​​The National Institute of Health states: Recent data suggests that Ketamine given intravenously, may be the most important breakthrough  in antidepressant treatment in decades.

​

The World Health Organization (WHO) has Ketamine listed as an Essential Medicine to the planet since 1985.

​

In general, the process of initial treatment is six treatments given over 2-3 weeks using low, sub-anesthetic doses. Dose may be adjusted after the first and subsequent infusions. All infusions take place in a soothing, calm,  quiet space with dimmed/darkened lights and a comfortable recliner.  They are medically supervised with vital signs continuously monitored. We also use headphones and specialized music to optimize the experience. Each infusion takes 45-60 minutes. All clients must have a driver to take them home from each infusion and are to refrain from driving for 12 hours.

​

​Ketamine promotes the creation of new, healthy neural connections involved in mood, thought patterns and cognition. 

​

Ketamine targets different subsets of neurotransmitters in the brain than conventional SSRIs and SNRIs.  When other oral medications have not worked in the past, Ketamine may be a better choice.

 Ketamine has an 80% success rate and a rapid onset of antidepressant effect, so many feel significantly better in a short amount of time.
