FAQs
What is Ketamine Infusion Therapy (KIT)?
Ketamine Infusion Therapy is an advanced treatment where low doses of ketamine are administered intravenously to help alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. Nugen Medicine uses carefully calibrated protocols for safe, effective delivery under the supervision of trained professionals.
How does ketamine work for mental health conditions?
Ketamine affects the glutamate system in the brain, which plays a key role in mood regulation and neural communication. It promotes synaptic plasticity, helping to “reset” brain pathways affected by depression or trauma. Our expert team applies this mechanism to help patients experience rapid relief, even when other treatments have failed.
What conditions can be treated with Ketamine Infusion Therapy at Nugen Medicine?
Our Ketamine Infusion Therapy helps treat major depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain disorders like fibromyalgia or CRPS. We offer a personalized care plan to address your specific diagnosis and needs.
Who is a good candidate for Ketamine Infusion Therapy?
KIT is typically recommended for individuals who haven’t responded to traditional treatments like SSRIs or therapy. We perform an in-depth medical and psychological evaluation to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.
What should I expect during a ketamine infusion session?
During a session, you’ll be in a comfortable, monitored setting. A low dose of ketamine is infused slowly over 40–60 minutes while our trained professionals keep an eye on your condition and comfort. Most patients experience mild dissociation or dream-like sensations, which fade after the session.
Is Ketamine Infusion Therapy safe?
When administered in a controlled medical setting like Nugen Medicine, ketamine is very safe. We follow strict clinical protocols, and our experienced providers continuously monitor your vitals and reactions throughout the treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
A typical treatment plan includes 6 initial infusions over 2–3 weeks, followed by maintenance infusions as needed. We adjust your schedule based on your progress and response to the therapy.
Will I feel results immediately after the infusion?
Many patients feel an improvement in mood or pain relief within hours or a day after their first few infusions. Results can vary, but we observe your body’s response to the treatment and tweak your care plan for the best benefits.
How long do the benefits last?
Some patients experience weeks or even months of relief after a series of treatments. We offer ongoing support and booster sessions to help maintain long-term mental wellness.
Will I be awake during the infusion?
Yes, you will remain awake but deeply relaxed. Some patients experience altered perceptions or a light dissociative state. Our clinical team is trained to keep your experience both safe and supportive.
Are there side effects?
Possible side effects include nausea, dizziness, or mild dissociation, which usually resolve shortly after the infusion. We provide on-site monitoring and post-treatment care to help you recover smoothly.
Can I drive after the treatment?
No. You will need someone to drive you home, as ketamine can impair your coordination and reflexes for a few hours. Our staff will advise and support you with clear post-care instructions after each visit.
Is Ketamine Infusion Therapy covered by insurance?
Unfortunately, most insurance plans do not currently cover ketamine therapy for mental health use. However, Nugen Medicine offers transparent pricing and flexible payment options to make treatment more accessible.
