Testimonials from Kentuckiana Integrative Medicine Patients
“Ketamine Therapy saved me after years of depression and not getting help from countless antidepressants. Now I am finally happy and have found a great IT job.”
K. Perkins
Ketamine Therapy is truly a lifesaver. I was suicidal. Marriage in trouble. Now I am pleased with life, marriage and work and just finished nursing medical school.
Kentuckiana Integrative Medicine, with a main clinic in Jeffersonville, Indiana, provides ketamine infusion therapy to the Indiana and Kentucky regions. Recent research at leading universities shows ketamine to be a powerful medicine. It has changed how people with resistant pain and mental health conditions approach healing and growth. As a result, the staff at the Kentuckiana clinic offers this treatment for those suffering from conditions ranging from depression and bipolar disorder to CRPS and fibromyalgia.
Ketamine infusion therapy has benefits for a wide variety of sufferers. Those seeking this powerful treatment suffer from conditions called “refractory”, or “resistant”. Such conditions have not responded positively to mainstream treatments and therapies. Of those who undergo this treatment, 70-80 percent report significant positive results.
Kentuckiana Ketamine Institute is one the most experienced Ketamine Treatment centers in Kentuckiana and the country. There is no other anti-suicidal and antidepressant therapy that is as fast, accessible and as effective as Ketamine Therapy. Many patients see improvement even after the first treatment. Six treatments within 2-3 weeks are required for best results and occasionally “booster” treatments. Over seven years ago, Kentuckiana introduced Ketamine to the community for mental health challenges such as Treatment Resistant Depression, Postpartum Depression, Reactive Depression, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, OCD, Severe Anxiety and Pain Issues [Fibromyalgia, Neuropathy, Migraines Multiple Sclerosis] with tremendous success.

Your Treatment: What to Expect
An initial assessment is necessary to rule out potential contraindications. Patients undergo a series of infusions over 1-2 weeks. Although a psychedelic compound, ketamine is infused in small enough amounts that side effects are subtle, and often quite pleasurable. First infusions at Kentuckiana Integrative Medicine are at a lower dose. Upon establishing tolerance to the medication, subsequent infusions are stronger and longer.
Ketamine is an effective medicine for most who come to it. However, approximately 20 percent of patients do not respond positively to the medication. Positive results cannot be guaranteed.
Ketamine therapy is not the first stop on the road to treating pain and mental health issues. Those who come to Kentuckiana Integrative Medicine will have tried other medications and therapies first. Once a condition is considered to be “resistant”, clinical trials with ketamine infusion show a 70-80 percent success rate. Kentuckiana Integrative Medicine can offer hope, healing, and growth.
