Ketamine infusions with psychological therapy could represent “hope” for alcohol misuse, scientists say.
Ketamine and therapy cut the risk of relapse by 2.7 times at six months, the study authors said.

Oregon Business – Thriving in a New Business World

Businesses are beginning to feel a post-pandemic positivity, in part because the changes they made during the shutdown worked and they are now well-positioned for whatever might come next.
