Ketamine Therapy Cost
&
Insurance Coverage in Colorado
Initial Treatment
Initial ketamine treatment usually begins with a series of visits, sometimes called the loading phase. Initially, during the loading phase of treatment, you will receive a series of intramuscular injections (IM) in the soft part of your shoulder with a tiny needle. We individualize your treatment plan based on your evaluation and your response. Our primary goal is always safety and rapidly relieving
suffering
Your clinician determines the number of injections per visit and the number and spacing of visits based on your evaluation, your response and your safety, and reassesses your plan as you go. This series of injections can build on each other based on your response to treatment and ensuring your safety in outpatient clinical setting. We will also closely monitor your relief, safety, and tolerance to each dose. We space treatments with your relief and safety in mind.
Research on ketamine for depression generally uses a series of treatments at the start of care, followed by reassessment.
Maintenance Treatment
Clients who respond to ketamine treatment may benefit from maintenance (booster) injections that can vary greatly from client to client. Some clients requiring monthly maintenance injections while others can go much longer and some may be less. The maintenance protocol truly varies based on the clients initial response to treatment with the primary goal of progressing into longer intervals between maintenance/booster treatments.
