"Since my treatments I've had no cravings for alcohol and feel overall so much more calm and motivated.”

I've been struggling with an addiction to alcohol for several years, off and on, but mostly ON! I was 'diagnosed' with anxiety and depression, but I believe those may be the result of my drinking. I discovered Ketamine therapy and found some evidence that it could work for addictions. I was nervous going in, but knew I had nothing to lose. First, Dr. Self is a very knowledgeable, kind, warm, genuine good person, as are the other staff. We talked for a bit, I knew exactly how the treatment would go in terms of process. What I had no idea of is how AWESOME it was!! I felt like I was out heading to Mars, in a shiny sequenced outfit! I listened to "Rocket Man" by Elton John, and it was the happiest/most joyful I've ever felt in my life!! It is so hard to describe, but it really blew me away. 
Since my treatments I've had no cravings for alcohol (why would I when I have experienced real joy, and its not in a bottle!) and feel overall so much more calm and motivated.

“For the first time in years there were periods of normalcy in his life where he could once again find some enjoyme.”

I have a relative that has suffered with anxiety and depression for decades. He has had minimal improvement despite a myriad of medications and therapies; in some cases worsened by the side effects. His last hope was a trial of Ketamine. Dr. Self is a professional in every sense of the word; very knowledgeable, compassionate, accommodating and patient. He genuinely wants to help people. As an RN I had a lot of questions as did the rest of my family. By the end of our initial visit I was completely comfortable with no reservations in proceeding with the treatments. The results were impressive. For the first time in years there were periods of normalcy in his life where he could once again find some enjoyment. I would definitely recommend this therapy and more importantly the expertise of Dr. Self and the Life is Ketaful clinic.

FAQ's

Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that is an alternative treatment for refractory depression, chronic pain syndromes, post-traumatic stress disorder and many other conditions with outstanding results. This new therapy can provide effective and long last relief from many symptoms including depression and chronic pain.

The short answer is no. Although a robust wealth of publications have established ketamine’s safety and efficacy in treating major depressive disorders, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders and suicide ideation. The issue lies in financial cost required to fund very large controlled studies generally required by the FDA to get approval for any psychiatric drug. Ketamine is a generic drug, no pharmaceutical company will invest significant funds on such research. Here and many places around the country ketamine is being used “off label” prescribed by a physician.

Yes, ketamine infusions for depression are outpatient procedures requiring no hospital admission
