Ketamine Addiction Intervention
Ketamine interventions — when 'wellness' becomes dependence
Ketamine has gone from underground party drug to therapeutic tool — and back to a substance of abuse. We help families intervene when recreational or self-administered ketamine use becomes a dependency.
Recognise the Signs
Is it time for a ketamine intervention?
Ketamine addiction can hide behind legitimate-sounding mental health language. The line between therapeutic use and compulsive self-medication is often blurred by the user. These signs indicate the situation has crossed into dependence.

- Using ketamine to self-medicate depression, anxiety, or trauma
- Rapid escalation from occasional recreational use to daily dependence
- Financial problems or secrecy around 'therapy' or 'wellness' purchases
- Memory issues, confusion, or cognitive fog that persists between uses
- Withdrawal from social activities and responsibilities
- Defensiveness when questioned about ketamine use or 'microdosing'
- Physical decline — bladder issues, weight changes, or frequent illness
What We Do
What a professional ketamine intervention actually looks like
Ketamine addiction can hide behind legitimate-sounding mental health language ('I'm self-medicating my depression'). Our interventionists separate genuine therapeutic need from compulsive use and place loved ones in programmes that treat both the substance and any underlying mental health conditions.
We work with treatment centres that understand the unique profile of ketamine dependence — the dissociative effects, the potential for bladder damage, and the often co-occurring depression or trauma that drove the use in the first place.
