Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic, recurrent condition that demonstrates significant heterogeneity in treatment response to first-line agents. Ketamine may have a therapeutic role in substance use disorders; however, research on this topic is limited. The objective of this systematic review is to qualitatively synthesize the current evidence of ketamine treatment for alcohol use disorder and evaluate its efficacy.
