Jill S.

The Drs, PAs and staff are beyond fantastic! So supportive and welcoming. I cannot imagine having a better experience elsewhere.

Sam F, LCSW

Since starting ketamine, my client, who was previously very withdrawn and depressed, has been more able to share his feelings, self-reflect, engage with the world, and, most importantly, he feels so much better. He is currently in the early stages of ketamine treatment, and I am looking forward with optimism to continuing this journey with […]

I have noticed so much improvement and it’s sustainable. I know that all my insight and progress will help me for the rest of my life – not just this moment in time. The ketamine treatments have definitely helped me more than anything else has in the past. Hands down this has been the most […]

The absence of negativity — that is by far the biggest difference in your daily experience, not having that hanging over your head all day.

They worked with my insurance and easily secured my medication and plotted out a timeline, while also connecting me with a therapist to help integrate all of the things I experience during my session.

Great Doctors and Staff! They made me feel relaxed and walked me throughout the whole process from start to finish. I am now on my 4th visit and could not be happier! This treatment is helping — can’t wait to see how I feel after the 8th and final treatment!

FAQs

Yes, when administered under medical supervision by trained physicians, ketamine therapy is safe. At Keta Medical Center, our team is led by emergency medicine physicians with extensive training, ensuring that every treatment adheres to the highest standards of medical safety.

Side effects may include mild nausea, dizziness, feelings of dissociation or increased blood pressure. These typically resolve shortly after the treatment session. Our medical team monitors patients closely during treatment to manage any side effects effectively.
Keta Medical Center offers 2 types of ketamine-based treatments for depression — Spravato (Esketamine) nasal spray and Intravenous Ketamine Infusions. As a physician-led mental health clinic, all sessions are supervised by trained clinicians to manage safety, dosing, and overall comfort. We also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and integrated psychiatric care to deliver an integrated treatment plan tailored to individual needs.

Ketamine therapy may be a good option for adults experiencing treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar depression, or other mood disorders that have not improved sufficiently with traditional treatments. 

Ketamine therapy may not be appropriate for individuals with uncontrolled hypertension, a history of aneurysm, active substance use disorder, or a history of psychosis (such as schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder). Ketamine is also generally not recommended during pregnancy. 

Because every patient’s medical and psychiatric history is unique, a Keta physician will conduct a comprehensive evaluation during the consultation process to determine whether ketamine therapy is a safe and appropriate option.

In most cases, you may continue your current antidepressants and ongoing psychotherapy while beginning ketamine treatment. We will review your specific medications during the intake to ensure safety. We strongly encourage coordination with your existing mental health providers because combining ketamine with psychotherapy often improves outcomes.
The overwhelming majority of Keta Medical Center’s patients are covered by insurance and pay $50 or less per treatment. Insurance coverage for depression depends on the type of ketamine treatment you receive: Spravato® (Esketamine) is FDA-approved and many insurance providers will cover it for depression when patients meet clinical criteria. Keta Medical Center will work with your insurer to complete the required prior authorization and provide documentation of your treatment history. IV Ketamine is considered an off-label treatment, so most insurance plans do not cover it. Therefore, it is typically an out-of-pocket service. Superbills for patients to submit to insurance providers are available.
