Ketamine is such an exciting treatment option because of how quickly it acts. Many patients experience significant relief from their symptoms after their first treatment. More importantly, the healing is shown to expand with subsequent treatments. Compared to psychiatric medications and therapy that often take months or longer to be effective, Ketamine can provide rapid relief to those who have been suffering for years. New Pathways Clinic is happy to provide the fast acting healing properties of ketamine infusion treatments to our patients.
Backed by recent scientific evidence and professional experience, we know incorporating ketamine in treatment plans currently provides the best chance of achieving mental wellness. There has not been a widely adopted new treatment for mental illness in over 30 years, and far too many patients have not found relief from existing treatments. Ketamine treatment can be administered through IV infusions or the new Spravato Nasal Spray.
In treatment resistant populations, Ketamine has consistently shown to be 70% effective in significantly reducing depression and other psychiatric symptoms. Ketamine has even been shown to be 60% effective with patients who have not responded to ECT treatments. Ketamine is still new as a psychiatric treatment and is currently limited to those who have failed with at least two treatments. But for those who have been searching for a treatment that will finally work for them, Ketamine is a miraculous new option.
Like any medical treatment, Ketamine has varied effects on patients. Ketamine does more than just silence or numb symptoms, it actually repairs existing and grows new neural pathways in the brain. For 20% of patients it is such a potent healing experience that they no longer need ketamine again after the initial round of six infusions. For most patients, the symptom relief after the initial ketamine infusion treatment plan lasts for months and can be sustained with a single booster infusion once every few months until it is no longer needed. The effectiveness of ketamine treatments has been recorded in numerous research studies from some of the top medical providers in the country.
One of the most astounding qualities of Ketamine is how complex its effects on brain chemistry are. It works on many areas of the brain through multiple mechanisms. This results in it being incredibly effective at treating a wide variety of symptoms and conditions.
With a 70% success rate in significantly reducing depression and other symptoms, Ketamine infusions provide new hope for relief for those suffering from oppressive symptoms.
