Boundaries: Part Two
At low dose levels, Ketamine has proven to redevelop the neural pathways in your brain that have been damaged by chronic pain and depression. There is hope. There is help.
Ketamine Wellness Centers prides itself on being the first clinic to incorporate psychological testing and evaluation with the precision of anesthesiology. We charge a $100 fee for screenings which is taken at the time the appointment is made. We require a 24-hour notice for cancellation or rescheduling of the screening or the fee will not be refunded.
Once we receive the three forms in Step 1 we will contact you to arrange payment and schedule your screening. The screening consists of:
An online psychological assessment.
A psychological history review with one of our mental health professionals.
A medical history review with our treatment staff where you will also learn about the treatment, what to expect to feel during the treatment, side effects, and ideal outcomes.
Note: This process can be completed at the office or via a secured web conferencing system if you are unable to come to the office.
All information is reviewed by our Board Certified Anesthesiologist MD’s. Once medically approved for treatment, a calendar will be set up based on patient and clinic availability.
Once you are medically approved for treatment we will schedule your first series of stabilization treatments. The schedule for treatments is different for pain patients and depression patients.
Depression
Depression patients will schedule a series of four treatments in two weeks every other day. This is typically Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and the following Monday. For patients traveling from out of state we can arrange the stabilization treatments for Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, to lessen the travel time.
The maintenance schedule varies for each patient but the typical schedule is ten days out from the last Stabilization treatment, then another 2-3 weeks and then monthly. The maintenance schedule will vary based on the patient’s needs with the goal of progressing into longer intervals between treatments.
Pain
Patients receiving treatments for pain syndromes schedule a stabilization series of three infusions in a row. The maintenance schedule is then based on remission and the patient’s need for additional treatments.

Ketamine Wellness Centers
Ketamine Wellness Center’s mission is to provide personalized, high-quality care for people suffering from afflictions where Ketamine infusions have proven a successful treatment option while actively researching Ketamine’s efficacy to treat additional conditions.
The clinical program at Ketamine Wellness Centers is one of few, if not the only clinic, which combines the diagnostic tools of mental health professionals with the precision of the anesthesia community.
The combination of those two professions allows us to evaluate patients and determine how effective Ketamine treatment may be for you or your loved one. We recognize Ketamine treatments are only part of a patient’s road to recovery and for a patient to truly be successful they will need to seek additional therapy and support in conjunction with improving their life skills through exercise, diet, and focus on wellness.
Ketamine can restore your function so you are finally able to pursue all those avenues of healing.
What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a Schedule III anesthetic agent. It was first developed in 1962 and later FDA approved for clinical use in 1970 primarily for use during the Vietnam War. Ketamine has had a tainted history because, much like similar medications that can cause dissociative effects, Ketamine became a drug of abuse (Special K). However Ketamine continued to be a successful anesthetic being used in hospitals, dentist offices and medical practices with an excellent safety record.
In the past 5 – 7 years Ketamine was identified as having beneficial effects on patients with depression, suicidal ideations and certain neuro-pathic pain syndromes. A large number of very reputable hospitals and organizations have studied Ketamine’s effectiveness in these areas and have shown very promising results.
Unfortunately, since Ketamine is out of it’s patent period the race is on to replicate Ketamine’s effectiveness into a new, marketable medication.
The treatment is here and available now. There is hope. There is help.
