What does ketamine treat?

There are hundreds of studies and research papers showing consistent benefit for:

  There is also research suggesting ketamine can also work on:

• Bipolar

• Suicidal Thoughts

• Migraine Headaches

• Substance Abuse Disorders

  IM (intramuscular, i.e. a shot) Ketamine is only FDA approved for use as an anesthetic/sedative. The use for mental health or pain, is considered “off label” which is the reason it is typically not covered by insurance. We recommend that you spend some time researching ketamine, as well as speaking to your therapist, to see if you think it would be right for you.

  We will have a video consultation before any treatment, to be sure that you are a good candidate. We recommend that patients have a therapist and primary care physician that approve you for ketamine injection, and we are happy consulting with them if necessary. The first 48hrs after treatment is when your brain experiences the most neuroplasticity, so scheduling a therapy appointment within two days of treatment is ideal.

  Although ketamine has a significantly lower risk of addiction compared to other medications, there is still the risk of abuse. Patients MUST have a diagnosis of one (or more) of the above conditions before treatment will be considered.
