Patient Questions
This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine protocols does StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine offer?
StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine offers IV ketamine, KAP and IM ketamine — a 3-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 StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Yes — StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine 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 StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine suited for treatment-resistant depression?
StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine 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 StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine treat chronic pain conditions?
Yes — StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine 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 StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — StrIVeMD Wellness and Ketamine 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.
