About
Ketamine produces effects similar to a sensation of drifting away from reality. Individuals using the substance might encounter vivid visual patterns, a sense of being disoriented, and a feeling of detachment from their immediate surroundings. These surreal encounters often contribute to the allure of the substance, prompting some individuals to develop a dependence on it. Immediate repercussions of using ketamine can encompass temporary memory lapses, feelings of nausea, vomiting, confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, and an array of similar effects.
While ketamine is not associated with any well-documented long-term physical consequences, those ensnared by its addictive qualities will notice an escalating desire for it. Furthermore, the body’s ability to tolerate ketamine’s effects can lead to a situation where progressively larger amounts of the substance are needed to attain the desired outcomes, establishing a lasting pattern.
Treatment for Ketamine
Ketamine addiction stands out from other substances due to its primarily psychological effects rather than physical addictive nature. Some may develop an addiction to ketamine driven by a sense of confusion or curiosity.
The process of recovering from a ketamine addiction is typically moderate in intensity, unless the individual has an extensive history of substance abuse. In such cases, one can expect to face cravings for ketamine, a diminished appetite, persistent dizziness, drowsiness, and disruptions in sleep.
Commencing with either inpatient or outpatient treatment is advisable for addressing ketamine abuse. Those grappling with a prolonged addiction to the substance might discover greater success with an inpatient treatment approach.
