Ketamine Effects

Ketamine effects take two different forms: physical and mental ketamine effects. Ketamine effects are most detrimental to the mental aspect of the user. Ketamine effects are devastating. At the same time the ketamine effects are destructive they are also seductive. People enjoy the drug for the same reasons that it is affecting them negatively. Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic. This means that the drug allows them to disassociate themselves from their own consciousness. This is what is known as the near death feeling. The slang term for the near death feeling is "k-hole". This is the desired ketamine effect.

Of all the ketamine effects the most sought after is this feeling of disassociation. With the acquisition of this feeling come many consequences. If the user continues use to the point of a k-hole they can begin to do irreparable damage. The perforation in their consciousness can become permanent. This then creates a neurosis that is inescapable. This leads to periodic episodes of complete consciousness perforation. If this continues the person can become insane beyond psychological assistance.

The more mild ketamine effects are the heart rate increases along with a slight euphoric feeling. This feeling of euphoria can be deceiving. For when something is truly wrong the user may not know it. If their body is being affected in a fatal way the euphoria will not draw their attention to the problem. This can lead to more use and sometimes to the point of death.

The physical ketamine effects are mild compared to the mental ketamine effects. PCP, ketamine, and alcohol all belong to a class of drugs that prevent brain cells from picking up glutamate, a chemical messenger that cells use to communicate with each other.* A person can become psychologically addicted to ketamine without even realizing it. Their thoughts become consumed with getting more and using more of the drug.

Once the user has entered into the stage of addiction there becomes a major problem. There is hope. We at Spencer Recovery Centers have been treating ketamine addiction patients for years. We have a trained staff ready to proceed in caring for all detrimental ketamine effects.

If the person is unwilling to receive ketamine treatment there is still hope. One of the strongest ketamine effects is the obsession that has taken hold of the users mental abilities. Everything they think of is in relation to ketamine. Their lives become consumed with the thought of being high, and how to receive more of the ketamine in order to become high again. It is an endless cycle that can result in death.

The goal is to not let the ketamine effects take over the persons desire to get and stay sober. Our facilities are ready to help detox and treat the patient in need.

Ketamine can be fatal. But even worse, it can cause a person to lose touch with reality in a way that can never be repaired. The tear in their fabric of consciousness can be repaired if its not to late. Call us now. Our well-trained staff are waiting by the phone to help you.
