Ketamine Therapy for Substance Use Disorder (Addiction Treatment)

Support, Recovery, and Reclaiming Control

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a chronic condition in which a person compulsively uses alcohol, prescription medications, or illicit drugs, despite negative consequences to health, relationships, or daily functioning. SUD impacts brain chemistry and alters areas of the brain responsible for reward, motivation, and decision-making.

Symptoms of Substance Use Disorder

Common signs include:

• Strong cravings or urges to use substances
• Inability to reduce or control use despite negative consequences
• Neglect of responsibilities at work, school, or home
• Withdrawal symptoms when not using the substance
• Continued use despite physical, mental, or social harm

Causes of Substance Use Disorder

SUD can develop due to multiple factors:

• Genetic vulnerability – family history of substance use increases risk
• Environmental influences – trauma, stress, or exposure to substance use
• Mental health conditions – co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD
• Brain chemistry changes – repeated substance use alters reward and stress pathways

How Ketamine Can Help
