Service Details

IV Ketamine for Mood Disorders

60 min

Intravenous ketamine infusions for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD. Standard protocol involves a loading phase of 6 infusions completed over 2 weeks, each lasting approximately one hour. Patients receive pre-infusion nausea medication, are monitored by clinical staff in private rooms, and can experience symptom relief lasting 1-2 months, with some patients responding for up to 6 months. Maintenance booster infusions are single sessions scheduled on an as-needed basis.

IV Ketamine for Chronic Pain

240 min

Intravenous ketamine infusions for chronic pain syndromes including CRPS, fibromyalgia, and migraines. Treatment typically involves 3-7 infusions lasting approximately 4 hours each over a few weeks during the loading phase. Ketamine works to restore central nervous system pain neurons from a heightened excitatory state to normal function. Maintenance booster infusions are offered on an as-needed basis, with timing determined by individual patient response and pain return patterns.

IV Ketamine for Drug Withdrawal

IV ketamine infusions to support patients managing substance addiction and withdrawal symptoms. The clinic notes that patients receiving ketamine infusions are often able to quit addictions while managing underlying undiagnosed mood disorder symptoms that may have contributed to self-medication behaviors.

What Reviewers Say
