Ketamine Therapy for Addiction Treatment in Fort Lauderdale
Still Stuck? Break Free From Treatment-Resistant Addiction
When nothing lifts the weight. When traditional rehab, therapy, and medication haven't worked. When you've done the work—and still feel stuck.
Physician-supervised ketamine therapy at One Mind offers a different path forward. We work with your brain's natural healing processes to interrupt destructive patterns and create lasting change.
How Ketamine Transforms Addiction Recovery
Addiction rewires your brain's reward pathways. Traditional treatments often address symptoms without targeting these deep neurological changes.
Ketamine works differently. It temporarily blocks NMDA receptors—the same receptors disrupted by chronic alcohol and drug use. This creates a unique window of neuroplasticity where your brain can form new, healthier connections.
The result: Reduced cravings, interrupted compulsive patterns, and enhanced capacity for change.
Unlike substitution therapies or craving-blocking medications, ketamine helps restore balance to your brain's glutamate system—the foundation for learning, memory, and decision-making.
The One Mind Difference?
Physician-Led Excellence
Every session is supervised by our Co-Medical Directors, Dr. Matt Graca and Dr. Jacob Topfer—both board-certified anesthesiologists with advanced fellowship training in pain management and extensive experience in addiction medicine.
IV Precision, Not Shortcuts
We use only intravenous ketamine administration for precise dosing and optimal safety monitoring. No at-home treatments. No lozenges. No unpredictable absorption.
Private, Discreet Environment
Serene treatment rooms designed for healing, not hurry. Your privacy and comfort are paramount—we understand the stigma around addiction treatment.
Integrated, Never Competitive
We enhance your existing care team rather than replacing it. Seamless coordination with your addiction counselors, psychiatrists, and support systems.
Clinical Evidence and Outcomes
Ketamine-assisted addiction treatment is supported by growing clinical research:
Alcohol Use Disorder:
Studies demonstrate 66% abstinence rates at one year with ketamine treatment versus 24% with standard care alone, with benefits lasting up to two years.
Cocaine Use Disorder:
Research shows ketamine reduced continued cocaine use to 55.5% compared to 92.9% in control groups—representing a 67% reduction in use patterns.
Opioid Use Disorder:
Clinical trials indicate improved abstinence rates, with multiple ketamine sessions showing superior outcomes compared to single treatments.
Enhanced Neuroplasticity:
Ketamine's unique mechanism creates windows of increased brain adaptability, allowing patients to form new neural pathways and break compulsive behaviors more effectively than traditional approaches alone.

Safety and Medical Oversight
Understanding Addiction Risk
Ketamine is a Schedule III controlled substance with potential for dependency. We conduct comprehensive addiction history screenings and continuous monitoring for any signs of misuse.
Rigorous Patient Selection
Not every patient is suitable for ketamine-assisted addiction treatment. We require detailed medical history, psychological evaluation, and evidence of treatment-resistant addiction patterns.
Comprehensive Safety Protocols
- Pre-treatment medical clearance
- Continuous vital sign monitoring during infusions
- Post-session recovery observation
- 24/7 crisis intervention protocols
- Coordination with emergency services when needed
Contraindications Screening
Certain medical conditions, psychiatric disorders, or active substance use patterns may preclude treatment. Our physicians evaluate each case individually.

Comprehensive addiction history, medical evaluation, psychological screening, and treatment goal setting. We review your previous treatment experiences and current support systems.
