Active Recovery Care – Mesa, Arizona Ketamine Clinics

✓ Last verified: February 13, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: Active Recovery Care in Mesa specializes in addiction recovery and mental health treatment, offering IV ketamine infusions alongside medication management, psychiatric assessment, and integrative healing modalities. Led by Dr. Melissa Ferrell, DNP, PMHNP-BC, the practice takes an individualized approach to treating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions with ketamine therapy.

HealingMaps Take: Active Recovery Care fills an important niche in the Mesa area by combining ketamine therapy with addiction treatment—a dual focus that few clinics offer. Dr. Ferrell’s dual board certification in psychiatric and family nursing brings versatile clinical expertise. The practice’s partnership with Arizona Relationship Institute for outpatient therapy ensures patients receive ongoing psychological support alongside their ketamine treatments. This is a particularly strong option for individuals dealing with both substance use disorders and treatment-resistant depression.

Market Position: Active Recovery Care offers the full ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) protocol alongside medical-only ketamine dosing — one of the more integrated treatment menus in the Mesa metro.

Patient Questions about Active Recovery Care

This question is matched to the conditions Active Recovery Care treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

Is Active Recovery Care suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Active Recovery Care treats depression via IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
