She Became a Doctor Because She Wanted to Help Other People — After Beating Ketamine Addiction at TNI Rehab
Addiction doesn’t always start with a decision to use drugs—it often begins with silent emotional pain, misunderstood trauma, and the desire to escape. This is the story of XYZ, a woman whose path from depression and ketamine addiction led her to healing and ultimately to a career in medicine.
The Beginning of a Hidden Struggle
At first, no one in XYZ’s family noticed anything more than sadness. She was emotionally fragile, had trouble fitting in, and suffered from chronic low mood and anxiety. “I felt like I didn’t fit in the majority of the time,” she said. Despite being married with two children, she felt isolated and invisible.
Before her marriage, she started taking pain medication occasionally without Doctor’s prescription, hoping to ease emotional and physical discomfort. But the use escalated. When opioid pills became harder to find, she turned to ketamine injections—a drug with dissociative effects that offered her temporary escape but led to long-term destruction.
When Addiction Took Over
A year into her ketamine use, she opened up to her elder sister. She admitted she couldn’t stop. Her family tried everything—talking to her, grounding her, monitoring her—but nothing worked. Her addiction had taken over her life.
Her marriage collapsed under the weight of her substance use. Eventually, she faced divorce and separation from her children. The emotional toll was devastating. She no longer recognised herself. “I just wanted to die,” she said during her intake at TNI Rehab. “I couldn’t handle life when things got tough.”
Seeking Help at TNI Rehab
Her mother and elder sister brought her to The New Inception Drug Addiction and Psychological Health Care Center (TNI Rehab) in Islamabad. She was admitted for a 5-month inpatient treatment program focusing on ketamine addiction recovery, depression, and emotional trauma.
At first, she was deeply withdrawn and overwhelmed by guilt and shame. But slowly, through TNI Rehab’s structured program, she began her healing journey.
Her treatment included:
12-Step Recovery Program
Individual Counseling Sessions
Psychiatric Support
Group Therapy
Family Counseling
Each session helped her better understand her disease, her emotional triggers, and her patterns of self-destruction.
Rebuilding Relationships
One of the most powerful aspects of her recovery was reconnecting with her family. Her mother and sister joined the family therapy sessions with Doctor, where they learned about addiction, how to offer emotional support, and how to rebuild trust by the doctor.
This healing within the family system played a vital role in her motivation and long-term success. As she says, “For the first time, I felt seen, not judged.”
Transformation Through Recovery
Over five months, she underwent an emotional transformation. The same woman who once said she had no will to live was now setting personal goals, rebuilding her sense of identity, and dreaming again.
Her recovery from ketamine addiction not only helped her reestablish a connection with her children and husband, but it also inspired her to go further.
She enrolled in medical studies.
Her motivation? “I want to help people like me. I want to be the support I never had.”
A New Life, A New Purpose
Today, XYZ is a certified doctor. Her patients are often struggling with the same battles she once fought—depression, trauma, addiction. But her story is no longer one of despair. It’s one of strength, healing, and purpose.
“TNI Rehab saved my life,” she says. “It helped me become a better mother, daughter, sister, wife—and a doctor. I’m living proof that recovery is possible.”
Her journey is a powerful testament to how professional care, family involvement, and personal commitment can transform a life once defined by pain into one led by compassion and healing.
