Psychedelic for PTSD Treatment by Psychedelic Therapy Clinic

Living with anxiety or PTSD can feel like carrying an invisible weight, making each day harder to navigate. At Psychedelic Therapy Clinic, we understand the deep emotional toll these conditions can take, and that’s why we focus on treatments that go beyond just masking the symptoms.

Psychedelic therapy works by reworking the brain’s neural connections, helping to break free from the cycle of trauma and anxiety. Whether you’re a first responder, a survivor of workplace trauma, or someone still carrying the scars of past experiences, we are here to guide you toward symptom improvement and relief.

Psychedelic for PTSD offers an alternative for those who need symptom relief where other traditional treatments have failed, often showing results in a matter of hours, compared to the weeks it can take for traditional medications to take effect. With our team’s expertise and a focus on your unique needs, we ensure that every step of your healing journey is supported in a safe and personalized environment.

How Psychedelic Therapy Helps with PTSD and Anxiety

The Science Behind Psychedelic for PTSD Treatment

Psychedelic is a non-opioid anesthetic that acts on glutamate NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) brain receptors to increase glutamate release. By working through this neurotransmitter, glutamate, treatments using psychedelic for PTSD reduce PTSD symptoms (fear, anxiety) and assist the brain in processing traumatic events.

What makes psychedelic different from antidepressant or anxiety medications? Traditional antidepressant medications target specific areas of the brain, such as the monoamine neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Conversely, psychedelic infusions for PTSD target a chemical messenger called glutamate.

Psychedelic generates a surge in glutamate and activates other brain receptors including AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isooxaole-propionic acid) receptors. The result is improved communication within the neurons, which can positively impact mood and anxiety.

Psychedelic for PTSD also repairs connections (synapses) in the brain. PTSD-related anxiety damages neuronal connections in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Psychedelic works to allow an increase in neural growth and plasticity, which may reverse changes occurring in these areas.

Who Can Benefit from Psychedelic Infusion Therapy?

First Responders and PTSD Treatment Therapy

Witnessing repeated traumatic events has an emotional and psychological impact on police officers, paramedics, firefighters, and EMTs. They regularly witness death and suffering, causing trauma and stress associated with PTSD.

Psychedelic provides more rapid relief from PTSD symptoms compared to traditional antidepressant medications alone, which can be life-changing for those requiring immediate help to function properly at work. It also:

Reduces symptom intensity, helping people process traumatic memories effectively
Decreases the risk of suicide

Workplace Trauma and Psychedelic Therapy

For workplace accident survivors or those with stress-related anxiety, psychedelic produces a sedative effect, allowing clients to relax. It can help process the trauma more effectively and improve mood while reducing anxiety by altering brain receptors.

Combining Psychedelic with Psychotherapy for PTSD

Psychedelic is useful when combined with psychotherapy due to its calming and dissociative effects. By helping clients feel less focused on their surroundings and promoting a sense of calm, they can discuss their feelings more openly, aiding in their trauma recovery.

What to Expect During Psychedelic Infusion Therapy

Preparing for Your First Psychedelic Session

Before your first session, a detailed review of your psychiatric and medical history will be conducted. We gather information on your previous anxiety or PTSD treatments, overall health, and pre-existing conditions, which may include the efficacy and safety of treatment. This allows us to better predict interactions or complications and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

The Psychedelic Infusion Process

Once we determine you are a suitable candidate, the psychedelic infusion is administered in a controlled environment. Psychedelic is administered through an IV, allowing for precise control over your dosage. The drug is given by an anesthesiologist who will closely monitor your well-being and vital signs throughout the treatment.

Controlled settings also assist in addressing immediate emotional responses or side effects during the infusion.

The frequency and duration depend on your response to treatment and symptom severity. Generally, clients receive a series of infusions over several weeks, each lasting one hour to an hour and half. They usually begin with six sessions of infusions.

Post-Treatment Recovery and Follow-Up

Clients may experience dissociative effects, such as feeling detached from their environment or body, during treatment. These effects are temporary and typically subside once the session concludes. After treatment, many clients report a sense of relief and a noticeable reduction in trauma-related symptoms.

Due to the sedative effects of psychedelic , clients should arrange for transportation home after their treatment.
