KETAMINE
Trusted for decades and FDA approved in 1970, ketamine is all about fast relief.
Discover how ketamine infusion therapy can help with depression.
What is Ketamine Therapy?
Originally used as an anesthetic, Ketamine treatment is now an effective therapy for depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Administered through intravenous infusion or nasal spray, Ketamine therapy is known for its rapid action in alleviating depression-related symptoms. It offers hope to individuals who have not found relief with traditional mental health treatments. As part of our comprehensive approach at the North Carolina Institute of Advanced NeuroHealth, Ketamine treatment is tailored to support long-term mental wellness and recovery.
Ketamine Therapy has become a breakthrough treatment in mental health care.
Ketamine is effective in about 70% of patients with treatment-resistant depression. It is fast-acting, and some people start feeling the benefits of ketamine within the first 24 hours of an initial dose. This fast action solidifies ketamine as a breakthrough treatment. Why? Traditional antidepressants can take two to four weeks while ketamine can take hours.
Even though ketamine is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression, it has shown promise in the treatment of other conditions. These include bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and chronic pain.
The Two Types of Ketamine
There are two types of ketamine: racemic ketamine and esketamine.
Racemic ketamine combines two molecules: "R" and "S" ketamine. It was originally approved for anesthesia. Now, in smaller doses, it can treat mental health conditions. Ketamine infusions are not covered by insurance.
Esketamine also known as Spravato, is the FDA approved nasal spray that only uses the "S" molecule. Intranasal Esketamine is covered by many major insurance companies.

A Brief Look at Ketamine Throughout History
Ketamine was discovered in 1962 by Calvin L. Stevens, a professor of chemistry. It quickly proved to act quicker than the leading anesthetic at the time, PCP. The U.S. eventually approved ketamine in the 1970s for anesthetic use during the Vietnam War. As time passed, people began to use it illicitly, and it became a federally controlled substance in 1999.
But despite this classification, researchers remained steadfast, knowing ketamine could unlock the enormous potential for treating several health conditions. Now, after years of extensive research, significant findings show the promise of ketamine to manage various mental health conditions when administered in low doses.
Ketamine is the future of mental health treatment. Unlock it's potential and find the relief you deserve.

Sustained & Long-Term Relief
Combination Therapy with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS or rTMS) and Ketamine is a safe and highly effective alternative to medications and other forms of therapy and lifestyle changes. When medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes don't help, then transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS therapy) with Ketamine should be considered.
Outpatient Comfortable Care
Our expert staff will put you at ease. While Ketamine has proven to be effective in the treatment of depression, pain, and other mood disorders, this is irrelevant until the FDA classifies the drug as an antidepressant. The good news is, since Ketamine is a "medical expense", we are able to accept payment from HSA and FSA accounts.
