Ketamine Rehab
At Abbington House, our goal is to help people overcome their unhealthy ketamine use and show them there is a life beyond addiction. Many of our staff have experienced addiction and recovery and are proof that holistic recovery works. Call us today to take that first step.
Getting Help for Ketamine Abuse & Addiction
If you’re struggling with ketamine addiction, you may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained and isolated, especially if you’ve been hiding your problem from those around you. Whether you’re using ketamine recreationally or you find yourself taking it to help you cope with life’s challenges, dependence on this drug can take a toll on your mental, emotional and physical health.
We believe in holistic recovery, which means our treatment approach is designed to treat the whole person – not just the symptoms of addiction. While managing the psychological ketamine withdrawal symptoms is essential, recovery can only be maintained once the underlying issues have been addressed.
If you’re searching for ketamine addiction treatment options or you’re trying to get help for a loved one, we can help. Looking for solutions can feel extremely overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. Whatever your circumstances, contact us today, and we’ll help you find recovery from ketamine addiction.

What is Ketamine, and Why is it So Addictive?
Ketamine is a dissociative anaesthetic originally developed for medical and veterinary purposes. However, its hallucinogenic effects have led to ketamine becoming a widespread recreational drug. Over time, repeated ketamine misuse can lead to psychological dependence, making it difficult to quit.
The Effects of Ketamine Abuse:
- Cognitive impairment: Memory loss, confusion, and difficulty concentrating
- Emotional numbness: Feeling detached from reality and relationships
- Increased tolerance: Needing higher doses to feel the same effects
- Ketamine bladder syndrome: A painful and often irreversible condition
- Mental health decline: Anxiety, depression and paranoia
If you are experiencing these symptoms, seeking treatment can prevent long-term damage and help you regain control of your life.
What Does Ketamine Treatment Involve?
At Abbington House, we provide a structured programme designed to treat all aspects of addiction, from physical symptoms to emotional well-being. Our programme is built around you, and therapies are tailored to align with your journey. Although each client’s treatment plan will vary, treatment follows this simple structure:
1. Medically Supervised Detox
Ketamine withdrawal can be mentally and physically challenging, often causing cravings, anxiety, mood swings, and cognitive fog. Our detox programme provides:
24/7 medical supervision to ensure safety
Medication-assisted treatment (if needed) for symptom relief
Nutritional and holistic support to aid the body’s recovery
2. Psychological Therapy and Emotional Healing
Overcoming addiction is not just about abstinence; it’s about addressing the root causes of substance use. Our therapeutic interventions are designed to help our clients understand their addiction, develop coping strategies, and rebuild confidence.
Some of the traditional therapies we offer include:
