Ketamine, originally an anaesthetic, now known as a party drug with mild hallucinogenic effects, is seeing a worrying resurgence with ever-increasing recreational abuse statistics, especially among individuals ages 15 to 25. Ketamine, also known by street names like Ket, Bump, and Green, can cause cognitive impairments and severe bladder issues and is associated with various mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety.
One of the main challenges in the world of ketamine addiction treatment lies in the fact that many of its users are so young. Ignorance of its long-term harm, stigma and uncertainty about rehab, and worries about the financial implications of residential rehab treatment all contribute to a delay in seeking treatment, compounding the physical and psychological harm of untreated ketamine misuse.
