What is ketamine infusion therapy?

Ketamine infusion therapy is a treatment that infuses a medicine called ketamine directly into your bloodstream for quick absorption and optimal mental health. Ketamine is an anesthetic used for pain relief, but it also provides exceptional benefits for your mental health if traditional treatments haven’t worked.

Who benefits from ketamine infusion therapy?

Ketamine infusion therapy may be a good option when other treatments aren’t effective to reduce bothersome symptoms of:

• Ongoing stress
• Depression
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Anxiety
• Other stress-related disorders

Your provider may first suggest psychotherapy and other treatments before recommending ketamine infusion therapy, but it depends on your unique needs.

Is ketamine infusion therapy right for me?

Before personalizing a mental health treatment plan, the Foveo Healthcare specialists discuss your medical history, lifestyle, medications, and past treatments. They complete a psychiatric evaluation to assess your thoughts, mood, emotions, and more. 

Foveo Healthcare provides pharmacogenomics testing via blood tests, saliva tests, or cheek swabs to determine which medicines likely work best based on your genetic makeup.

What should I expect during ketamine infusion therapy?

You can complete ketamine infusion therapy at the Foveo Healthcare office. Simply relax in a comfortable chair while your specialist cleans the treatment area and gently inserts a tiny needle into one of your veins. They then infuse ketamine into your bloodstream while you relax, read, watch a movie, listen to music, or take a nap.

Ketamine infusion therapy often lasts about 40 minutes. You might feel euphoria or dream-like sensations during the treatment. 

What happens after ketamine infusion therapy?

After ketamine infusion therapy, you rest during a recovery period. The entire treatment process might last about 90 minutes. Make arrangements for someone to drive you home afterward. You may feel better with fewer symptoms of depression and other mental health conditions within a few hours of your first ketamine infusion.

The Foveo Healthcare team lets you know when to schedule your next ketamine treatment session to achieve optimal results.
