HealingMaps Take: Willis-Knighton Health is the rare hospital-system ketamine program in our directory — and that institutional backing matters for the highest-acuity patients. IV ketamine delivered inside a full hospital with an attached Behavioral Medicine Institute means crisis-stabilization, inpatient psychiatry, and medical backup are all on-site, not a referral away. For severe or treatment-resistant depression with medical complexity, that infrastructure is hard to match in the Ark-La-Tex region.
Market Position: Willis-Knighton occupies the hospital-system slot in Shreveport — distinct from independent practices (Dr. Luraguiz). The full hospital infrastructure, Behavioral Medicine Institute integration, and Ark-La-Tex regional dominance are differentiators for high-acuity and medically-complex patients.
Is Willis-Knighton Health Right for You?
✓ Choose Willis-Knighton Health if:
- You want ketamine delivered within a full hospital system (medical backup on-site)
- You have severe or treatment-resistant depression with medical complexity
- Your ketamine indication includes chronic pain (their program treats both)
- You’re in Shreveport, Bossier City, or the broader Ark-La-Tex region
- You value crisis-stabilization and inpatient psychiatry being available in the same system
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You want a boutique/spa-style ketamine experience (this is hospital-based)
- You’re seeking Spravato or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)
- You prefer an independent clinic with a single dedicated provider

About Willis-Knighton Health
Willis-Knighton Health offers a hospital-based ketamine therapy program in Shreveport, LA — Willis-Knighton is the dominant health system in the Ark-La-Tex region (Arkansas-Louisiana-Texas border area), with its main medical center at 2600 Greenwood Road (71103).
The program provides IV ketamine infusions for people with severe depression — a series of intravenous infusions — as well as ketamine infusion therapy for chronic pain. Being hospital-based is the defining feature: medical backup, crisis-stabilization, and the Institute for Behavioral Medicine at Willis-Knighton South Hospital (2520 Bert Kouns Street) are all within the same system.
This infrastructure makes Willis-Knighton particularly suited to high-acuity patients — those with severe or treatment-resistant depression, medical comorbidities, or who may need a higher level of care than a standalone clinic can provide. Crisis stabilization through psychiatric and physical evaluation, individual and group therapy, and medication management are all available in-system.
