Frequently Asked Questions
Is ketamine therapy safe?
When administered in a controlled, clinical setting, ketamine therapy is considered safe and well-tolerated. At our clinic, each session is carefully monitored by medical staff, and your vital signs are checked before and after treatment. We also screen every patient to determine if ketamine is appropriate based on medical and psychiatric history.
What’s the difference between IV and intranasal ketamine?
IV ketamine is administered through an intravenous infusion over 40 minutes, providing precise dosing and rapid onset.
Intranasal ketamine is a nasal spray administered in-clinic under supervision. It’s less invasive but still effective for many patients. Both options include post-treatment observation and monitoring to ensure safety and comfort.
How long do the effects last?
Most patients begin to notice symptom improvement after completing the 6-session induction phase over two weeks. For long-term results, many patients continue with maintenance treatments every 2–6 weeks. The duration of benefit can vary depending on the condition being treated and individual response.
Is ketamine therapy covered by insurance?
IV ketamine and compounded intranasal ketamine are not currently covered by insurance. However, we offer affordable self-pay pricing, with intranasal treatments starting at $200 per session.
If you prefer an insurance-covered option, ask us about Spravato®, which is FDA-approved and widely covered.
