How does it work?
Ketamine is done at our office with an IV infusion. This infusion will allow you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience while being monitored by our staff.
How long does it take?
Each session is anywhere from 40-60 minutes, and we typically recommend that patients undergo six treatments over two weeks.
Can it replace other psychiatric treatments?
No, we encourage all Ketamine patients to continue to work with their therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist while they are using Ketamine.
Is it addictive?
Although Ketamine can be addictive, when it’s administered in small doses in a controlled environment risk of addiction is really low.
What are the side effects?
After Ketamine, you may feel a little bit drowsy, and you should get a ride home. Also, patients should avoid driving for a full 24 hours. Our CRNA will go over the list of potential side effects during your first appointment.
