Avesta Ketamine and Wellness
A five-clinic group around Washington DC that offers monitored ketamine for alcohol use disorder, requires full detox before treatment and coordinates with the patient's own counselling.
Ketamine for alcohol use disorder is off-label and still experimental. The best evidence is for a short course of ketamine paired with structured therapy, after detox, as an addition to ongoing recovery support rather than a replacement for it.
Avesta stands out for stating the order plainly: detox first, then sub-anaesthetic ketamine under monitoring, coordinated with counselling that continues outside the clinic. That is the sequence the evidence supports and it is worth using as a yardstick for any other program. Five locations across DC, Maryland and Virginia.
