Ketamine Therapy at Zeam Health & Wellness

Ketamine therapy is revolutionizing mental health care by offering fast-acting relief for conditions like treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and anxiety disorders. At Zeam Health & Wellness, we prioritize your mental well-being with personalized Ketamine treatments that target these complex conditions. Our approach combines medical expertise with compassionate care, ensuring that each treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your specific needs.

What Is Ketamine Therapy and How Does it Work?

Ketamine therapy has a long history of use, originally as an anesthetic. However, it’s now being utilized for its rapid-acting antidepressant effects. The treatment involves administering low doses of Ketamine, usually through an IV infusion, under close medical supervision. 

Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain, which leads to increased levels of glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation and neural connectivity. This process stimulates the growth of new synapses, repairing damaged connections and promoting mental health recovery.

During the infusion, patients typically relax in a controlled environment where they are closely monitored. The session usually lasts about 40 minutes to an hour, and patients might experience mild dissociation or other transient side effects, which subside shortly after the treatment.

The fast-acting nature of Ketamine allows for significant symptom relief, often within hours or days, making it especially valuable for those with treatment-resistant conditions.

Preparing for Ketamine Therapy

At Zeam Health & Wellness, we ensure that your Ketamine treatment is safe, effective, and tailored to your needs. Proper preparation is essential for the best possible outcomes, so we’ve outlined what to expect before, during, and after your treatment.

To ensure you’re fully prepared, start by scheduling your appointments well in advance. During your initial consultation, which lasts one hour and costs $250 (credited toward your first treatment), we’ll conduct a thorough medical and psychiatric screening. This ensures that Ketamine is a safe option for you and provides an opportunity to discuss the treatment details.

You should inform us about any medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, especially if there have been any changes since your initial consultation. Follow our specific instructions regarding which medications to continue or temporarily discontinue before your session. Avoid taking any sedatives, such as benzodiazepines or opiates, unless we explicitly direct you to do so on the day of your treatment. Additionally, refrain from using recreational drugs as they could make the treatment unsafe.

Physically prepare by getting a good night’s sleep before treatment and staying hydrated the day before and the morning of your appointment. Arrange reliable transportation to and from our clinic, as you won’t be able to drive after your session.

On the day of your treatment, arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork and settle in. We’ll update your provider on any changes in your medication or daily life since your last visit. If you have a loved one accompanying you, they can sit close by during your treatment.

Go to the bathroom just before your session begins to ensure comfort. You should avoid eating solid foods for at least four hours before your appointment, though clear liquids like water or herbal tea are allowed up to two hours prior. Also, steer clear of caffeine and alcohol for 24 hours before your session.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes, and bring an extra layer like a sweater or jacket, as the treatment room may be cool. Mentally prepare yourself to embrace the range of emotions you might experience during the session. Bring personal comfort items, such as a favorite blanket or pillow, and consider listening to relaxing music without recognizable words to enhance the therapeutic process.

Communication is key during your Ketamine treatment. We encourage you to openly discuss how you’re feeling physically and emotionally with our staff. Our goal is to make you as comfortable as possible, and we’ll do our best to accommodate any special requests. For example, if you find that an eye mask helps you relax, we can provide one, but only if you’re comfortable with it.

As the dissociation sets in, try to go with the flow and avoid resisting the experience, as this can increase anxiety. Our priority is your safety and comfort throughout the treatment.

After your Ketamine session, it’s crucial to allow time for recovery.

  • Eat if you feel up to it.
  • Ensure a support person is nearby for 12–24 hours post-treatment.
  • Focus on relaxing and calming activities for several days.
  • Engage with support groups or trusted friends.
  • Document your experience in a journal we will provide.
  • Continue taking prescribed medications as instructed.
  • Avoid alcohol, cannabis, and sedatives like opiates or benzodiazepines.
  • Attend follow-up appointments, especially if you feel worse before feeling better.
