It’s fairly new and not well studied. That said, I have definitely heard of people opening these treatment centers in order to make a fast buck.

I’m an anesthesiologist; I handle these medications every day and I wouldn’t feel comfortable using ketamine for the purpose of detoxing someone without knowing a lot more than I already do. If you feel this could be helpful I’d look for one run by a psychiatrist with or without the addition of a pharmacologist or an anesthesiologist.

My point in this post is that an OB-Gyn has no business doing that without loads more training. An MD does not confer knowledge of everything. As we all recall, a board-certified cardiologist managed to kill Michael Jackson with propofol.

Im happy for you that you are on a recovery path and I hope you find things that help you along the way.
