What Is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition characterized by disturbances that arise after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. These can include natural disasters, wartime combat, sexual assault, accidents, or childhood abuse. PTSD is a natural response to an unnatural or life-threatening event, where the individual’s ability to cope is overwhelmed.

People with PTSD may suffer from:

  • Flashbacks
  • Nightmares
  • Distressing thoughts about the event
  • Avoidance of reminders of the event, including places and people
  • Negative thinking and mood
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Angry outbursts

Ketamine Therapy for PTSD in Avoca, PA

Many patients with PTSD symptoms find relief through ketamine infusions here at The Good Drop in Avoca. If you’re experiencing PTSD from any kind of trauma, and antidepressants and talk therapy haven’t helped, we would love to see you.

Ketamine works by blocking the brain’s N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which can ultimately reduce the symptoms of PTSD. You may feel better after just one infusion! Spravato is a particularly effective form of ketamine for treating depression and could also be part of your PTSD therapy with us.

Ketamine for First Responders

We’re proud to offer ketamine infusions for veterans, military personnel, firefighters, EMS and frontline workers, police officers, and other first responders who experience trauma in their everyday lives.

We understand that conventional PTSD treatments may not be enough to heal the deep pains you feel. In those cases, ketamine treatment could be the solution.
