Ketamine Therapy
Infusion therapy with ketamine is a progressive treatment option for both pain management and mental health concerns, offering relief where other methods may have failed.
Background on Ketamine:
- Origins and Research: Initially developed for anesthesia, ketamine has undergone extensive research and has shown significant promise. It’s recently been approved for treating conditions like treatment-resistant depression among other mental health issues.
- Treatment Plan: Ketamine therapy typically begins with a series of six infusions. To maintain its effectiveness and keep symptoms at bay, a booster dose is administered every 2-5 weeks. It’s also highly effective in managing acute and chronic pain.
Enhancing Ketamine Therapy:
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): To boost the effectiveness of ketamine, especially for mental health and pain, we recommend pre-treatment with hyperbaric oxygen. This enhances your brain’s ability to respond to ketamine by increasing oxygen levels in the bloodstream and brain tissues.
- Somatoemotional Release: Following the ketamine infusion, a somatoemotional release session can be critical. This therapy helps process any underlying emotional trauma that might be contributing to your symptoms, paving the way for more substantial and lasting benefits.
Comprehensive Treatment Packages:
- We offer integrated treatment packages that combine all three modalities: ketamine infusions, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and somatoemotional release. This comprehensive approach is designed to provide long-lasting relief and improve overall well-being.
This integrated treatment strategy aims to address both the physiological and psychological aspects of pain and mental health, ensuring a holistic path to recovery.
Certainly, ketamine is also effective as a standalone treatment. Even without the addition of therapies like hyperbaric oxygen or somatoemotional release, ketamine alone can significantly alleviate symptoms in conditions related to chronic pain and treatment-resistant mental health issues. This allows for flexibility in treatment plans based on individual needs and preferences.
Initial Treatment Series:
- Cost: The initial set of six infusions ranges from $2,000 to $3,000.
Maintenance Infusions:
- Cost Per Session: Each follow-up infusion costs $400 to $500.
- Frequency: Maintenance infusions are recommended every 2-5 weeks to maintain effectiveness. Over time, and with additional treatments, the intervals between infusions may be extended, potentially reducing costs and visits.
This structured approach allows for effective long-term management of symptoms.
