FAQs
What is Ketamine therapy?
Ketamine therapy is a psychiatric treatment that involves the use of ketamine, a medication primarily used for starting and maintaining anesthesia. In recent years, ketamine has gained attention for its off-label use in treating various mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Ketamine is administered in controlled settings, typically via a sublingual lozenge or intravenous infusion, and has shown promising results in rapidly alleviating symptoms in individuals who have not responded well to other traditional treatments. Despite its potential benefits, ketamine therapy is not without risks and side effects, and it is crucial for treatment to be conducted under the supervision of trained medical professionals.

Who can benefit from ketamine therapy?
Ketamine therapy can benefit individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and chronic pain conditions. It offers hope to veterans who have not responded to traditional treatments like medications and therapy. Ketamine therapy is also beneficial for those seeking a rapid and effective treatment option, as it can often provide relief after just a few sessions. Additionally, individuals who are unable to tolerate the side effects of other medications may find ketamine therapy to be a well-tolerated alternative.
What is a transformational dose of ketamine?
Transformational doses, which are higher, can lead to profound and mystical experiences that may promote personal growth and insight. Transformational doses work by modulating glutamate neurotransmission and enhancing synaptic plasticity in the brain, ultimately facilitating therapeutic breakthroughs and emotional processing for individuals seeking treatment for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
What is the process for ketamine therapy?
The procedure begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's medical and mental health history to determine if they are a suitable candidate for ketamine therapy. If cleared, the patient will be scheduled for their first session which takes place in our controlled clinical setting. During the session, the patient is closely monitored by our staff as the ketamine is administered through a sublingual lozenge. After each session, the patient is monitored for a period of time before being allowed to leave the clinic.
The number of sessions needed varies for each individual and multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve the full desired results.
If you choose to also utilize therapy after your treatments, it can enhance the effectiveness of those sessions by increasing your ability to explore thoughts and emotions.
