Ketamine Wellness Centers close in 9 states, leaving patients in lurch

Ketamine Wellness Centers promised a “life-changing” method to treat suicidal ideation, depression and PTSD. But its abrupt closure  last week has left mental-health patients in Arizona and eight other states without access to drugs or therapy.

One of the nation’s largest chains of ketamine clinics, which started in Phoenix, ceased operating with no advance notice to patients, deadbolting its offices, posting a note on its website, and sending an email.
