Unfortunately not at this time. We do however offer significant discounts for packaged therapies and patients returning for maintenance therapy. Payment is due at time of care.

We absolutely recommend that you have someone drive you to and from your appointment. Ketamine is a controlled substance and driving under the influence would be illegal. Further we do not recommend you drive for at least 12 hours post therapy. We make all patients sign a waiver stating they agree not to drive for 12 hours post therapy.

We do not recommend you return to work. After your first couple therapies, you will understand how ketamine affects you, but it can make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous, intoxicated and for those reasons we recommend you go home after therapy.

Our team has over 25 years of combined clinical experience, we are well equipped and trained at multiple modalities to get IV access.

Please refrain from eating any solid foods for 6 hours before your therapy session. However, you can have clear liquids up to 2 hours prior to the treatment. This approach helps in minimizing the risk of nausea, for which we will provide medication before the therapy begins.

Absolutely! We encourage our clients to bring noise cancelling headphones for sensory deprivation or for music if that is your preference.

We monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, respiratory rate, EKG, mental status and mood during your therapy sessions.

Most common side effects include slight elevation in blood pressure and heart rate, a floating sensation of wellbeing, occasional nausea, which we treat, changes in visual and auditory perceptions and feelings of detachment from yourself and your environment. Our therapists will help guide you through any side effects you might experience.

No. Ketamine infusions are an adjunct, another tool to help combat depression. We are happy to work with your psychotherapist but we will not be managing your other medications or prescriptions. If your therapist changes a medication, it is recommended to wait at least 3 weeks before undergoing ketamine therapy.

We recommend coming in with a positive, open mindset. Try to avoid the news, social media or any other negative influences prior to therapy. We recommend you see a therapist during your first 2 weeks of therapy to maximize the benefits of ketamine therapy and to discuss any feelings that might manifest as a result of your therapy. Let us know if you would like a recommendation for a therapist.

Our therapy protocol consists of 6 sessions spread over a period of 14 to 21 days. Following this initial phase, patients may opt for maintenance therapy, which typically occurs every 3-4 weeks. The frequency of maintenance therapy can vary depending on individual patient needs, which become clearer after the commencement of treatment. It’s important to note that patients are required to complete at least 5 sessions before considering termination of the therapy. In cases where a patient experiences no effects after 5 sessions, they may be identified as a ‘non-responder,’ a situation that occurs in approximately 15-20% of cases and can be challenging for both the patient and the clinician.

Mood therapies are 45 minutes, but we recommend patients budget 75 minutes to relax after therapy. Pain patients require 2-4 hours depending on the treatment administered.

Often described as a floating, calm sensation. Ketamine causes dissociation, which is the sensation of having an “out of body experience”, disconnected from the physical world. Some people report seeing vivid colors and visions, some have reported sounds being distorted. The experience is different for every patient.

Most medications are safe, your provider will check this prior to therapy. Some medications decrease the effectiveness of ketamine and include lamotrigine and benzos (valium, xanax, klonopin, ativan).

Ketamine is safe in a monitored setting. However, uncontrolled hypertension, liver or kidney disease and neurologic diseases may exclude you from therapy. Discuss all of your medical conditions and medications with your therapist during your consultation.
