Ketamine is a dissociative drug first used to treat soldiers on the front lines in Vietnam. In high doses, it is effective as an anesthesia for short-term surgery and stitches. It is routinely used in the ER and by paramedics. Over the years a nice side effect was found in the area of mental health.
Ketamine Treatment works by targeting specific receptors in the brain (NMDA receptors) to allow the development of new thought patterns or to be more specific, enhance the neuroplasticity of the brain. This helps your brain learn, adapt, and break free from “stuck” patterns of mood, thought, and behavior.
What conditions can ketamine treat?
Studies show that ketamine can be effective in treating mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, addiction, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and PTSD. Some people have stated ketamine treatment also aids in psychological and spiritual exploration to assist in gaining a broader perspective on life and spirituality.
At Beecon Recovery, we believe that ketamine is best utilized with psychotherapy in a model called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). This approach takes advantage of amphetamine’s ability to promote deeper states of self-awareness and accelerates its healing potential. In KAP treatments, patients work with a therapist to better prepare for and understand the insights that typically arise during ketamine sessions. Follow-up sessions at Beecon help you make sense of what you learn in ketamine treatment sessions and apply these insights to make positive and lasting changes in your life.
Is ketamine safe?
Yes. Ketamine is widely used as an anesthetic agent in medical practice, both in the US and around the world. It is regarded as extremely safe with minimal risks of cardiac issues or respiratory depression. Furthermore, the doses of ketamine provided during treatments at Beecon Recovery are far below the levels used safely for anesthetic purposes. Here at Beecon, we start with a very low dose (50 mg) in a troche, (sublingual tablet made by infusing ketamine with coconut oil), and 125 mg is the highest dose used. Here at Beecon Recovery we only administer Ketamine with a medical professional present on-site and with a therapist.
Here at Beecon Recovery, we strive to give our clients the best possible treatment outcomes. Contact us to learn more about our ketamine therapy services.
In the dosages and frequency of administration, we utilize for treatments at
Beecon Recovery, ketamine does not pose any addiction concerns. We carefully monitor all patients for tolerance and continually assess responses to treatment to optimize the benefits of ketamine.
How quickly does ketamine work?
Ketamine’s rapid response rate is one of its most significant advantages over SSRIs and other mental health treatment approaches. People will often notice benefits in a matter of hours, as opposed to weeks or months for other pharmacological treatments. Studies show that ketamine can facilitate the acute reduction of depression, suicidality, and anxiety symptoms in patients within a day or two of treatment. Ketamine does not interfere with SSRIs and with a medical professional can minimize the use of SSRIs.
What can I expect when starting Ketamine treatment at Beecon Recovery?
Before you can begin ketamine treatment, you must first meet with one of our medical providers for an intake appointment. During this visit, you will explore the issues you are struggling with and evaluate your medical and psychological history to ensure you are a good fit for it. Ketamine is not for everyone.
If approved you and your therapist will review how ketamine works and what to expect. We have a specific protocol that is used that begins with a 50 mg dose weekly with a therapist and is increased as needed per Beecon Recovery protocol. After several weeks, or months as indicated Ketamine is then tapered off.
I never had the support and dedication that beacon gives me! They've helped me become 6 months sober. And they make me want to come,and they help me also be excited to come! It's a very motivating treatment place.
This place is AMAZING!!!! They make your treatment personal for you. The staff is awesome and they treat you like family.
Beecon has been amazing to me and very helpful in my recovery process everyone here is more than gracious with all of my needs and I can say I will be walking away with newly made friends clients and therapists both.
Words do not do justice with the love and compassion the staff at Beecon Recovery have shown myself and fellow addicts. The time dedicated to each one of us along with the passion they all have for sobriety and the well being of their patients, is beyond selfless. They actually care and invest themselves into each one of us every single day, no matter what. For addicts, like myself, I couldn't of walked into another facility and felt the overwhelming calmness and the feeling of a place where I was meant to be and of belonging. I've got the opportunity to get my life back in a transitional outpatient program that offers many different techniques of healing and therapy. I thank God everyday for the opportunity to work with each of the staff members to increase my abilities to live a sober and productive life.
Beecon Recovery is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend. Not only does their program work but it is incredible and their staff is absolutely fantastic. They actually care about each and every one of their clients and each clients program is personalized to every one of them, you're not just a number! They offer Neuro feedback which is super interesting and highly effective and no other treatment program does this! You aren't just assigned one therapist but you get 4! There's also hypnotherapy which I personally find super effective and highly recommend! Beecon is all around a unique experience and a one of a kind program! Would recommend to anyone who has addiction issues and is seeking help!
