Why Long Beach Residents Are Turning to Ketamine Therapy for Mental Health

In recent years, an increasing number of Long Beach residents have been seeking alternative treatments for mental health issues, with ketamine therapy emerging as a leading option. This innovative approach offers hope for those struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain, often when traditional treatments have failed. At the Renew Ketamine Infusion Clinic & Wellness Center, we understand the profound impact that mental health can have on quality of life and are dedicated to providing effective solutions.

Understanding Ketamine Therapy

Originally developed as an anesthetic, ketamine has gained attention for its rapid antidepressant effects. Unlike conventional antidepressants that can take weeks to months to show results, ketamine can alleviate symptoms within hours. This makes it particularly appealing for individuals who have not found relief through traditional medications or therapies.

How Does Ketamine Work?

Ketamine works by targeting glutamate, a neurotransmitter in the brain. By increasing glutamate levels, ketamine promotes neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. This process can help patients break free from negative thought patterns associated with mental health disorders, allowing for a fresh perspective on their struggles.

The Rise of Ketamine Therapy in Long Beach

The mental health landscape in Long Beach, like many other areas, has seen a significant shift. Residents are increasingly turning to ketamine therapy due to its unique benefits:

  • Rapid Relief: Many patients report feeling better within hours after their first treatment.
  • Targeting Treatment-Resistant Conditions: Ketamine is particularly effective for those who have not responded well to traditional medications.
  • Holistic Approach: Our clinic combines ketamine therapy with integrative psychotherapy, providing a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both the mind and body.

What Conditions Can Ketamine Therapy Treat?

We tailor our treatments to meet the specific needs of each patient. Ketamine therapy can be beneficial for a variety of conditions, including:

  • Depression: Especially treatment-resistant depression that has not responded to conventional therapies.
  • Anxiety: Ketamine can help rewire the brain, allowing patients to better manage anxiety triggers.
  • PTSD: Patients often experience significant relief from traumatic memories when undergoing ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
  • Chronic Pain: Conditions such as fibromyalgia and CRPS can find relief through ketamine therapy, combined with personalized pain management protocols.

OCD

Obsessive Compulsive disorder (OCD) is unfortunately resistant to many forms of medical treatment including both medication and therapy.

Ketamine has been shown to be an effective, fast acting, safe option for patients with OCD. Over the course of the Ketamine infusions (2-4 weeks) neuroplasticity can lead to a change or abatement in the intrusive, repetitive thoughts and behaviors that typify OCD.

When combined with our unique post infusion integration process, patients with severe OCD can see profound relief of their symptoms.

Chronic Pain

“There is extensive research currently being done on this topic. I can say from personal experience as a practicing Board Certified Pain Medicine Physician, I have had patients with chronic pain, including fibromyalgia, who have had significant relief of their symptoms with Ketamine assisted therapy. With that said, Ketamine assisted therapy will definitely not work for everyone with chronic pain, and each patient will require a thorough evaluation to ensure they are an adequate candidate for a trial of Ketamine assisted therapy for relief of their chronic pain” -Dr. Justin Yanuck.

The current evidence of Ketamine assisted therapy for chronic pain is fairly mixed. The majority of studies only looked at ketamine infusion without any assisted psychotherapy.

Ketamine has the ability to lead to relief on its own (and the mechanisms for this have been well studied). We feel quite strongly that the real potential for Ketamine to provide relief, especially for chronic pain patients, is when combined with psychotherapy. Psychotherapy allows the individual to process their experience and build off this experience to lead to new psychological frameworks for processing both internal and external stimuli.

Pain is complex, and Ketamine assisted psychotherapy is not one-size-fits-all. Our treatment plan gives patients with treatment-resistant chronic pain and even opiate dependance a chance to try a different and effective treatment.

PTSD

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a major public health concern, affecting up to 7% of Americans.

As many as half of all Americans with PTSD get inadequate relief from traditional treatments which include antidepressants, antipsychotics, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Ketamine combined with psychotherapy has been shown to be very effective at reducing the symptoms of PTSD. These effects last well beyond its near immediate relief.

Many mechanistic actions for how Ketamine works in PTSD have been proposed.

Ketamine allows people to reacquaint themselves with their past inciting trauma from an emotionally neutral perspective. Ketamine will not make you forget about the trauma. It can allow you to acknowledge its occurrence in a neutral way in order to not be continually re-traumatized by thinking about it.

Depending on the patient, outcomes can be noticed almost immediately with a sense of lightness and joy. Ketamine followed by psychotherapy has been shown to lead to significant relief of the burdens of PTSD.

Anxiety

Traditional treatments for anxiety will often either work poorly, have addictive properties, or severe side effects including brain fog and drowsiness. Furthermore, these treatments tend to have reduced efficacy over time, and lead to only transient relief of symptoms.

Ketamine, when combined with our novel integrative psychotherapy, can lead to significant relief of anxiety.

During the ketamine infusion and integration process, patients will often get a better understanding of their anxiety, and are able to reframe many of the triggers that often provoke their anxiety.

Ketamine has properties that allow for rewiring of the brain (new synapse formation and repair of existing synapses). Ketamine allows people to effect changes into their own lives. It shows people that they have the power to heal from within and take control of their relationship with anxiety.

Depression

Ketamine has been shown to be extremely effective and safe for patients with depression and treatment resistant depression (those who fail to get relief from two or more antidepressants).

Ketamine is highly effective at rapidly (within 2-8 hours) reducing depressive symptoms. Traditional antidepressants often take weeks to months to work.

Many traditional antidepressants have side effects including reduced libido, weight gain, GI upset, mood disturbances, and unfortunately require daily use for months to years.

Many antidepressants, even if they do work, require you to be on them for years, if not for the rest of your life.

Ketamine treatment has been shown in most patients to lead to resolution of symptoms without the need for any further medications.

Ketamine is not a medication meant to be taken for the rest of your life. The goal is to provide sustained relief after the completion of a set treatment plan. This is accomplished by combining the actions of Ketamine in the brain with psychotherapy. Additional enhancement sessions available as needed.

Unfortunately, there is a significant subset of patients that do not get significant relief from traditional cognitive behavioral therapy. Ketamine acts as a catalyst to stimulate a patient’s innate capacity for psychological healing. This allows patients to overcome past experiences and learned behavior to truly heal. Ketamine, combined with therapists who are specifically trained to work with psychedelic therapies, can lead to profound breakthroughs and deep psychological healing.
