What is ketamine IV infusion therapy?
Ketamine IV Infusion Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment designed to stimulate healthy neurotransmitters, restore neural connections, and support mental wellness. It's delivered directly into the bloodstream via an intravenous infusion — a method known for its rapid absorption, precise dosing, and reliable results.
Why choose IV infusion therapy?
- Fast-acting relief: Many patients report improved mood and overall well-being within hours of their first treatment.
- Safety & tolerability: Administered in-office under medical supervision, with vital signs monitored throughout the ~40-minute infusion.
- Non-addictive alternative: A safe option when compared to conventional pharmacotherapies.
- Real-time control: We control the dose drop-by-drop and can adjust in real time — often the right starting point for severe or treatment-resistant cases.

What a session looks like
You'll settle into a reclining chair in our calm, private treatment room. A medical provider places a small IV and slowly administers a sub-anesthetic dose over about 40 minutes while continuously monitoring your vitals. Most patients describe the experience as a quiet, dream-like detachment from worry. You remain awake and aware, and the effects fade quickly after the infusion ends.
