Living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be very hard. People with PTSD may have scary dreams, flashbacks, or feel nervous all the time. Standard medicine and talk therapy can help, but they do not always work fast.
Ketamine treatment gives many people new hope. But one big question is: How long do the effects of ketamine PTSD treatment last?
Below, we will explain what ketamine does, how long it can help, and what treatment looks like at Mind Glamour PLLC.
What Is Ketamine Treatment?
Ketamine is a medicine doctors have used in hospitals for many years. At lower doses, it can be beneficial for various mental health challenges.
The best part is that ketamine often works fast. Some people start to feel better in hours instead of weeks.
At Mind Glamour PLLC, ketamine treatment is given in a safe and caring space. Dr. “Swae” Harris and her team guide each step.
How Ketamine Helps with PTSD
PTSD changes how the brain reacts to fear and memories. People may feel stuck in the pain of the past.
Ketamine works in a different way than other medicines. It helps the brain make new connections. This is called neuroplasticity. It means the brain can learn new, healthier patterns.
Ketamine can:
- Calm, scary thoughts and flashbacks
- Lower feelings of fear
- Help with sleep
- Make therapy work better
How Long Do the Effects of Ketamine PTSD Treatment Last?
The answer is not the same for everyone.
After the First Treatment
Many people feel relief within a few hours. This may last for a few days or up to one week.
After a Full Treatment
Most people need a set of treatments, not just one. A common plan is 6–8 sessions in 2–3 weeks. After this, the effects may last for weeks or even months.
Maintenance Treatments
Because PTSD can last a long time, some people need “booster” treatments. Depending on the person’s feelings, these may be every few weeks or months.
At Mind Glamour PLLC, our care team makes a plan that fits each person’s needs.
Why Does It Last Different Times for People?
Each person’s brain and story are unique. The effects of ketamine can change based on:
- How severe the PTSD is
- How the brain responds to treatment
- If there are other issues like anxiety or depression
- How much support the person has after treatment
This is why personalized treatment at Mind Glamour PLLC is so essential. We learn about each patient’s history and needs before building a plan.
Why Follow-Up Care Matters
Ketamine can give relief, but it is not the complete answer alone. Healing also needs support after treatment.
Follow-up care may include:
- Talking with a therapist
- Telepsychiatry visits from home
- Healthy habits like sleep, exercise, and good food
- Regular check-ins with the care team
At Mind Glamour PLLC, follow-up care is central. Our team offers help at every step.
Signs That a Booster Treatment May Be Needed
Patients may notice their PTSD symptoms creeping back over time. Signs can include:
- Returning nightmares or flashbacks
- Feeling jumpy or on edge again
- Trouble sleeping
- Sudden return of anxiety or sadness
When this happens, a booster ketamine treatment can help restore balance and bring relief again. The schedule for boosters is different for everyone. Some may need them every month, while others may go several months before needing another session.
