The Treatment Process

Assessment: The process begins with an initial consultation over video chat with Dr. Deroee. For mental health, an initial referral from your mental health care provider (your psychiatrist or other qualified medical professional) is required and needs to be received by our center before your initial consultation. Patients with chronic pain do not need a referral. During this consultation, your medical history, current symptoms, and previous treatment experiences will be discussed. 

Evaluation: Dr. Deroee evaluates whether you are a suitable candidate for ketamine therapy based on your condition and medical history. The potential risks, benefits, and expectations of treatment will be discussed and all your questions will be answers as you and Dr. Deroee are going to evaluate the options for your treatment plan.

Medical Clearance: Before starting ketamine therapy, medical clearance may be required to ensure that there are no underlying medical conditions or contraindications that could affect your treatment. 

Education: You will receive information about what to expect during the treatment sessions, including possible side effects and how to manage them.

Administration: Ketamine is typically administered in a controlled clinical setting. The method of administration is Intravenous (IV) Infusion, an efficient and precise approach where ketamine is delivered directly into the bloodstream through a vein in the arm. This method allows the physician to adjust the dosage in real-time, ensuring the treatment is personalized to each patient’s unique needs. Each session generally takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
This highlights both the efficiency and the adaptability of IV ketamine therapy.

Monitoring: Throughout the infusion or administration, you are going to be monitored to ensure your safety and comfort. Your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, etc.) may be checked.

Observation: After the ketamine session, you are going to be monitored for a period to ensure there are no immediate adverse effects and to assess your response to the treatment.

Support: Clinics often provide a supportive environment post- treatment to help manage any lingering effects such as dissociation or dizziness.

Follow-Up: Regular over the phone follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor your progress, adjust treatment as needed, and provide ongoing support. We are going to be in touch with your mental health provider in regards to the progress.

Maintenance Therapy: Some patients may require ongoing or periodic ketamine treatments to maintain their therapeutic benefits.
