Your Treatment: What to Expect at Veritas Mind Health One of the clinic's psychologists will evaluate you and determine whether the treatment would be appropriate for you. Ketamine is given in a measured and timed dose, approximately 40 minutes in duration, through a small intravenous line placed in the forearm or hand. The dose is determined based on your weight. Blood pressure and oxygen levels are monitored at preset intervals and a heart rhythm monitor is used for your initial infusion and if needed thereafter. Various ‘extenders' (nasal spray, lozenges) may be recommended on a case-by-case basis after the best individual dose for the patient has been determined by IV infusion. Who is Ketamine Treatment for? Ketamine has a bit of stigma and baggage given its history. While you may think of it as a "party drug" from the 1990s, there is a growing amount of research that says it has some positive potential. The more research our major institutions conduct, the less stigma there will be around these drugs. And if they can help people with drug-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc, then why wouldn't we put these to use in proper, clinical settings? Is Ketamine Legal? This is primarily due to its stigma as a party drug. The truth is yes, ketamine is legal. In fact, it is only a Schedule III drug by the DEA. This puts it on the same level as Tylenol and codeine. So don't let the baggage of this drug stop you from learning more about it. As always, ask your doctor if ketamine therapy is right for you. Discover more Massachusetts Ketamine Clinics
