Being Human Group is excited to announce our partnership with Choose Your Horizon to offer Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. This innovative approach combines the transformative potential of ketamine with expert psychotherapy, providing new hope for those struggling with treatment-resistant mental health conditions.

Understanding Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is an emerging treatment showing remarkable promise in addressing various mental health challenges, particularly depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Our program harnesses ketamine's unique properties to create a window of enhanced neuroplasticity, allowing for profound healing and personal growth when combined with skilled psychotherapy.

How Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Works

In our program, ketamine is delivered directly to your home in the form of lozenges, allowing you to undergo treatment in a familiar, comfortable environment. The ketamine experience typically lasts 60-90 minutes, during which you may experience altered states of consciousness. Throughout this process, you'll have the support of our trained professionals via telehealth, helping you navigate your inner journey and process emerging emotions and insights.

The Benefits of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

  • Convenience and Comfort: Experience the therapeutic benefits of ketamine from the comfort of your own home.
  • Rapid Relief: Unlike traditional antidepressants that may take weeks to show effects, Ketamine-Assisted Therapy often produces noticeable improvements in mood and cognition within hours or days.
  • Enhanced Effectiveness: This approach has shown particular promise for individuals who haven't responded well to conventional treatments, offering a new avenue for healing.
  • Deeper Insights: The ketamine experience can facilitate profound self-reflection and personal growth, helping you gain new perspectives on your challenges.
  • Long-lasting Results: When combined with integration therapy, the benefits of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy can extend well beyond the immediate effects of the medication.

Our Partnership with Choose Your Horizon

Through our collaboration with Choose Your Horizon, we're able to offer this cutting-edge treatment in a way that prioritizes safety, comfort, and therapeutic support. Our team of experienced therapists works closely with Choose Your Horizon's ketamine specialists to ensure a seamless, integrated approach to your care. Your therapist and prescriber will work together to determine the best course of treatment for you. 

What to Expect from Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

  1. Initial Consultation: We'll assess your suitability for Ketamine-Assisted Therapy and discuss your treatment goals. If you’re a good fit for KAP then your therapist will refer you to Choose Your Horizon telehealth providers for your prescription.
  2. Preparation: You'll receive guidance on how to prepare for your ketamine sessions, including setting intentions and creating a supportive environment.
  3. Ketamine Delivery: Your prescribed ketamine lozenges will be delivered directly to your home, along with a journal and blood pressure monitor.
  4. Sessions: You'll self-administer the ketamine lozenges according to your personalized treatment plan, typically involving several sessions over a period of weeks.
  5. Telehealth Support: Throughout your ketamine experience, you'll have access to professional support via telehealth.
  6. Integration Therapy: Following each ketamine session, you'll work with a therapist to process your experience and integrate insights into your daily life.
  7. Ongoing Support: We provide continued therapeutic support to help you maintain and build upon the progress made during Ketamine-Assisted Therapy.

Is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Right for You?

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy may be particularly beneficial for individuals who:

  • Have not responded well to traditional treatments for depression, anxiety, or PTSD
  • Are seeking a more rapid intervention for acute mental health challenges
  • Are open to exploring innovative approaches to healing and personal growth
  • Prefer the comfort and convenience of receiving treatment at home

However, it's important to note that while Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is a powerful tool, it is not a cure-all. It works best as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes ongoing therapy and lifestyle changes.
