Ketamine Infusion Therapy: Who Should Consider It and What to Expect

At Oasis Therapeutics, we offer Ketamine Infusion Therapy as an innovative treatment option for individuals seeking relief from various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, as well as chronic pain. In this blog article, we explore who could benefit from Ketamine Infusion Therapy and provide insights into what the treatment experience may feel like.

Who Should Consider Ketamine Infusion Therapy?

Treatment-Resistant Depression: Ketamine Infusion Therapy has shown promising results for individuals with treatment-resistant depression who have not responded to conventional treatments like medications or therapy.

Anxiety Disorders: Those with anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, PTSD, and OCD, may find relief through Ketamine Infusion Therapy.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Ketamine Infusion Therapy has emerged as a potential treatment option for individuals struggling with PTSD, especially those who have not experienced significant improvement with other therapies.

Chronic Pain Conditions: Ketamine Infusion Therapy has demonstrated efficacy in managing chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), neuropathic pain, and other forms of chronic pain that have not responded to traditional treatments.

What Does Ketamine Infusion Therapy Feel Like?

During a Ketamine Infusion Therapy session, patients typically experience a sense of relaxation and detachment from their surroundings. Some may also have a mild dissociative experience, which can include changes in perception and temporary alterations in thoughts or sensations. However, the treatment is well-tolerated, and patients are monitored closely by our experienced medical professionals to ensure safety and comfort.

The effects of Ketamine Infusion Therapy can vary from person to person. While some individuals may experience rapid relief and an improvement in their symptoms after the first few sessions, others may require a series of treatments to observe significant benefits.

It is important to note that Ketamine Infusion Therapy is not a standalone treatment but rather a part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Our team at Oasis Therapeutics works closely with each patient to develop an individualized treatment approach tailored to their specific needs.

Ketamine Infusion Therapy offers hope for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, and chronic pain. While the treatment experience may vary, our dedicated team at Oasis Therapeutics is committed to providing safe, compassionate, and effective care throughout the journey.
