Your Treatment: What to Expect
Each patient is given a thorough psychiatric exam before undergoing treatments, due to ketamine’s strength as a psychiatric medication. Patient consultations take place before and after each treatment. Treatment adjustments and plans for the next session are discussed during these consultations.
Subsequent appointments last two hours, with the actual ketamine experience lasting anywhere from 40 to 70 minutes. Throughout the procedure, each patient has their vitals monitored. Treatment rooms are also equipped with video cameras, ensuring that the session proceeds comfortably.
Who is this treatment for?
Ketamine treatments are for individuals who have had little to no success with a number of mainstream oral antidepressants. Ketamine works on a different system in the brain, and can often offer relief of imminent and serious symptoms after only a few hours or days.
In combination with psychotherapy, ketamine injections can open the door to significant psychological breakthroughs and reductions in the severity of negative symptoms.
