The Ketamine Infusion Treatment Process at Good Health Clinic
At Good Health Psychiatry Clinic, our commitment to your comfort and safety is paramount throughout every step of the treatment process. The journey begins with an initial consultation, during which every new patient undergoes a thorough assessment. This evaluation is crucial as it helps our specialists determine whether ketamine infusion therapy is a suitable and safe treatment option based on your specific medical history and current health status.
Following the consultation, if ketamine infusion therapy is deemed appropriate, we move on to developing a customized treatment plan.

Our approach is not one-size-fits-all; we consider various factors including the severity of symptoms, previous treatments, and personal health goals. This bespoke planning ensures that each patient receives the most effective and responsive treatment possible.
The core of our treatment process is the supervised infusion sessions. Each ketamine infusion is administered in a controlled, clinical environment by our highly qualified medical staff. Our team monitors the patient closely throughout the infusion process to ensure optimal safety and comfort. The administration of the therapy under such vigilant supervision is fundamental to the efficacy of the treatment and the well-being of our patients. Through this comprehensive and attentive approach, we strive to provide a treatment experience that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of those we serve, paving the way for significant improvements in their mental health.

FAQs About Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Ketamine infusion therapy involves administering a controlled dose of ketamine intravenously to treat various mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. This therapy is known for its rapid action and effectiveness, especially in cases where traditional treatments have failed.
Ketamine infusion therapy is suitable for adults who have been diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression, severe anxiety, PTSD, or chronic pain conditions. An initial consultation and thorough assessment are required to determine if ketamine therapy is appropriate for a patient.
Due to the nature of the treatment and its potential side effects, we recommend that patients arrange for transportation following their infusion sessions. It is also advisable to avoid work or operating heavy machinery until you fully understand how you respond to the treatment.
Unlike traditional antidepressants that primarily work through the serotonin system, ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors and activating AMPA receptors, which results in the release of other molecules that help neurons communicate along new pathways. This is thought to affect mood, thought patterns, and cognition differently and more rapidly than typical antidepressants.
Patients are advised to avoid eating or drinking for at least 6 hours before their infusion to reduce the risk of nausea. It’s also helpful to come to the session well-rested and to arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
