Searching for treatment options for PTSD? At Evansville Ketamine Center, we offer ketamine for PTSD, a treatment which has shown remarkable results where other treatments have failed. Ketamine infusion therapy has been found to relieve the symptoms of PTSD—in some cases—within hours, rather than the typical weeks or months required of most commonly-prescribed medications. While every patient responds differently, an average of 75% of PTSD patients find relief through ketamine infusions.

How Does Ketamine Work to Treat PTSD?
Ketamine works by targeting the brain’s glutamate system, helping to restore neural connections that may be damaged due to trauma. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to become effective, ketamine has been shown to produce rapid relief from PTSD symptoms by promoting neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire itself.
This process helps reduce intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and emotional numbness while improving overall mood and resilience. Additionally, ketamine influences the brain’s default mode network (DMN), potentially disrupting negative thought patterns and allowing patients to process traumatic memories in a healthier way.
