Your Treatment: What to expect at Cope Psychiatry St. Louis Patients are screened by a psychiatric expert prior to beginning ketamine infusion treatments. This ensures that the treatments will not exacerbate any pre-existing conditions. Following screening, Initial treatment consists of three (3) IV infusions of ketamine per week. Each infusion, set in a comfortable, private room, lasts approximately 40 minutes, in addition to an hour observation period after each treatment. During treatment, patients may feel very relaxed, or may have mild visual hallucinations, though these effects are normal and important for the treatment. While the treatment is underway, the process is closely monitored by an expert physician. Who is this treatment for? Cope Psychiatry's research states that "up to 75% of patients…experience quick and substantial relief after receiving ketamine infusions," though each case is very different. The treatments at the Cope Psychiatry St. Louis clinic are, therefore, for those who have not found relief from depression, anxiety, or chronic pain through mainstream avenues. However, ketamine treatment should not replace traditional psychiatric or physiological treatments. Rather, in conjunction with these treatments, infusions can achieve positive results.
