Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic used daily in operating rooms, boasts a profound safety profile that has spurred research into its potential beyond anesthesia.
Our bodies utilize multiple neurotransmitters that interact with various receptor sites. Traditional pharmaceuticals often target only a few of these sites, leading to suboptimal effects. In contrast, ketamine targets signaling pathways and stimulates neural changes, forming new connections. This process can rapidly improve mood and reduce unpleasant symptoms.
What is Ketamine? Understanding Its Benefits and Uses in Mental Health Treatment
How Quickly Does Ketamine Work and How Long Do Its Effects Last?
Many patients experience symptom relief within hours of infusion, although the duration varies based on individual factors and specific mental health disorders. A multidisciplinary approach involving you, your mental health provider, and our team at Modern Therapeutics will determine the best treatment course for you.
Research consistently shows that combining ketamine therapy with psychotherapy offers the greatest benefits. This approach is considered the gold standard. At Modern Therapeutics, we prioritize evidence-based practices, recommending psychotherapy 24-48 hours post-infusion to maximize therapeutic outcomes.

Over 20 years of robust research supports the efficacy of IV Ketamine for mental health disorders. IV infusion allows for a faster onset and relief of symptoms than other administration modalities. Additionally, administering ketamine through an IV infusion provides a controlled rate, which can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of the patient.
