Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine therapy, available at Kalea Wellness in Henderson, Nevada, is a groundbreaking treatment for individuals navigating depression, anxiety, addiction, PTSD, chronic pain, and other mental health conditions.

Originally developed as an anesthetic, ketamine has become a powerful therapeutic tool, offering rapid mood and cognitive improvements, often when other treatments fail. At Kalea Wellness, a ketamine therapy clinic in Henderson, NV, ketamine is administered in carefully monitored sessions, often paired with psychotherapy for maximum benefit. Our expert team ensures your comfort, safety, and guided support throughout the process.

It’s important to distinguish medical treatment from recreational use. While ketamine is sometimes misused, our approach is clinical, evidence-based, and focused on mental health. Like many effective medications, ketamine requires responsible use under strict medical supervision. Despite past misconceptions, research shows that when used therapeutically, ketamine can offer profound mental health benefits, restoring balance and well-being with respect and care.

With its ability to offer rapid symptom relief, ketamine therapy provides hope for individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments.

Ketamine Therapy: Who It Helps and How

Ketamine therapy offers hope for depression when traditional treatments fall short. Unlike typical antidepressants targeting serotonin and norepinephrine, ketamine targets the NMDA receptor in the brain, swiftly alleviating severe symptoms by promoting neural pathway restoration. Traditional antidepressants often require weeks to months to take effect, where ketamine can provide relief within hours to days after administration, making it particularly beneficial for those experiencing acute distress or treatment-resistant depression.

Treatment plans are tailored to each individual, with session frequency and dosage adjusted as needed. A typical protocol may include six sessions over a few weeks, followed by maintenance sessions spaced further apart as needed to sustain the therapeutic benefits.

In addition to ketamine sessions, psychotherapy (talk therapy) plays a crucial role in treatment. Integrating psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches, alongside ketamine treatment can enhance long-term outcomes by addressing underlying psychological factors contributing to depression. The frequency and duration of psychotherapy sessions will depend on individual needs and treatment goals, often involving regular sessions throughout the course of ketamine treatment and beyond to support ongoing mental health.

Ketamine therapy represents a promising advancement in the treatment of depression, offering rapid relief and restoring hope for individuals where conventional treatments have failed. For more information or to schedule a consultation, please contact our clinic today.

Anxiety disorders encompass a spectrum of conditions, characterized by excessive worry, fear, and apprehension. These disorders can significantly impact daily life, causing symptoms such as panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and social withdrawal. When conventional treatments such as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) do not provide sufficient relief, ketamine therapy emerges as a promising treatment. Ketamine acts rapidly by modulating glutamate receptors in the brain, promoting synaptic plasticity and neural connectivity that may alleviate symptoms of anxiety.

Ketamine therapy is considered for those resistant to traditional treatments. Treatment may involve sessions via infusion, injection, or sublingual routes. During supervised ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), a mental health specialist guides patients to process emotions and insights, enhancing treatment effectiveness.

A typical course of ketamine treatment begins with an initial assessment to determine suitability and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each individual. This is usually followed by 4 to 6 ketamine sessions over a few weeks. Each session lasts about 1 to 2 hours, during which the patient may experience altered states of consciousness. Integration therapy sessions are also included to help patients integrate the insights gained from ketamine sessions into their daily lives.

Ketamine therapy has emerged as a transformative treatment for chronic pain, offering distinct advantages over conventional approaches. Unlike traditional pain medications, which primarily target symptoms, ketamine acts directly on NMDA receptors in the brain. This mechanism not only provides rapid pain relief but also disrupts the cycle of pain signaling and perception.

Administered at Kalea Wellness through intravenous, intramuscular, intranasal, and sublingual routes, ketamine therapy is tailored to individual needs and closely monitored by medical professionals. The treatment protocol typically involves an initial assessment to evaluate medical history, psychiatric status, and pain symptoms. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan is crafted, detailing the appropriate dosage and administration method.

Compared to opioids, which carry significant risks of tolerance and dependency, ketamine's unique pharmacological profile reduces these concerns. Moreover, ketamine therapy often includes psychotherapeutic support, addressing both physical and psychological aspects of chronic pain. This integrative approach not only targets pain management but also promotes overall well-being and quality of life.
