Ketamine Recovery Support

  • It may have started as treatment or curiosity. But now it feels out of control. You're not alone, and you're not broken.

At TruPaths, we recognize that ketamine is both a powerful medical treatment and a rising drug of misuse. For some, it’s prescribed for treatment-resistant depression or chronic pain. For others, it begins as a club drug or a way to disconnect from emotional pain.But when ketamine use becomes regular, isolating, or distressing it can cause serious physical, mental, and emotional harm.

This page is here to help you or your loved one understand the risks, signs of misuse, and find trusted, compassionate recovery programs. TruPaths doesn’t treat addiction but we help guide you to centers and specialists who do.

What Is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic used in medicine and increasingly in psychedelic-assisted therapy for mental health. Recreationally, it's often known as Special K, Vitamin K, or KitKat, and used for its out-of-body or numbing effects. But misuse can lead to:

Bladder damage (ketamine cystitis)

Cognitive issues, memory loss, or fog

Emotional numbing or disconnection

Frequent dissociation or derealization

"I was using it for depression... until I couldn't go a day without it. I felt like I was floating away from myself."
