Ketamine Therapy for Alcohol Abuse Treatment in San Luis Obispo, CA

Break Free from Alcohol Dependency with IV or IM Ketamine for Alcohol Abuse Treatment

At Innerbloom Ketamine Therapy in San Luis Obispo, we understand the profound grip that alcohol can have on your life. For many, traditional treatments may not bring the relief or results needed.

That’s where Ketamine Therapy offers new hope. Utilizing cutting-edge IV (intravenous) and IM (intramuscular) ketamine treatments, we help individuals safely disrupt the cycles of alcohol dependence and rebuild healthier, more meaningful lives.

How Ketamine Helps with Alcohol Use Disorder

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is not just a habit—it’s a complex condition often rooted in trauma, depression, anxiety, or neurochemical imbalances. Ketamine therapy has shown groundbreaking success in rewiring neural pathways and reducing cravings, while also lifting co-occurring symptoms like depression and anxiety that often fuel addiction.

Clinical Benefits of Ketamine for AUD:

  • Reduced cravings and compulsions
  • Improved emotional regulation
  • Disruption of negative behavioral patterns
  • Lasting neuroplastic effects that support long-term recovery
  • Rapid reduction in depression or anxiety symptoms

What to Expect from Ketamine for Alcohol Use Disorder

Our protocol is tailored to your needs. Most patients begin with a series of 6 infusions or injections over 2–3 weeks, followed by maintenance sessions based on individual progress. Treatments are administered in a calming, private setting under continuous monitoring by our experienced clinical team. We also encourage integration support—whether through therapy, coaching, or support groups—to help you maximize the healing potential of your ketamine sessions.

IV vs IM Ketamine Therapy: Which Is Right for You?

At Innerbloom, we offer both IV (intravenous) and IM (intramuscular) Ketamine Therapy because each offers unique benefits:

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I feel high or out of control during treatment?

Some people experience altered perceptions, dissociation, or a dream-like state during ketamine sessions. However, you remain in a safe, monitored environment with trained professionals, and the effects wear off within an hour.

You should not drive on the day of your treatment. We recommend arranging transportation and avoiding work or important responsibilities immediately afterward. Most people resume normal activities the next day.

Currently, ketamine therapy for alcohol use disorder is typically not covered by insurance, although some HSAs and FSAs may reimburse part of the cost. We can help you explore payment options during your consultation.

Many medications are compatible with ketamine, but some may interfere with its effectiveness or safety. We’ll review your medical history and medications beforehand to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.

We recommend reducing or stopping alcohol use prior to treatment to maximize results. However, we understand this can be difficult—our team can support you through a safe and gradual approach if needed.
