Ketamine
A different approach when other treatments haven’t worked.
If you’ve been dealing with depression, anxiety, or ongoing emotional distress, you may have tried medication, therapy, or both.
For some people, these approaches are really helpful. For others, progress may feel limited or inconsistent. When that happens, ketamine therapy can offer another option to help move things forward.
What ketamine therapy is and when it’s used.
Ketamine has been used in medicine for decades, originally as an anesthetic.
In a controlled clinical setting, it’s now used as a treatment for mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, particularly when other approaches haven’t worked as expected.
One of the reasons ketamine therapy is used is because it can work more quickly than traditional medications, which often take weeks to take effect.
Ketamine therapy for depression is one of the most common use cases, but it may also be used for anxiety, PTSD, and certain types of chronic pain.
Ketamine assisted therapy is typically part of a broader plan, often alongside ongoing care like therapy or other treatments.
Your clinician will help determine whether this approach makes sense based on your history and current symptoms.
What to expect from your experience.
Ketamine treatment can be administered in several ways, depending on your plan.
At Flow Wellness, treatment may include IV infusions in a monitored clinical setting in Bend, Oregon, or at-home options when appropriate.
During in-clinic sessions, you’re in a private room and monitored by a clinician and medical staff throughout the treatment.
Some people describe the experience as feeling detached or inwardly focused during the session. Others feel relaxed or quiet. The effects are temporary, and your care team is there to guide you through the process.
Before starting treatment, your clinician will review your medical history, current medications, and overall health to determine if ketamine therapy is appropriate for you.
Care the continues over time.
Ketamine therapy is not a one-time experience. Treatment is typically structured over a series of sessions, with follow-up care to assess how you’re responding.
For patients continuing treatment at home, guidance and support remain an important part of the process. In many cases, working with a therapist alongside ketamine assisted therapy is recommended.
Your plan is adjusted over time based on how you respond, so care stays focused on you and what you need.
