Nushama
A Manhattan ketamine clinic running a four-week, seven-session alcohol program modelled on the KARE trial, pairing infusions with mindfulness-based relapse prevention.
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.
Nushama's alcohol program is built directly on the KARE protocol from the UK trial that gave the approach its evidence base: a short series of ketamine sessions inside a structured course of mindfulness-based relapse prevention therapy, delivered over four weeks as an outpatient. It also treats depression and alcohol use together for people with both, which is common.
Ask what the screening looks like for withdrawal risk, what happens between sessions, and what the plan is for the months after the course ends.
