Patient Questions about Innate Integrative Medicine
This 4-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Innate Integrative Medicine treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Does Innate Integrative Medicine offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Yes — Innate Integrative Medicine offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.
Is Innate Integrative Medicine suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Innate Integrative Medicine treats depression via KAP for trauma-anchored depression. 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.
Does Innate Integrative Medicine treat chronic pain conditions?
Yes — Innate Integrative Medicine treats chronic pain. Common indications include complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, and certain neuropathic pain syndromes. Pain pricing varies significantly by structure: per-infusion vs. multi-day inpatient packages — verify how this clinic structures their billing.
Can Innate Integrative Medicine help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Innate Integrative Medicine treats anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. The evidence base for ketamine in anxiety is less robust than for depression, but it can be a meaningful option for patients who haven’t responded to SSRIs or benzodiazepines. Worth asking which of their protocols they typically recommend for anxiety-primary patients.
