Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that has been in wide use around the world in operating rooms and trauma fields for nearly 60 years. Ketamine infusion has been studied as an alternative treatment used for refractory depression, chronic pain syndromes, post-traumatic stress disorder, OCD, and many other conditions with great success.
Although Ketamine is FDA-approved its use in these conditions is “off-label” and it is currently not covered by insurance. while thousands of patients are having success with this treatment there is no guarantee implied or otherwise or relief of pain or depressive symptoms
Ketamine treatment is typically given in a series of infusions, with each infusion lasting for about an hour. The number of infusions needed and the frequency of maintenance infusions will vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s response to the treatment.
For example, ketamine treatment for depression may last for a few weeks, while ketamine treatment for chronic pain may last for months or even years. Some people may need to have maintenance infusions on a regular basis to maintain their improvement.
A referral from your therapist, counselor, chronic pain, psychiatric or medical doctor is necessary and you will be required to maintain ongoing regular contact with them throughout your course of treatment. Self-referral will be considered with approval by a documented medical diagnosis.
