KETAMINE THERAPY
KETAMINE FOR TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION
Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) refers to depressive disorders, such as Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder, that have not responded adequately to at least two antidepressant treatments.
Over the past 20 years, research has consistently demonstrated that low-dose ketamine, administered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM), can rapidly alleviate depressive symptoms in patients whose depression has been otherwise unresponsive to conventional treatments.

OUR KETAMINE TREATMENT PROTOCOL
Ketamine treatment at Aspire Medical Group consists of an initial series of six treatments over two weeks. During this period, our team will:
Following the initial phase, our mental health specialists will follow up with you and your provider to assess your progress and determine whether maintenance infusions are necessary.
CareCredit financing is available for those who qualify.
Here's everything you need to know about your Ketamine treatment appointment and process.
If you do not have a primary mental health provider, our psychiatric provider will complete an initial evaluation to determine if you are a candidate for ketamine therapy. Prior to the initial evaluation, you will receive initial screening packet to be completed prior to your initial evaluation.
In the second phase of the screening process, you will be contacted to
schedule your initial clinical interview and potential treatment date.
For your comfort and ease during your ketamine treatment, we recommend
wearing comfortable, short-sleeve clothing. Since you will be reclining in an infusion chair, we need easy access to your arms for IV placement OR IM injection and blood pressure (BP) checks throughout your session.
Seasonal Recommendations:
🩳 Warmer months: A short-sleeve shirt is ideal.
🩳 Colder months: Wear a zip-up jacket or sweater over a short-sleeve shirt so you can stay warm while still allowing access to your arms.
During your session, you can rest quietly or listen to soft music—whatever helps you feel most relaxed.

Plan to be here for about 2 hours when you are scheduled for infusions.
Infusion treatments take anywhere from 45-55 minutes, with a 30-minute
post-infusion observance period.
One of the main disorders being depression that is unresponsive to psychotherapy and antidepressant medications, also known as "Treatment Resistant Depression".
When many physicians or patients hear about or experience treatment-resistant depression (TRD), they think about resorting to Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT).
But what more and more patients and clinicians are coming to discover is that Ketamine infusions are showing many promising results as the go-to therapy to treatment-resistant depression.
Following weeks of shock therapy, patients are often then placed on one to several specific antidepressant medications while transitioning from their inpatient therapy to more of an outpatient management style of oversight.
We want to know your needs exactly so that we can provide the perfect solution. Let us know what you want and we’ll do our best to help.
