Step 1: Intake Session In this session, you'll meet Dr. Drake and Jacqueline to discuss your treatment plan, address questions, and schedule future sessions. The session includes history-taking and concludes with a meditation led by Jacqueline, identifying key areas for ketamine support.
Step 2: Preparation Meeting Dr. Drake will explain the logistics of your first ketamine session, including arrival instructions, attire, fasting status, and medication adjustments. You'll learn about potential side effects and benefits, and set intentions for your treatment.

How does ketamine work?Ketamine repairs and enhances neural connectivity in the brain. Research has shown that repeated or prolonged exposure to stress (physical or emotional pain, fear, trauma) damages the connections between brain cells. Ketamine has been proven to help repair those damaged connections. Ketamine acts at many different sites in the brain. Although its mechanisms are not fully understood, current thinking supports the actions of ketamine on the surface of certain brain cells as responsible for its rapid and prolonged effects. Ketamine is an N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor blocker. Blocking this receptor allows for the increased release of glutamate, an abundant neurotransmitter responsible for several central nervous system functions.

How much does Ketamine therapy cost?The long-term costs for our treatment regimen is generally less than most centers because our approach involves fewer overall ketamine treatments. We offer financing for those who qualify. Patients who finance pay roughly $333 a month for 12 months.
