Revolutionizing Treatment: Dr. Michael Steuer on Ketamine IV Therapy

The beauty of ketamine is that the results are so long-lasting.
What if relief from depression, addiction, and chronic pain could come faster than you ever imagined? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind chats with Dr. Michael Steuer from the Pacific Ketamine Institute. Dr. Steuer shares his journey from anesthesiology to becoming a pioneer in ketamine therapy for mental health and pain management.
With over five years of experience, he dives into how ketamine, once known for its hallucinogenic properties, is now making waves as a groundbreaking treatment option. You'll hear about the history of ketamine, its unique action in the brain, and how it stands out from traditional antidepressants and opioids. Unlike SSRIs and SNRIs that can take weeks to show effects, ketamine offers almost immediate relief with minimal side effects. Dr.
Steuer also paints a vivid picture of what patients can expect during ketamine IV therapy sessions—think comfort and relaxation rather than a clinical setting. Plus, he discusses ongoing research and future possibilities for this treatment. Whether you're grappling with 'treatment-resistant' depression or looking for safer alternatives to opioids, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Tune in to discover how ketamine could be a game-changer in mental health and pain management.
