Ketamine has been shown to stimulate neuron growth in the brain in as quickly as one hour. Many scientists studying Ketamine are focusing on the neurotransmitter glutamate, which plays an important role in neural activation.
Yes, when it is given in a properly equipped clinical setting. Every infusion here is overseen by board-certified nurse practitioners on site, and your vitals are monitored throughout by registered nurses with extensive infusion training. A nurse and an integration specialist are present as needed during your 45-minute session for both medical safety and emotional support, and you stay in your private suite until you are genuinely ready to leave.
Ketamine is not right for everyone. It is generally not recommended if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure, a history of aneurysm or stroke, certain sensitivities, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We go through all of this with you during your evaluation before anything is scheduled.
About 80% of the treatment-resistant depression patients we treat see measurable relief. Many people notice a shift within hours or days rather than the weeks a conventional antidepressant usually needs. A single infusion may hold for a week or longer, and completing a short series typically extends that effect for weeks to months.
Results do vary from person to person, and your provider will set realistic expectations with you at your consultation.
It depends which treatment you have. TMS and Spravato are covered by many commercial and Medicare plans when you meet the clinical criteria, and our team will verify your benefits and handle the prior-authorisation paperwork your plan requires. IV ketamine infusion therapy is generally not covered by insurance and is paid for directly.
We accept FSA and HSA funds, all major credit cards, and the Advance Care Card, which offers 0% interest for 12 months for those who qualify. Call us and we will walk you through exactly what your treatment will cost before you commit to anything.
The infusion itself runs about 45 minutes, but we reserve a private suite for you for two full hours so nothing is rushed and you can leave when you are ready. The suites have double reclining chairs, so a support person can stay with you throughout.
We set the room with warm amber light from Himalayan salt lamps, and you can listen to a guided meditation or a sound-frequency playlist chosen for your session. A nurse monitors your vitals the whole time, and an integration specialist is on hand if you want support during or straight after the experience.
Please arrange for someone to drive you home – you should not drive for the rest of the day.
It starts with a consultation, where we review your history, the treatments you have already tried, and your current medications, and confirm that ketamine is a safe and sensible option for you.
If it is, a standard course is six sessions over about four weeks. Preparation and integration are built into the plan rather than sold separately: new ketamine clients get two hours of support from a certified integration coach across the series, plus pre-infusion guided meditation and personalised sound-frequency playlists.
After the initial series we review how you responded together and, if it would help, discuss maintenance infusions at a spacing that suits you.
No. Ketamine can affect coordination, judgement and alertness for several hours, so please arrange for someone to collect you. You should not drive or operate machinery for the rest of the day. If getting a ride is difficult, tell us when you book and we will help you plan around it.
