I’m so sorry you’re going through this, Mouse55. Everything I’ve read about Ketamine on here and elsewhere sounds absolutely awful. 😔
I don’t have much Ketamine specific advice, but I will say that my mum took so many tries to get sober from alcohol before she eventually managed it permanently.
Each period of sobriety will have you wondering if this is "the one" where you’ll finally have them back, and when they fall off the wagon everything just feels completely hopeless, but it isn’t. They can eventually do it, they often just need many false starts before they do.
Stay positive, keep supporting him when he’ll let you, and keep up firm boundaries on what you won’t tolerate.
He’s stopped once so he clearly wants to get sober at some level, even if he doesn’t always act like it!

Sorry you are going through this, ketamine is truly awful. I’m not sure if it is possible but when my son wasn’t listening I messaged him regularly to say I loved him and was always there for him. This turned into going for tea or giving lifts until he eventually came back to us and has allowed me to support him. Every opportunity I had to show him that I saw him despite the addiction I took. I hope you get the opportunity and in time things ease. It’s very stressful, I hope you are getting support. Don’t try to do this on your own x

I searched for family support in my area and heard about this organisation on here. https://forwardtrust.org.uk/
The course I’m currently doing with other family members affected by addiction is very helpful.
