What to Expect

You MUST bring a Government-Issued photo ID with you for each appointment.

And you are not permitted to drive operate heavy machinery for 24 hours post-treatment. So plan to have a trusted friend or family member drive you home after your infusion.

It’s recommended you wear comfortable loose clothing. You may bring headphones and listen to the music of your choosing. Otherwise, noise-canceling, wireless, Bluetooth headphones will be provided.

• First, upon arrival at NeuroRelief, you will meet directly with a doctor. You’ll discuss your physical and mental health history. You can also ask any questions you might have.
• An initial dose will be decided that takes many factors into effect. These include body weight, medical history, current medications, age, sex, and more. Each following infusion will have the dose adjusted. Oftentimes, they will be increased depending upon your response to the previous therapy.
• Each infusion lasts for approximately either 60 mins (for depression/PTSD/anxiety). For chronic pain/migraines the average infusion lasts 2-3 hours.
• After placement of a tiny IV in an arm vein in a private and comfortable treatment room, your infusion therapy will commence. And you will never receive therapy with another patient.
• As your Ketamine experience begins, you will feel relaxed, mildly euphoric, and often experience a very calm, dissociative feeling. Throughout the entire experience, you will be constantly monitored for oxygenation, blood pressure, and heart rhythm.

Patient Questions about NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy

This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

What ketamine protocols does NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy offer?

NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy offers IV ketamine and KAP — a 2-protocol practice. Patients can switch between or combine modalities without changing providers. Confirm specific dosing schedules and which protocols are recommended for your condition during your consult.

Does NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?

Yes — NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy 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 NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy suited for treatment-resistant depression?

NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy treats depression via IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based), and 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 NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy treat chronic pain conditions?

Yes — NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy treats chronic pain. They use IV ketamine for pain, which typically means longer infusion times and higher cumulative doses than mental-health protocols. 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 NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — NeuroRelief Ketamine & Infusion Therapy 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.

  Dr. Harris is truly a remarkable doctor. His exceptional level of care and knowledge sets him apart. He takes the time to explain procedures thoroughly and remains by your side through every step of the journey. Dr. Harris’s unwavering support and round-the-clock availability demonstrate his dedication to his patients, a rarity in the medical field. His passion for the benefits of ketamine is evident, and rightfully so. After grappling with trauma, depression, anxiety, and PTSD for over three decades, ketamine was the breakthrough I needed, thanks to Dr. Harris’s expertise. I wholeheartedly trust him and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone facing similar struggles. Dr. Harris is a beacon of hope in the realm of mental health care.
