The Benefits of Ketamine Therapy

What is Ketamine Infusion under Anesthesia

Ketamine infusion under anesthesia involves delivering a controlled dose of ketamine intravenously in a clinical setting while the patient is mildly sedated. This approach minimizes discomfort and enhances the therapeutic experience. Ketamine works rapidly to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and certain chronic pain conditions by stimulating new neural connections in the brain areas responsible for emotion and mood regulation.

Getting Started Is Simple

Consult

A healthcare provider will assess your symptoms, review your history, and determine if you're a candidate for ketamine therapy.

Evaluation

You’ll meet in-person or virtually with our clinical team to tailor the treatment plan, determine the ideal dosage and frequency, and answer your questions.

Begin Treatment

Once cleared, your first ketamine infusion will be scheduled in a safe, monitored environment with ongoing support to track your progress.

How Does Ketamine Work?

Ketamine works by enhancing neural connectivity in mood-regulating areas of the brain. It is believed to trigger a surge of glutamate, leading to the rapid formation of new synaptic connections. This helps “reset” brain circuits affected by depression and anxiety. Administered in a low dose under sedation, the patient remains relaxed yet aware. The infusion usually lasts 40–60 minutes, and effects are often noticeable within hours to a few days. Side effects may include nausea, mild hallucinations, or disorientation—but these typically wear off shortly after treatment. The treatment is performed in a controlled, professional setting to ensure safety at every step.

Ketamine can help treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, chronic pain, and bipolar disorder. It’s also used for treatment-resistant conditions that don’t respond well to other therapies.

Ketamine has a high success rate, but results can vary. Your response depends on your condition and personal biology. Most people see improvement after a few treatments.

Yes, ketamine infusions can help with chronic pain, especially for conditions like fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, or CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome). It works by resetting pain pathways in your brain.

Yes, ketamine has been shown to reduce symptoms of PTSD, OCD, and bipolar disorder by helping regulate brain activity and restoring balance to brain chemicals.

Some people feel relief within hours of their first treatment, while others need a few sessions to notice improvement. It varies for each person.

Most people start with a series of 6 infusions over 2-3 weeks. Maintenance infusions may be needed later, depending on how you respond.

Not usually. You should discuss all medications with your doctor to ensure there are no interactions, but most people can continue their current treatments.

Some clinics offer payment plans or financial assistance programs. You can also check with your insurance or research programs that help cover mental health care costs.

A typical ketamine infusion session lasts about 1-2 hours, including prep and recovery time.

Ketamine works differently than traditional treatments. It targets glutamate, a brain chemical involved in mood and pain regulation, helping to repair damaged neural connections.

Ketamine can be addictive when abused recreationally. However, in a medical setting, the doses are controlled, and the risk of addiction is very low.

Ketamine is not commonly tested for in standard workplace drug tests. However, you can disclose your treatment to your employer if you’re concerned.

IV ketamine is administered through a vein and is often used off-label. Spravato is a nasal spray approved by the FDA specifically for treatment-resistant depression.
