Two years have passed since the world lost Matthew Perry — a beloved actor whose portrayal of Chandler Bing in Friends brought joy to millions. His honesty about addiction and mental health made him more than a television icon; he was a voice for those fighting quiet battles.
As we remember him now, it’s important to reflect not only on his legacy but also on what his story continues to teach us about the importance of safe, supervised care — especially when it comes to promising but powerful treatments like ketamine.
Ketamine: Safe and Effective When Used Properly
Ketamine has been used safely in medical settings for more than 50 years. Today, it’s a breakthrough option for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. In low, medically supervised doses, ketamine can rapidly relieve symptoms when traditional treatments have fallen short.
At Northwest Ketamine Clinics, we’ve delivered over 45,000 infusions, and 86% of our patients report relief — often within their first few treatments. When administered by experienced medical professionals, ketamine can help patients regain emotional balance, restore connection, and rediscover hope.
When home remedies aren’t enough, help is closer than you think.
Why Supervision Matters
Media coverage following Matthew Perry’s death highlighted that an accidental ketamine overdose was the cause of Perry’s passing. While the circumstances were unique and deeply personal, the conversation serves as a powerful reminder: the setting and supervision make all the difference.
The ketamine used in clinical treatment differs greatly from unsupervised or recreational use. In a medical environment, doses are precisely calculated, patients are continuously monitored, and their response to treatment is tracked in real time.
By contrast, self-administering ketamine or combining it with other substances outside of a clinical setting can lead to dangerous, unpredictable outcomes.
