Ketamine can work when other treatments fall short. We provide evidence-based ketamine care for eligible patients with treatment-resistant depression, certain anxiety disorders, chronic pain, and PTSD. IV ketamine infusions are administered in-office and are available exclusively at our Fairfax, Virginia infusion center. Sublingual ketamine troches are also available where clinically appropriate and permitted by state and federal law.
The right format for your situation. Your psychiatric medical team will determine whether IV infusions, sublingual troches, or a combined approach best fits your symptoms, history, and safety profile. Contact us to verify your candidacy and schedule an evaluation.
What Can IV Ketamine Therapy Treat?
What if relief could come within hours? When severe, treatment-resistant depression, chronic pain, or PTSD has not responded to standard care, IV ketamine can work quickly by acting on the brain’s glutamate pathways – sometimes within hours or days.
Available only in Fairfax. We administer all IV ketamine infusions at our Fairfax, Virginia clinical center in a medically supervised outpatient setting. If you live outside Northern Virginia, ask your provider whether sublingual ketamine troches may be appropriate in your state.
Depression, chronic pain, and PTSD often overlap. Major depressive episodes frequently travel with centralized chronic pain, fibromyalgia, or severe PTSD. Ketamine may help both by calming pain sensitization and restoring neuroplasticity. Your infusion plan is built around your full medical history and safety.
How Does IV Ketamine Work?
Ketamine works on various mechanisms in the brain, leaving its specific healing mode up for debate. Glutamate, a neurotransmitter, is a prime suspect for ketamine’s mental health benefits. Glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter released by nerve cells in your brain. It plays a major role in learning and memory. For your brain to function properly, glutamate must be present in the right concentration in the right places at the right time. Ketamine has an inhibitory effect on NMDA receptors, which regulate glutamate activity, helping to restore healthier neural signaling patterns in patients with depression and chronic pain.
