Why Choose IV Ketamine Therapy?
Have you tried multiple antidepressants or therapies without success? You’re not alone—and there’s hope. IV Ketamine therapy has emerged as a powerful option for individuals with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and certain mood disorders. Unlike traditional antidepressants that may take weeks to work—if they work at all—IV Ketamine can provide relief within hours to days for many patients.
So, what makes it so effective? Ketamine works differently from standard antidepressants by targeting glutamate, a key neurotransmitter that supports mood regulation and brain plasticity. This unique action helps create new neural connections, effectively “rewiring” thought patterns and promoting emotional healing.
At Mindfulness Integrated Healthcare, we don’t just offer treatments—we provide hope grounded in science and compassion. As a certified Spravato REMS treatment provider, our team ensures safe, professional, and personalized care every step of the way.
What Can You Expect During an IV Ketamine Therapy Session?
If you’re wondering what a typical session looks like, here’s what you can expect:
- Comprehensive Evaluation
Before beginning treatment, you’ll undergo a thorough mental health assessment to determine if IV Ketamine therapy is appropriate for you. Your medical history and treatment goals will help guide a personalized care plan.
- Comfortable Clinical Setting
Sessions take place in a peaceful, medically supervised environment designed to promote relaxation. You’ll be monitored closely by trained healthcare professionals throughout your session.
- IV Infusion Process
The ketamine infusion is administered through a small IV line in your arm over a 40- to 60-minute period. Most patients report a calming, dreamlike experience during the treatment.
- Post-Session Monitoring
After your infusion, you’ll be monitored for about 30 to 60 minutes. Some people may feel a little disoriented or fatigued, which typically resolves within a few hours.
- Follow-Up and Care Planning
Ongoing sessions are typically recommended based on your progress. Many individuals receive multiple infusions over a few weeks, followed by maintenance sessions as needed.
Is IV Ketamine Right for You?
IV Ketamine isn’t for everyone—but it may be a life-changing option for those who have exhausted other mental health treatments without lasting success. If you or a loved one feels stuck in a cycle of depression or emotional numbness, Ketamine therapy could provide a new path forward. Talk to your healthcare provider about whether this option could be right for your individual situation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does IV Ketamine work for depression and anxiety?
IV Ketamine works by modulating the brain’s glutamate system, which helps restore healthy neural pathways and supports mood stabilization. This mechanism can rapidly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
How soon can I expect to feel better after treatment?
Some individuals begin to notice improvement within hours or days after their first infusion. However, optimal results typically occur after a series of treatments.
Are there any side effects of IV Ketamine therapy?
Side effects are generally mild and short-lived. Common effects include dizziness, nausea, dissociation, or mild hallucinations during the infusion. A medical team monitors you during every session to ensure safety.
Is IV Ketamine therapy safe?
When administered by trained professionals in a clinical setting, IV Ketamine therapy is considered safe. It’s FDA-approved in the form of Spravato (a nasal spray), and IV use is an off-label treatment supported by growing clinical research.
How many IV Ketamine sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary. A common initial protocol includes 6 infusions over 2–3 weeks, followed by maintenance treatments depending on individual needs and response.
Can I drive after an IV Ketamine session?
No. Due to potential side effects like drowsiness or disorientation, you should not drive or operate machinery after treatment. Arrange for someone to accompany you or provide transportation.
Is IV Ketamine covered by insurance?
Currently, most insurance plans do not cover IV Ketamine for depression, as it’s considered off-label. However, Spravato may be covered in some cases. It’s best to check with your provider for specific coverage options.
