Your Treatment: What to Expect
Most ketamine treatments run approximately 3-4 weeks, though treatment length will depend on the complexity of the client’s needs. Beginning with a preparatory session, in which therapist and client will map out goals for the treatment, the Field Trip Health treatment then moves on to a psychedelic session, starting off with low doses and increasing only if assessment calls for higher doses.
Immediately following the psychedelic session, and then again in an integration session, clients will sit with a therapist and explore the experience, sorting out how to utilize what has been discovered in the psychedelic session in order to facilitate healing. Psychedelic and integration sessions are then repeated until both client and therapist are satisfied with the outcome.
Who is this treatment for?
Field Trip Health Los Angeles offers ketamine therapy for those who have not seen desired benefits from mainstream medical practices. While a safe and evidence-based practice, psychedelic therapy does involve some risks to clients with pre-existing conditions. As such, based on an assessment of your health history, the Field Trip team will help clients decide whether or not ketamine therapy is useful and safe for their particular circumstances. By combining cutting-edge and traditional psychotheraputic practices, the Field Trip team offers hope to those suffering from mental health issues that are resistant to mainstream treatments.
I read an article about the benefits of MDMA Therapy for those that haven’t been responsive to “normal” therapy. In California, the closest thing legally to that is Ketamine therapy. I found Field Trip, and while totally uncertain at first, I moved forward with the process. I’m so glad I did. The “thing” bothering me mentally/emotionally has almost been completely healed. I had a breakthrough first session where the “how to fix this” surfaced immediately. It was unreal. 10/10 would recommend anyone that is “stuck” to come and use this powerful healing tool.
