Begin Your JourneyConditions We Treat
Ketamine therapy has shown remarkable results for various conditions that haven't responded to conventional treatments.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
For depression that hasn't improved with standard antidepressants, ketamine can provide rapid relief, often within hours or days rather than weeks.
Anxiety Disorders
Ketamine therapy can help reduce symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and panic disorder when other treatments haven't been effective.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Ketamine may help address the root neurological patterns of PTSD, offering relief from intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and hypervigilance.
Chronic Pain
For conditions like fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome, and other chronic pain disorders, ketamine can interrupt pain signals and provide lasting relief.
How Ketamine Therapy Works
Ketamine works differently than conventional antidepressants and pain medications, offering a new mechanism for healing.
- Rapidly increases glutamate neurotransmission, enhancing neuroplasticity
- Promotes the growth of neural connections damaged by stress and depression
- Reduces inflammation in the brain associated with mood disorders
- Disrupts the brain circuits responsible for pain perception
- Offers rapid relief, often after a single treatment

Frequently Asked Questions
Many patients report noticeable improvement in symptoms after just one or two treatments, which is significantly faster than conventional antidepressants that often take weeks to show effects. However, response varies by individual. Some patients experience immediate relief, while others may see gradual improvement over the course of treatment. The full benefits typically develop over the initial treatment series and can last for weeks to months.
Currently, most insurance plans do not cover ketamine therapy for mental health conditions, though this is beginning to change. Our staff can provide you with detailed receipts that you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. We also offer various payment options and can discuss financial considerations during your consultation to help make treatment as accessible as possible.
Ketamine has been used safely in medical settings for decades. When administered by trained medical professionals in appropriate doses with proper monitoring, as it is at Urgent Care Plus, ketamine therapy is considered safe. Before treatment, we conduct a thorough assessment to identify any contraindications. Side effects are generally mild and temporary, such as nausea, dizziness, or slight blood pressure elevation. Our medical team continuously monitors you throughout treatment to ensure your safety and comfort.
Most medications can be continued during ketamine treatment, but some may need to be temporarily adjusted. During your consultation, our medical team will review all your current medications and make specific recommendations. It's important to disclose all medications, supplements, and substances you use to ensure safe treatment. Never discontinue prescribed medications without consulting your prescribing physician.
Most patients benefit from an initial series of 4-6 treatments, typically scheduled over 2-3 weeks. After the initial series, maintenance treatments may be recommended based on your response and ongoing needs. Some patients experience significant improvement after just 1-2 sessions, while others may require the full initial series to see optimal benefits.
During treatment, you may experience a sense of dissociation or floating, altered perception of time, visual or sensory changes, and a deep sense of relaxation. Many patients describe the experience as dreamlike or meditative. These effects are temporary and an expected part of the treatment that contributes to its effectiveness. Our team will ensure you're comfortable throughout the experience and will guide you if any aspects feel challenging.
