What Is Oral Ketamine Treatment?
Oral ketamine treatment involves the use of low-dose ketamine to help manage conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders, particularly in patients who have not responded well to traditional medications or therapy alone. In a mental health setting, oral ketamine is used under professional supervision and is typically part of a broader, personalized treatment plan designed to restore balance, improve mood stability, and promote long-term emotional wellness.
How Is Oral Ketamine Treatment Performed?
Oral ketamine treatment typically begins with a comprehensive evaluation to ensure it’s appropriate based on your mental health history, current symptoms, and any other treatments you're receiving. Once approved, oral ketamine therapy is administered in a safe and controlled setting under the guidance of a mental health provider or care team. The medication may be taken on-site during supervised sessions or prescribed for at-home use depending on your treatment plan. Our team will walk you through what to expect during and after each dose, and closely monitor your progress to ensure your safety and optimize your results.
What Are the Benefits of Oral Ketamine Treatment?
For many patients, oral ketamine offers an exciting and promising alternative when other medications or therapies haven’t provided relief. Unlike traditional antidepressants and other mental health medications, which can take weeks or even months to take effect, ketamine may offer benefits in a shorter time frame. Its unique mechanism of action targets different brain receptors, offering fast-acting support for mood regulation and emotional control. Patients often report improved clarity, emotional relief, and reduced symptoms of depression or anxiety even after just a few doses. Compared with other treatments, oral ketamine may offer benefits including being:
- Convenient and noninvasive
- Easier to tolerate for patients sensitive to side effects
- An option for those seeking alternatives to long-term daily medications
- Adaptable to a wider range of treatment-resistant conditions
