Ketamine is a medication developed in the 1960s, widely used in medical practice as an FDA-approved anesthetic for surgical procedures. It is classified as a dissociative, meaning it can induce a sense of detachment from one's environment, an "out of body" experience, and decreased sensitivity to pain. About 20 years ago, researchers discovered that ketamine has a remarkable ability to induce rapid neuroplasticity in the brain. This means it can quickly help form new connections that previously did not exist before. Since then, ketamine has been increasingly recognized in the psychiatric field as an innovative alternative to more traditional medications and treatments.

Ketamine is highly effective for treating symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts. Preliminary evidence also supports its use in bipolar depression, OCD, and substance use disorders.

The success rate of ketamine treatment varies due to factors such as the specific condition being treated, frequency of treatments, dosage, and whether it's combined with therapy. About 75%-80% of patients undergoing ketamine treatment for depression experience significant improvement in their symptoms. Ketamine shows particular promise for individuals with "treatment-resistant depression" — those who haven't found success with other medications or therapies.

Since ketamine has not yet been approved by the FDA specifically for depression or other mental health conditions, it is currently administered as an "off-label" treatment. Consequently, ketamine treatments are generally not covered by insurance, requiring patients to pay out-of-pocket.

We accept credit cards, debit cards, HSA/FSA cards, checks, and cash. We aim to make the payment process as convenient as possible for all of our patients.
