Ketamine Treatments generally last 2 to 21/2 hours.
Ketamine Treatments use an oral form of Ketamine called Troches that dissolve in the mouth over a period of 20 minutes. The other form of Ketamine is a rapid acting, liquid Nasal Spray, that can be combined with the oral form of the medication.
The process begins with a 15-minute, virtual, medical screening by a Nurse Practitioner.
Once cleared by the Nurse Practitioner, a prescription is sent to a pharmacy that will fill the prescription and send it to your home address.
Patients bring their medication with them to their treatment sessions and use it under the supervision of a licensed Psychotherapist who is certified in both Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Ketamine Assisted Therapy.
Prior to each treatment session, patients establish an intension for their session or "journey". Therapy is conducted during the session as challenging sub-conscious material emerges. Integration of what was discovered is processed. A plan is generated for applying the discoveries to the patient's life, following each treatment.
Current research-based treatment protocols include six successive Ketamine Treatments, conducted in one-week intervals, over a period of six weeks.
The process is repeated 6 times. Patients determine if they have reached their treatment goals and begin to apply their new discoveries to their life by making the changes revealed to them during the treatment process (much like having a life altering, unforgettable and undeniable intense dream).
Patients also have the option to micro-dose the medication both between treatments and following the 6-treatment protocol. If desired, the Nurse Practitioner will reorder the medication at the conclusion of the protocol in the follow-up interview.
Some patients may seek an additional 6-week protocol shortly after or several months after their initial treatment, depending on their level of severity. Others may desire another protocol within 6 months to a year and some may find that one protocol is sufficient to satisfy their treatment goals.
The cost for one protocol of six Ketamine Treatments is $2,400.00
The cost of the medical screening and post protocol follow-up interview is $350.00.
The total cost of both forms of the Ketamine Medication is approximately $150.00.
Treatment can be performed in-person or virtually. If done in-person, patients are not allowed to drive until they have waited at least one hour after their treatment. Having a ride afterward is preferred. If virtual treatment is desired, a "safety-sitter" is required to be present during the treatment to assist with any physical needs that may arise.
A superbill will be provided for those seeking insurance reimbursement.
