"Steamboat practitioners introduce innovative Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy"
Two practitioners in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, are offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as a treatment option for patients struggling with mental health trauma. The therapy involves pairing the medication with intensive psychotherapy to help individuals safely explore painful emotions and memories. The treatment can be administered through various methods, including shots, pills, IV, or nasal spray. The practitioners aim to make the therapy accessible and affordable, as it is generally not covered by insurance plans. Patients must be physically healthy adults who have not found relief through other mental health treatments. The therapy has shown promising results for patients, helping them overcome anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.
