Ketamine is a very old medication with new possibilities. Ketamine is used as an anesthetic medication; but in the last 20 years, research has shown Ketamine to be highly effective in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, OCD, and chronic pain. Ketamine works by binding to various receptors in the brain to promote regrowth and connections between brain cells that help regulate one’s mood. For patients experiencing chronic pain, longer infusions have been shown to “reset” nerves and decrease neuropathic pain.

Mental health infusions are customarily 1 hour appointments. The recommendation is a 6-infusion series over 3 weeks.

Each infusion is $450 dollars and an initial run of 6 infusions over 3 weeks is recommended.

Currently Ketamine Infusion Therapy is not covered by insurance. We can generate a superbill that is sent into your insurance that can be applied to your deductible in many cases. We are happy to help facilitate that process, as it is daunting for many people.

This is a great question and a common misconception about ketamine. Ketamine is an FDA approved drug used in the hospital daily. Over the last 60 years, doctors have discovered multiple uses for ketamine in mental health conditions.

Although Ketamine is FDA-approved, its use in these conditions is “off-label” and it is currently not covered by insurance. While thousands of patients are having success with this treatment there is no guarantee implied or otherwise or relief of pain or depressive symptoms.

It varies from person to person. Laughter, tears, sitting quietly or outright sobbing are all possible. A feeling of euphoria is commonly reported after the infusion followed by a drop in mood and then a lift to the new baseline.

It is variable which is why we use email or text check in.  We send you a daily reminder to check how you are feeling that day and then watch for downward trends.  The goal is to find the optimal dosing regime for each patient.  Some people may need 2 full initiating runs. Others may only need a single infusion booster every 3 months.  Rather than prescribing the same treatment for everyone, we focus on treating each individual.
