision of a medical provider and has shown to be particularly effective for treatment resistant depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and addictions.
At Koru, our approach to ketamine-assisted therapy to provide a unique and effective approach to mental health treatment. Our guided therapy combines the use of the medicine (ketamine) with therapy to help you reduce symptoms more effectively and experience rapid results.
Common Conditions Treated
Ketamine is known to be particularly effective for treatment-resistant conditions, or conditions that haven't responded well to other treatments such as:
-
Addiction
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
-
Eating Disorders
-
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
-
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Traditional antidepressants and therapies have certainly helped millions worldwide. However, they also come with limitations, including delayed onset of effects, side effects, and in some cases, inadequate response. In contrast, ketamine offers a rapid onset of action and can be effective where other treatments have failed, making it a vital option for those seeking alternatives.
