Infused Hope
Ketamine infusion therapy offers rapid relief from symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain, making it an ideal option for individuals in crisis or those who have not responded to conventional treatments.
Many patients experience sustained improvements in mood and pain levels following a series of ketamine infusions, with effects lasting weeks to months after treatment.
How It Works
During a ketamine infusion session, a carefully calibrated dose of ketamine is delivered intravenously under the supervision of a trained healthcare professional. Unlike traditional antidepressants and pain medications, which may take weeks or even months to produce noticeable effects, ketamine works rapidly, often providing relief within hours or days of treatment. Ketamine acts on specific receptors in the brain, promoting the growth of new synaptic connections and restoring neural pathways associated with mood regulation and pain perception.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ketamine?
Ketamine is a medication that has been used primarily as an anesthetic agent for decades. However, in recent years, it has gained recognition for its potential as a treatment for various mental health conditions, particularly treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and chronic pain.
What is the success rate in treating depression?
According to research studies, it works on a neurotransmitter called Glutamate, which produces an important growth factor that helps the brain repair damaged neurons affected by stress and mental illness. Ketamine, can improve mood within hours/days and also cause the regeneration of nerve cells over time. Ketamine infusions to treat depression can be effective for 60-80 % of individuals. Although the effects of Ketamine usually last for several weeks, some people can remain depression free for months.
Are there any specific medical conditions that would prevent me from receiving treatment?
Ketamine infusion therapy is not indicated for patients diagnosed with psychosis. If you have high blood pressure, cardiac, and/or pulmonary issues it may be necessary for your primary care physician to provide a medical clearance before beginning your ketamine infusions.
What is the infusion process like?
Ketamine is administered intravenously very slowly over an alloted amount of time depending on treatment plan. At the start of the infusion, you may not have noticeable effects, but as the infusion progresses, you may encounter a feeling of “lightness” or “floating,” which for some feels as a “weight being lifted off their shoulders”. Most patients describe mild dissociative symptoms that are generally well tolerated.
You will be monitored throughout the infusion and we are prepared to treat any unpleasant side effects during the procedure. Within 15 minutes of completing the infusion, you will to start to regain your senses and your thinking will return to normal.
Our ketamine infusions are an outpatient procedure, requiring no hospital stay.
How much do infusions cost? Is this covered by insurance?
