Unraveling the Knots: Debunking Common Apprehensions About Launching a Ketamine Clinic
It's no secret that the medical world is brimming with misconceptions and apprehensions about ketamine therapy. The fear often stems from the potential adverse effects of chronic usage, primarily studied in individuals who have abused the substance. However, let's not forget that the dosage and frequency of ketamine used in abuse scenarios are significantly higher than what's administered in a professional ketamine clinic.
Understanding the Risks and Mitigating Them
The higher the dose and frequency of ketamine, the greater the risk of adverse effects such as interstitial cystitis or addiction. However, these risks can be mitigated by controlling the dosage and frequency of administration.
IV ketamine therapy, with its 100% bioavailability, offers the best chance of using the least amount of ketamine while achieving the desired therapeutic effect. By providing ketamine treatment in a clinical setting only and not prescribing intranasal ketamine for self-administration, we limit frequency and reduce the chance of addiction.
Backing it Up with Science
A recent study on the Safety of Repeated Administration of Parenteral Ketamine for Depression concluded that six or more repeated ketamine treatments administered to individuals for depression were reasonably safe and had a low rate of adverse effects.
Another study conducted at the Yale Psychiatric Hospital found that long-term treatment of ketamine infusions in patients with depression had no long-term adverse effects.
Turning Skepticism into Confidence
Despite the skepticism surrounding ketamine infusions, it's important to remember that the medical field is gradually accepting ketamine as a viable treatment for depression and mood disorders.
With the backing of multiple scientific studies, there's no need to be concerned about the demand for ketamine treatments. It's only a matter of time before insurance companies start covering this treatment, and the demand for ketamine clinics will rise to meet the growing need.
