Ketamine Infusion Therapy for Addiction in the Greater Milwaukee Area
R and R MD utilizes ketamine infusion therapy to treat the most aggressive cases of addiction.
Ketamine is highly effective for addiction recovery and combating substance dependence. Multiple studies have shown ketamine to be a better alternative than traditional medicine for patients experiencing internal treatment resistance. Ketamine also avoids some of the typical side effects experienced by certain medications. It is thought that ketamine can enhance neuroplasticity, meaning it can re-wire your brain and change how it deals with cravings, drug-related memories, motivation to quit a drug, and certain behaviors.
Reset Restore offers ketamine treatment for addiction at our 2 Milwaukee area clinic locations in Mequon and Brookfield, Wisconsin.
Treating Addiction with Ketamine
Ketamine infusion therapy has been shown to effectively prolong abstinence for struggling addicts who have detoxified from substances such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin and more. During a clinical trial, cocaine addicts and alcoholics had a better outcome when prescribed ketamine alongside therapy, as opposed to those who only completed therapy. The research concluded that ketamine lowered the chances of restarting or relapsing into addiction.
Types of Addiction
Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction, also known as alcoholism, is a chronic condition characterized by a person's inability to control their drinking habits. Alcohol addiction is considered a disease and can have serious physical, psychological and social consequences. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines heavy alcohol use as more than 4 drinks on any day or more than 14 drinks per week for men and 3 drinks on any day or more than 7 drinks per week for women. Alcohol addiction can be considered mild, moderate, or severe depending on the number of symptoms you experience
Alcohol Addiction Symptoms
- Feeling a strong craving or urge to drink alcohol
- Wanting to cut down on how much you drink or making unsuccessful attempts to do so
- Being unable to limit the amount of alcohol you drink
- Work performance suffering due to repeated alcohol use
- Negative impact on family or personal relationships due to drinking
- Giving up or reducing social and work activities and hobbies to use alcohol.
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms - such as nausea, sweating, rapid heartbeat, tremors, difficulty sleeping, restlessness and agitation, anxiety, hallucinations and even include seizures.
Alcohol addiction is a serious and prevalent condition that affects millions of Americans. According to The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 28.6 million American Adults, roughly 1 in 10, would be considered to have Alcohol Use Disorder. About 5% of patients experiencing alcohol withdrawal symptoms will progress to a potentially life-threatening condition called delirium tremens. If you are experiencing symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, please seek immediate medical evaluation.
Drug Addiction
Drug Addiction, also known as substance use disorder, is a chronic condition characterized by the compulsive use of illegal drugs. Cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, barbiturates, marijuana, LSD, mushrooms and DMT are examples of the most common drug addictions in the US. Individuals with drug addiction experience intense cravings for drugs and may experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop using the drug, including nausea, vomiting, sweating and anxiety.
Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription Drug Addiction refers to the compulsive and prolonged use of prescription medications in a way that is not intended by a doctor or health professional. Prescription drug addiction occurs when individuals misuse, abuse or become dependent on prescription drugs typically used to treat medical conditions. Prescription drug addiction can involve several classes of drugs, including opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, sedatives and other drugs that affect the central nervous system.
Oxycodone (OxyContin), hydrocodone (Vicodin), codeine, alprazolam (Xanax), lorazepam (Ativan), diazepam (Valium), methylphenidate (Ritalin), amphetamines (Adderall), zolpidem (Ambien) and eszopiclone (Lunesta) are the most common prescriptions drugs abused in the US.
The symptoms of prescription drug addiction vary depending on the drug class, however, can lead to life-threatening conditions and even death.
Real Feelings. Real Reviews.
"Reset Restore has been a haven as well as an invaluable resource for severe depression, anxiety, trauma, and a myriad of other mental and emotional challenges. The comfort of both facilities (Brookfield and Mequon) pale in comparison with the comfort, empathy, and kindness of the professionals that guild one through the treatments. The treatment itself is an experience that I wish that I could live within. Your thoughts are always there with you, except they are gentle, rational, but with a fresh and kind perspective. The person that treats us the most horribly is more times than not - ourselves. This a break from that, and a new path to run at issues. Mental health treatments have always be intimidating, unsettling, and disappointing for me. NOT HERE. Reset Restore is completely unlike anything that I have experienced before. Like any treatment, it is a collaborative process. Natalie has made this process and event that I truly look forward to. She cares that I improve. It is a comfort to find a supportive solution that is not a drawn out commitment, and also a comfort that after my series of treatments come to an end — I will have a team of compassionate professionals to turn to if and when I need help again. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
