What is Ketamine therapy?
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is an intensive treatment approach that combines the use of the dissociative anesthetic drug ketamine with psychotherapy to address a variety of psychiatric disorders. Studies show that this approach has been shown to be effective in treating depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and addiction.
While ketamine is a medicine that has traditionally been used as a surgical anesthetic, it has been increasingly used to treat mental health conditions. It is believed that the drug works by increasing the production of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, which are involved in mood regulation and feelings of well-being.
KAP involves the administration of a low dose of ketamine in a safe and controlled setting, followed by a psychotherapy session. During the session, the clinician helps you explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a supportive environment.
Our KAP sessions will consist of the preparation phase, experiential phase, and integration phase. We do not prescribe or administer the ketamine, however we do have partners that we collaborate with who will be happy to assist you on your journey.

We provide boutique therapy services that are customized to each client.
We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Insurance companies have pushed the model of weekly 45-minute sessions, but this doesn't work for everyone. Some people benefit from more frequent sessions or longer, intensive sessions. As out-of-network providers, we're able to tailor your treatment to exactly what you need—not what your insurance company decides for you. Plus, we offer a wide range of services that are designed to meet you where you're at.

FAQs about Ketamine Treatment in Florida
-
Ketamine infusions are typically administered in a doctor's office or at a dedicated ketamine infusion therapy center. They are used to treat mental health conditions like treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and trauma, though studies suggest they can also be an effective treatment for chronic pain conditions.
While low-dose ketamine infusions can be beneficial on their own, research suggests that adding psychotherapy to ketamine treatments can further enhance their effectiveness. That's where ketamine-assisted psychotherapy comes in. Unlike stand-alone ketamine IV therapy, KAP provides a safe space for you to process your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
-
Since ketamine therapy is still a relatively new form of therapy, it may take a bit more time and effort to find a provider. Using a search engine is a great place to start. You could even browse on social media to find ketamine therapy providers near you.
Depending on your unique situation, you may also be able to ask a medical provider for a referral. This could be a good option if you're interested in ketamine infusion therapy for chronic pain or are seeking a prescription for esketamine, the FDA-approved nasal spray for depression.
We provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy at Restorative Integrations and have partnerships with local ketamine providers. Contact us to learn more about the treatment process and how we can help.

One of the benefits of KAP is that it can produce rapid results. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, which can take weeks or even months to take effect, patients may experience improvements in their symptoms within hours of receiving a ketamine infusion.
KAP has been particularly effective in treating treatment-resistant depression, which is depression that does not respond to traditional treatments such as antidepressant medications or psychotherapy alone. Studies have shown that KAP can produce long-lasting improvements in mood, even in patients who have not responded to other treatments.
In addition to treating depression, KAP has also been shown to be effective in treating anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. It can also be used to treat PTSD, particularly in patients who have not responded to other treatments.

Ketamine therapy is generally viewed as a safe and effective treatment. This substance has been used safely for years as a surgical drug, and it is included on the List of Essential Medicines by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In recent years, an increasing number of randomized controlled trials have shown its effectiveness for treating mental health conditions like mood disorders, PTSD, and more. However, as with any medication or treatment, it's important to discuss any concerns with your medical provider, especially if you have pre-existing conditions like high blood pressure.
