The Rise of Ketamine Clinics and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

Ketamine clinics have been on the rise in the U.S. in recent years. As a byproduct of the common practice of prescribing drugs “off-label,” these clinics are not necessarily new in their operating model. Off-label use is the utilization of pharmaceutical drugs for, among other factors, unapproved indications. An approved indication occurs when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) formally approves a given drug for a named medical condition.
