Frequently Asked Questions

Ketamine for Mood Disorders

What mental health conditions do you treat with ketamine therapy?
We provide ketamine infusion therapy for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar depression, and alcohol use disorder. Each patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation to determine clinical appropriateness.
Ketamine blocks NMDA receptors, which leads to increased glutamate activity and stimulation of AMPA and mTOR pathways—fostering new synaptic connections. This neuroplastic effect helps restore balance in brain circuits involved in mood regulation.
Many patients report improvement within 2 to 4 hours of their first infusion. This rapid onset is a major advantage over traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to work.
Relief typically lasts between one and two weeks after a single infusion. To sustain benefits, patients usually follow an initial series of six infusions over two to three weeks, with maintenance infusions as needed.
A standard protocol consists of six infusions over two to three weeks. Maintenance infusions are then scheduled every 3 to 6 weeks based on the patient’s symptom return and overall response.
During the infusion, patients may feel deeply relaxed or mildly dissociated. Some describe the experience as dream-like or “floating.” These effects are temporary and closely monitored by our team.
Mild dissociation is common and typically fades within an hour after the infusion. Our clinical staff monitors your experience throughout each session to ensure your comfort and safety.
Yes. Most patients benefit from ongoing maintenance infusions to preserve symptom relief. Frequency is individualized, typically every 3 to 6 weeks.
Yes. Ketamine can be an effective treatment for bipolar depression when carefully administered. We thoroughly assess all patients to ensure it’s appropriate for their diagnosis and history.
Ketamine therapy for mood disorders is not usually covered by insurance. However, we provide claim documentation for patients who wish to seek partial out-of-network reimbursement.

How Ketamine Works for Pain Management

What types of chronic pain conditions do you treat with ketamine?

We treat neuropathic and centralized pain conditions such as CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome), fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, post-surgical nerve pain, and other complex nerve-related disorders.

Ketamine blocks NMDA receptors involved in central sensitization—a process where the nervous system amplifies pain signals. By disrupting this, ketamine can help reduce overall pain intensity and sensitivity.
Most patients begin with a course of 6 to 8 infusions over 2 to 3 weeks. The exact number and duration vary depending on your specific diagnosis and how you respond.
Pain relief can last from several weeks to several months. Booster infusions may be recommended when symptoms begin to return.
Pain protocols use higher doses and longer infusions—typically 45 to 60 minutes per session—compared to the 40-minute infusions used for mood conditions.
Temporary side effects may include nausea, increased blood pressure, or dissociative sensations. Our clinical staff monitors and manages these in real time to ensure a safe experience.
Yes. Dosing and scheduling are customized based on your pain profile, response to early infusions, and overall treatment goals.
Ketamine for chronic pain is typically not covered by insurance. We provide claim forms upon request for patients pursuing out-of-network reimbursement.
