Ketamine Infusion Therapy for Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD

What is Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that has shown promising results in managing treatment-resistant depression (TRD), anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Originally developed as an anesthetic, ketamine is now used in controlled, low-dose intravenous (IV) infusions for mental health conditions that haven’t responded to traditional treatments.
Unlike typical antidepressants that can take weeks to work, ketamine infusion therapy may offer rapid symptom relief sometimes within hours to days.

How Ketamine Infusion Works

Ketamine works by blocking the NMDA receptor in the brain. This action leads to:

  • Increased neural connectivity
  • Formation of new neural pathways
  • Improved mood regulation
  • Enhanced cognitive function
  • Reduced perception of pain

This mechanism supports the restoration of brain function, making it easier for
individuals to manage their depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

Benefits of Ketamine Infusion Therapy

  • Rapid relief of depressive symptoms
  • Effective for treatment-resistant depression
  • Can reduce symptoms of PTSD and severe anxiety
  • Enhances results when combined with psychotherapy (such as CBT)
  • Customized treatment plans for long-term relief

What to Expect: Initial Loading Dose

At Method Wellness and Infusion, your ketamine treatment begins with a loading dose phase consisting of 6–10 infusions over 3–4 weeks. During this phase, many patients experience:

  • Significant mood improvement
  • Decreased anxiety
  • Reduced intrusive thoughts related to PTSD
  • Improved functionality in daily life

Our team monitors your progress closely to tailor the treatment to your unique needs.

Maintenance Ketamine Treatments

Following the initial loading series, we offer maintenance infusions to help prevent relapse and sustain symptom relief.
Two Main Maintenance Options:

  1. Scheduled Maintenance Infusions
    • Typically, every 3–4 weeks
    • Best for ongoing symptom prevention 
  2. As-Needed Booster Infusions
    • Patients reach out when symptoms return
    • Usually 2–6 infusions depending on individual response

Symptom relief may last anywhere from 4 weeks to 3–4 months or longer, depending on your biology, lifestyle, and support system.

Is Ketamine Therapy Right for You?

Ketamine infusion therapy is not a first-line treatment. It’s ideal for patients who have tried other therapies without success, including:

  • Multiple antidepressants
  • Talk therapy
  • Alternative mental health treatments

Our approach at Method Wellness and Infusion is highly individualized we assess your history, goals, and response to initial treatment to create a custom ketamine therapy plan that works for you.

All infusions are administered under the close supervision of trained medical professionals
in a safe and calming environment.

Continue Mental Health Support

Even while undergoing ketamine maintenance therapy, it’s crucial to:

  • Maintain ongoing therapy with your regular mental health provider
  • Stay on prescribed medications unless advised otherwise
  • Use CBT or mindfulness-based therapy to process experiences and build coping strategies
