Ketamine Infusion Therapy

What Is Ketamine Infusion Therapy?

Ketamine infusion therapy is an FDA-approved treatment for psychiatric disorders where an anesthetic drug, Ketamine, is administered through a vein in a single infusion or a series of infusions.

Created in the 1960s for anesthesia, it started gaining attention for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD) patients, as well as chronic and post-operative pain control. Ketamine infusion therapy is not a primary therapy but rather is recommended to the patient when normal treatment doesn’t work.

How does Ketamine Treatment Work?

ketamine is a medication that blocks N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor to induce and maintain anesthesia by increasing glutamate levels, a neurotransmitter, and the brain’s strongest chemical messenger. During ketamine infusion, glutamate levels increase and start strengthening those regions of the brain that are most damaged by depression.

The growth of new connections between neurons (a process called synaptogenesis) takes place as the brain signal changes. This helps “rewire” the brain and improve mental health conditions as a result of successful ketamine therapy for depression, OCD, and PTSD.

When administered in low doses, ketamine infusion can produce rapid and significant improvement in symptoms within a few hours or days, resulting in a big impact on brain cells using a single dose.

What Happens During a Ketamine Treatment Session?

Our certified medical personnel perform Ketamine infusion management in a tidy clinic setting due to the fact that it is intravenous (IV) and is a controlled substance. At Mid Cities Psychiatry, our ketamine infusion therapy lasts for 40 minutes, and an entire session duration time is around 1-2 hours. First, you will be given a cozy chair. The doctor will let you know when the therapy will begin. Once you feel content and relaxed physically and mentally, the treatment starts. At the start of the ketamine therapy, you may experience feeling faint, light or maybe slightly warm. You also might feel your legs and hands getting disconnected or being far away from each other. Others might feel separate from their thoughts, feelings, or senses. These feelings are called the dissociative effects of Ketamine. During the ketamine infusion, the sensation is bearable as most patients claim the experience as ‘pleasurable’ and ‘spiritual.’ Some patients who are severely suffering from depression and anxiety feel less affected by their negative symptoms, while certain patients describe the moment as an immense relief.

What Is the Average Period of Ketamine Treatment?

The typical ketamine treatment course covers six intravenous (IV) ketamine infusions over 3 weeks, meaning 2 infusions in a single week.

During your initial appointment, our medical provider will go over the details. In case your symptoms are relieved right after the first therapy, then our service provider will arrange follow-up checkups.

During the checkups at our ketamine clinic, our medical provider determines long-term ketamine anxiety treatment plans as required.

If our medical provider believes maintenance treatments will help, you may need to come in for an infusion every two to four weeks.

Any issues I've experienced with billing have been handled gracefully and with patience; the staff are very easy to talk to and are understanding. I LOVE PA Hofer; she (and other staff) are always very quick to answer online Portal questions, are very flexible with visits, understand when it comes to medication costs/changes, and go the extra step when it comes to evidence-based practice.

I've been taking my mom to Dr. Kazi for the past 17 months and we still go. She is an amazing physician and her staff is very warm and welcoming. She has helped my mom when mom needed her the most. If it was not for Dr. Kazi's, I don't know what would have happened to my mom. I am so grateful to her. The bonus is her staff is awesome. Very response to emails and phone calls. Amanda is amazing!! I can't thank Dr. Kazi enough!!