Beecon recovery is a great recovery option that provides a wide array of services to help with mental health and substance abuse disorder treatment
Beecon is a one of kind outpatient treatment program that I would recommend for anyone who is ready to change their lives
Beecon takes care of their clients on an individual basis. They take a bit longer to complete than other rehabilitation centers because they are dedicated to getting their patients clean and keeping them clean. Some of the staff and patients clash in personality but they are open to feedback and work with patients in a unique way that no other rehab clinic does. They offer ketamine therapy, epigenetic testing, hypnotherapy, group therapy, peer support, CBT, and other forms of one on one therapy. Clients going through withdrawals are worked with heavily and given the time they need to overcome their suffering so long as doctors can verify that is truely the case. I would reccomend them to people who truely want to get clean as they truely take time to make sure their clients get well and stay well even helping them with employment and lifestyle changes upon completion. The only instance I would not recommend beecon is for those who aren't looking for true sobriety and just want a short program to complete for legal reasons.
My decision to get help came the most important part in my life .I looked up beecon and met them felt right .my mental health has been hurting.they work with me everyday on my needs and the staff is very helpful and caring. I would recommend them for those struggling And ready to get through the additions.
I think everyone here does a fantastic job! My favorite thing is how helpful and willing everyone is. They have done so much to help get my whole list of things and tasks that I needed to complete, done. They have helped with my stress levels so much. The staff are all so caring and willing to help with anything I need.

This is my first week working here as Peer Support. The staff is amazing and so helpful with training. I love the staff and clients already, and look forward to working here and contributing to recovery.
I’ve been talking to a client that goes to this Beecon Recovery - she has been telling me about how the staff there is very knowledgeable about addiction and the recovery process - how they are really caring and how they totally get where she is coming from - how they are teaching her different ways to deal with her cravings, her anxiety, depression and what not other than going back to her drug of choice - I guess they work on these different packets that challenges her to look at her life in a different perspective that encourages her to grow - the program is helping her to face her past and understand her addiction - she was also telling me about how they offer what’s called Sober Living so u have a safe place to live while getting treatment - how they are willing to help you get food, housing, Insurance, etc. I just want to reach out to those who are struggling with addiction to PLEASE go to the Beecon Recovery which is in the basement of the old King’s Building on Main Street and talk to them about it whatever additions you are suffering from…..

Knowing the pain addiction has caused not only me but my loved ones only makes me want to help others fight and overcome there addictions. Sobriety is possible, happiness is possible!
I love working at Beecon with a phenomenal professional team where I get to witness lasting transformation daily. I get to use my skills as an RN-Certified Hypnotherapist and watch lives change daily.
I came into Beecon wanting to improve my life and heal from addictions. Tony and staff are so GREAT and supportive.the energy here is uplifting I never want to leave.
I have been in recovery at Beecon for just over a month. I am so grateful for Beecon and all of the staff and other clients here. To me, Beecon is more than just a treatment center.. we are like a family here. A big thanks to Tony for starting Beecon Recovery and making it something to look forward to each and every day!
Beecon Recovery has helped me to completely change my life around. Not only has it helped with my drug addiction, it's helped with my mental side as well. It's been a real life changer for me and my kids couldn't be happier that I am back in their lives. Thank you to Beecon Recovery for everything you have done and continue to do to help me out!
Very helpful services at Beecon recovery. Alot better approach there. I went into there in a really bad state in my life and I am doing alot better because of Tony and staff. The services he offers are very different than other treatment centers. He really cares about helping people.
If you are looking for a safe place to understand why you are the way you are and get better, this is your stop. Tony and staff are working from open to close and beyond to provide the best for each and every person, not just as an addict or someone with severe mental health issues, but their own family. Traditional therapy/counseling, just medication, etc didnt work for me so I had to find a different option. Here you will find those different options. From NFT (Nuero Feedback Therapy) to epigenitics testing and more, you surely will find something that you most likley haven't tried or even heard of. Give them a ring to start or even restart your journey to getting healthy and clean.
Amazing place, very beneficial for those in need!! Immediate results, and super friendly.
I've been an addict my whole life and tried all different kinds of treatments. And Beecon Recovery is the only place that has helped me. The only place that actually understands addiction. Beecon Recovery saved my life. Thank you everyone at Beecon Recovery.
Tony really cares about helping people. And at Beecon Recovery they treat you for what YOU need. They know what they are doing. I Highly recommend them.
I received an epigenetics test and zyto scan from Beecon. The information that I received from these tests were fascinating and is helping me with my health and nutrition. I was very impressed with the knowledgeable staff and their kindness.
Beecon recovery has been a blessing to me. I was a complete mess when i went in. With the help of tony and great staff i am so much better now. I feel so grateful and fortunate.Thank you so much!
