Ketamine Addiction Treatment Centre at Ankur Rehab Centre
Although not as commonly acknowledged as heroin, cocaine, or prescription drug addiction, ketamine addiction is prevalent among club or party-goers. Its mind-altering and hallucinogenic effects make it appealing to many. With the surge in ketamine usage, there is a growing demand for effective ketamine addiction treatments in India.
Both inpatient and outpatient addiction treatments are available for ketamine addiction, with the appropriate recommendation depending on the severity of the addiction.
Outpatient addiction treatment is generally suggested for individuals who can maintain a stable lifestyle while attending counseling sessions as part of their treatment.
Conversely, for severe ketamine addictions or for those able to temporarily step away from work and family commitments, residential or inpatient treatment is highly recommended.
While ketamine is commonly used for aesthetic purposes in hospitals, prolonged use can lead to serious health issues, including:
Ketamine addiction
Depression
Delirium
Impaired motor function
Memory loss
High blood pressure

Given that ketamine is prevalent in the club drug scene, it’s crucial to understand that mixing it with alcohol, meth, ecstasy, or heroin can lead to dangerous combinations and effects. Excessive doses may result in severe health issues or even cardiac arrest.
