KETAMINE INFUSIONS

Ketamine infusions are commonly used to treat conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain syndromes, and certain mood disorders.

Ketamine infusion treatment involves the intravenous administration of a carefully controlled dose of ketamine over a set period of time. Ketamine works by modulating neurotransmitters in the brain, particularly glutamate, which can lead to rapid and potentially transformative effects on mood and pain perception.

Ketamine infusions are often considered for individuals who have not responded well to traditional treatments for depression, anxiety, or chronic pain. A thorough medical evaluation is typically conducted to determine if a patient is a suitable candidate for the treatment.

 During a ketamine infusion session, patients are comfortably seated in a controlled environment. The infusion is administered intravenously, and patients are closely monitored throughout the process. The experience can vary, but some patients may feel altered perceptions, relaxation, or a sense of dissociation during the infusion.

The effects of a ketamine infusion treatment can vary from person to person. Some individuals may experience immediate relief that lasts for several days to weeks, while others might require a series of treatments to achieve sustained improvements. The treatment plan is often tailored to the individual’s response and needs.
