Frequently Asked Questions About Ketamine Infusion Therapy

What is ketamine infusion therapy?

Ketamine infusion therapy involves the administration of ketamine, a medication known for its anesthetic properties, through a slow intravenous drip. It is used off-label to treat conditions such as treatment resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

How does ketamine infusion therapy work?

Ketamine works differently from traditional antidepressants by targeting the glutamate system in the brain, which is involved in mood regulation. It helps to rapidly increase levels of certain neurotransmitters, often leading to improved mood and reduced symptoms.

Who can benefit from ketamine infusion therapy?

Ketamine infusion therapy may benefit individuals who have not responded to other treatments for depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

What conditions can ketamine infusion therapy treat?

Ketamine infusion therapy has shown promising results in treating various mental health conditions, including major depressive disorder, disorders (such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Is ketamine infusion therapy safe?

When administered by trained medical professionals in a clinical setting, ketamine infusion therapy is generally safe. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including dissociation, blood pressure changes, and nausea. Our team closely monitors patients throughout the infusion process to reduce risk and provide comfort.

How long does a ketamine infusion session take?

A typical ketamine infusion session lasts around 40-60 minutes, including preparation and recovery time. During the infusion, patients relax in a comfortable, private setting while the medication is administered through an IV drip.

How many ketamine infusion sessions are needed?

The number of ketamine infusion sessions needed varies depending on individual factors, such as the severity of symptoms and how well the patient responds to treatment. Typically, 6 initial sessions are recommended with spaced-out maintenance sessions following the initial treatment.

What can I expect during a ketamine infusion session?

During a ketamine infusion session, you will recline comfortably in a quiet, private room while the medication is administered intravenously. Many patients report feeling a sense of relaxation and calmness during the infusion.

How soon can I expect to see results from ketamine infusion therapy?

Some patients may experience improvement in symptoms within hours or days after a ketamine infusion session. However, for others, it may take several sessions to achieve therapeutic effects. Our team will work closely with you to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Is ketamine infusion therapy covered by insurance?
