Experience the Revived Difference

Ketamine, originally known as an anesthetic, has become a revolutionary treatment for mood disorders and chronic pain. Its unique ability to quickly reduce symptoms, even in cases where other treatments have failed, makes it a powerful option in mental health and pain management. But how does ketamine work?

​

Unlike traditional treatments, ketamine targets NMDA receptors in the brain, offering symptom relief by promoting neural regeneration and enhancing neural connectivity. This process not only helps alleviate symptoms but also supports long-term brain health improvement. The safety and effectiveness of ketamine therapy make it a promising choice for individuals who have not found relief with other methods.​

What is Ketamine?

In this therapy, Revive IV Therapy and the team administer a low dose of ketamine through an intravenous (IV) line in the patient’s arm.

In recent years, ketamine has gained recognition for its potential benefits in treating various chronic conditions, including persistent pain, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).​

What is Ketamine Infusion Therapy?

Ketamine infusion therapy is one of the treatments provided at Revive IV Therapy to help reduce or eliminate pain. During this therapy, Revive IV Therapy and the team administer a low dose of ketamine intravenously over a set period.​

​

Although the precise mechanism is still being studied, ketamine is believed to work by blocking N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which play a role in the brain’s pain signaling pathways. This action can result in significant pain relief. Additionally, ketamine may reduce inflammation at specific sites, further contributing to pain reduction and enhancing patient comfort.

Who is Eligible for Ketamine Therapy?

​

Ketamine infusion therapy, particularly for treating depression and other psychiatric conditions, has gained recognition in the medical community. It is primarily recommended for individuals who have not found success with standard treatments like medications and psychotherapy. Below are some key eligibility criteria for ketamine therapy:

​

1. Treatment-Resistant Depression: Individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have not responded to at least two different antidepressant medications during their current episode may be considered for ketamine therapy.

​

2. Suicidal Thoughts: Patients experiencing acute suicidal ideation, especially when traditional interventions have been ineffective or when a rapid response is required, might be eligible for ketamine treatment.

​

3. Severe Anxiety and PTSD: Ketamine is being studied for its potential in treating severe anxiety disorders and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), particularly in cases where conventional treatments have failed.

​

4. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Emerging research indicates that ketamine might offer benefits to those with OCD who have not found relief through standard therapies.

​

5. Chronic Pain Conditions: Ketamine infusions are sometimes utilized for managing chronic pain syndromes, such as neuropathic pain, as it may help reset pain signaling pathways.

​

Who Should Avoid Ketamine Therapy?

​

Not everyone is suitable for ketamine therapy, and certain medical conditions or situations may contraindicate its use. These include but are not limited to:​

​

Uncontrolled high blood pressure

Active substance abuse or addiction issues

Certain psychiatric conditions like psychosis

Pregnancy or breastfeeding, due to a lack of sufficient research on its effects

​

At Revive IV Therapy, each patient undergoes a thorough evaluation to determine their suitability for ketamine therapy, ensuring that the treatment aligns with their specific health needs and circumstances.
