flag A 24-year-old UK man recovered from severe ketamine addiction, now working in rehab and warning of a surge in cases since 2021.

flag Mikey Batten, a 24-year-old from Heswall, shared his recovery journey from severe ketamine addiction after developing a daily habit at 16, initially unaware of its dangers. flag By age 22, kidney and back pain—misattributed at first—became debilitating, prompting two detox programs at Kaleidoscope, a local rehab facility. flag Now 19 months sober, he works there as a support worker and advocates for awareness, highlighting a 4,150% surge in ketamine-related rehab admissions since 2021. flag He credits pandemic isolation, delayed mental health care, and the drug’s accessibility for its rise, especially among men, while emphasizing recovery is possible despite addiction’s grip.
