Perhaps you or a loved one is suffering from severe depression or chronic pain and it’s come to the point where it’s absolutely unbearable, or worse, you fear them taking their own life. It might not make sense to you, “why can’t I snap out of this,” “why does nothing work,” and “why am I this way?”
The dose of Ketamine used in the personal IV infusions is small and will not cause you to go to sleep. We’ll take your weight and height measurements and the severity of your depression into account and customize the infusion for you.
We wish we could guarantee you’ll feel better after treatment, but there is no guarantee. Between 70-80% of clients see a greater than 50% reduction in their depression symptoms after 6 treatments.
What we will know is during your first treatment if it’s going to continue to work for you or not. Once we determine that Ketamine will work for you, we’ll continue a series of 6 treatments over a two-week period. Of those who have received treatment, 50% remain improved and will not require additional boosters. The other 50% do quite well with an occasional booster of two infusions performed once a month or every few months and can be spaced out over time.
You’ll be in a comfortable room in our spa-like clinic under the care and supervision of an emergency trained RN and one of our providers (NP or MD) trained in advanced management and experienced in Ketamine administration.
Referral and continued care from a psychiatrist or PCP are required for this treatment.
You can expect your mood to improve 3-4 hours after treatment. A series of treatments over 3-4 weeks is required for longer lasting effects. Side effects are minimal and infusions take approximately 45-60 minutes.
As suicide rates skyrocket and depression starts to become less of a taboo to discuss and more of a need to talk about now, there are many people, loved ones, family members and friends who continue to suffer from severe depression. For those who have failed traditional therapy for depression, Ketamine administered through an IV has shown to be a very promising treatment.
