A major shift is underway. Health Canada has officially recognized ketamine as a National Priority Drug, marking a turning point in how this powerful therapy is understood and supported across the country.
At MiNDSET Integrative Ketamine Care, we see this as more than a regulatory milestone — it’s validation of what we’ve witnessed in our own clinic every day: ketamine, when delivered safely and paired with therapy, can catalyze real and lasting change.
A Step Forward for Access and Innovation
Health Canada’s National Priority designation signals increased national attention on ketamine’s medical value.
This move is expected to enhance supply chain reliability, encourage further research, and improve patient access to safe, high-quality ketamine formulations.
In other words, the infrastructure and recognition are finally catching up with the results we’ve seen in practice.
Why Integration Still Matters Most
Even as awareness grows, one thing remains clear — ketamine works best when it’s part of an integrative process.
At MiNDSET, every infusion takes place under the supervision of a board-certified anesthesiologist and is supported by concurrent therapy sessions. This combination — medical precision plus emotional guidance — helps unlock the full healing potential of the experience.
Integration turns a chemical change into a meaningful transformation.
What This Means for Patients
For our patients, this designation brings hope in tangible ways:
-
Enhanced safety and oversight from national prioritization.
-
Increased accessibility as awareness and legitimacy expand.
-
Renewed momentum for research and clinical refinement.
But more importantly, it reinforces that those seeking help through ketamine therapy are part of a recognized, evidence-based movement — not an alternative experiment.
Our Commitment
While Health Canada’s recognition reflects the national momentum, our focus remains deeply personal. We’ll continue to deliver integrative ketamine care with compassion, safety, and partnership at the center of everything we do.
Because while policy can open the door, it’s human connection — and the right mindset — that helps people step through it.
