Consultation
Everything starts with a phone or in-office consultation with one of our friendly and highly trained medical staff. During the consultation, we will learn about your symptoms and medical history to accurately determine if you are a candidate for ketamine IV therapy. We know you will have questions too, so we will answer any questions you may have about ketamine treatment right then and there.
Treatment
Day
Upon arrival, you will check in and then be taken back to the private infusion room to begin treatment. You will be comfortably reclining or laying down for the 45 minute duration of the infusion and you will wear a blood pressure cuff and other standard monitors.
During
Treatment
After the infusion starts, you will almost immediately feel a little drowsy and will start feeling “free” or “floating”. You will be comfortably reclining or laying down for the 45 minute duration of the infusion and you will wear a blood pressure cuff and other standard monitors.
After
Treatment
Once the infusion is over, your recovery will be around 30-45 minutes. Anticipate drowsiness for a few hours after the infusion. We strongly recommend that you pre-arrange a ride home after your treatment.
Results
of Infusion
Patient’s length of response to the infusion will vary from patient to patient but will increase with subsequent treatments. For example, after the first series of six infusions for depression, you may experience relief of symptoms for 1-2 months and for up to 6 months. Then as needed, we will schedule single booster infusions to control your symptoms.
