We are one of the very few Ketamine clinics who utilize in-house mental health professionals in the screening process to help ensure that this therapy is appropriate for any prospective patient. Our staff is available to support you throughout each step of this process so please don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance.
Once these forms are complete, hold tight. A KWC Patient Liaison will contact you shortly to move on to the next step: scheduling your screening.
Once we receive your patient intake forms, a Patient Liaison will contact you to arrange a screening, which consists of:
You will also learn more about the treatment protocol, what to expect during the infusion process, and ideal outcomes. Most steps in this process can be completed in person at your clinic of choice or remotely via phone or a secured web conferencing system.
Each intake is reviewed by Dr. Mark Murphy, our Board Certified Anesthesiologist, who will evaluate the information collected during the screening and make a recommendation for your treatment plan.
There is a $100 fee for a screening
Once you are medically approved for treatment, a Patient Liaison will schedule your first series of treatments. The first few treatments, which are condensed into 1-2 weeks, are known as the Stabilization Period. Ongoing treatments thereafter are known as the Maintenance Period. The schedule for treatment differs between patients seeking relief from mental health conditions vs. chronic pain conditions. Get more details about our treatment protocols below.
Below is our Ketamine treatment protocol for mental health conditions including Depression, PTSD, OCD, Bi-Polar Disorder, Anxiety, and Suicidal Ideation.
This period refers to the series of initial treatments which are condensed into 1-2 weeks.
| Infusion Duration | Number of Treatments | Length of Stabilization Period | Typical Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| One hour | 4-6 total *varies based on the results of your screening |
Within two weeks | Four total treatments with appointments scheduled on Mon, Wed, Fri, and the following Mon. |
This period refers to all ongoing treatments thereafter Stabilization.
The maintenance schedule varies for each patient but the typical schedule begins approximately ten days after the last Stabilization treatment. The next treatment occurs approximately one month after the Stabilization Period treatments. The KWC clinical staff will evaluate your progress closely afterwards. The maintenance schedule varies based on the patient’s needs with the goal of progressing into longer intervals between treatments.
Below is our Ketamine treatment protocol for chronic pain conditions including Neuropathic pain syndromes such as Fibrolmyalgia and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
This period refers to the series of initial treatments which are condensed into a single week.
| Infusion Duration | Number of Treatments | Length of Stabilization Period | Typical Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three hours & 45 minutes | 3-5 total *varies based on the results of your screening |
Within one week | Three total treatments with appointments scheduled on Mon, Tues, and Wed. |
This period refers to all ongoing treatments thereafter Stabilization.
The maintenance schedule thereafter consists of two additional consecutive treatments (two weeks after Stabilization), and then future treatments are based on remission and the patient’s need for additional treatments moving forward.
