Why Ketamine?

Dr. John Laura uses a multi-discipline, holistic approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical treatments with complementary and alternative therapies. It emphasizes the whole person and the interaction between the body, mind, and spirit. Ketamine has proven to be a key component in the mental and emotional side of a holistic approach to feeling your best.

Rapid Symptom Relief

Studies have shown that up to 70% of treatment-resistant depression patients may experience noticeable improvements within 24 hours of their first infusion.

Unique Mechanism of Action

Unlike SSRIs that primarily affect serotonin levels, IV ketamine therapy modulates the glutamate system, potentially fostering longer-lasting neurochemical changes.

Hope for Hard-to-Treat Cases

Ketamine can be especially beneficial for individuals who haven’t responded to traditional treatments like antidepressants or talk therapy. It can also work in compliment with these and other therapies under doctor supervision.

Quick Reduction in Severe Ideation

Research, including a 2018 review in JAMA Psychiatry, indicates ketamine’s rapid benefits in alleviating severe depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts.

Professional Supervision and Safety

Administered by trained medical professionals, IV ketamine therapy ensures close monitoring for side effects while maintaining patient comfort and well-being.

Ketamine FAQ's

What Is Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine therapy involves administering low doses of ketamine, a medication typically used as an anesthetic, to treat mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain.

Ketamine works by interacting with glutamate receptors in the brain, promoting neuroplasticity and facilitating the growth of new neural connections. This can help alleviate symptoms by quickly addressing the underlying imbalances in brain chemistry.

Ketamine therapy with our practice must be combined with therapy. This powerful combination allows you to process your experiences, address underlying issues, and develop coping mechanisms. Psychotherapy provides a supportive framework for integrating insights gained during your ketamine sessions and creating long-term strategies for managing your mental health. We require ongoing therapy and can provide referrals to qualified therapists, if needed. We will then collaborate with your therapist to ensure a seamless and integrated treatment plan.

When administered by qualified medical professionals in a controlled setting, ketamine is generally safe. Side effects are typically mild and short-lived, such as dizziness, nausea, or increased blood pressure.

No, ketamine is not considered addictive when used as prescribed for therapeutic purposes.

Ketamine therapy has shown promise in treating:

    • Treatment-resistant depression
    • Anxiety disorders (e.g., PTSD, social anxiety)
    • Chronic pain conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain)
    • Suicidal ideation
    • OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)

The number of treatments varies depending on the individual and their specific condition. A typical course of treatment will usually involve 6 infusions twice a week, then a maintenance program will be determined.

Common side effects include:

    • Dizziness
    • Nausea
    • Increased blood pressure
    • Mild hallucinations (often visual)
    • Increased heart rate
    • These side effects are usually temporary and subside shortly after the infusion.

You will lie down comfortably in a private room while the ketamine is administered intravenously. A medical professional will monitor you throughout the infusion and ensure your safety and comfort.

No. You should arrange for a designated driver to take you home after your infusion. The effects of ketamine can last for several hours, and it is important to avoid driving or operating machinery during this time.

The cost of ketamine therapy can vary depending on the number of treatments required and other factors. Insurance coverage may vary, so it’s important to check with your insurance provider.

Please get in touch with us so that we can help you understand your options and the potential costs.

Ketamine therapy may be compatible with other medications but it is crucial to inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are currently taking, as some may interact with ketamine.

Ketamine therapy may be a good option for you if you have found that other treatments have not helped or if you would like to explore alternatives to more common treatment types. You will need to consult with our professionals who can help evaluate your particular situation and whether or not ketamine therapy may be right for you.

Why Vitamin Infusions?

Potentially Accelerated Relief Compared to Ketamine Alone

Ketamine offers rapid alleviation of depressive symptoms, while vitamin infusions may help restore physical vitality, accelerating the overall sense of improvement and compounding the sense of relief from heavy feelings that come with depression.

Holistic Support

Addressing both emotional and physical needs provides a more comprehensive approach to recovery than focusing solely on mood-related therapies.

Synergistic Boost

Essential nutrients support healthy brain function, potentially enhancing ketamine’s positive effects on neuronal pathways.

Improved Energy & Vitality

Correcting vitamin deficiencies can combat fatigue and low energy, helping patients maintain engagement in daily activities and supportive therapies.

Enhanced Mood Stabilization

Physical well-being often contributes to emotional stability, which in turn can help sustain the mood-enhancing benefits of ketamine over time.
