Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
At Modern Mindwork, we are dedicated to advancing mental health treatments through the innovative use of ketamine therapies and psychedelic medicine.
Ketamine-assisted therapy is a therapeutic approach that combines the potent effects of ketamine with the transformative power of psychotherapy. This unique combination tackles challenging mental health conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD and various addiction issues.
Understanding Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Ketamine-assisted therapy integrates the use of clinically controlled doses of ketamine as a pharmacological tool with psychotherapy intervention. Pharmacologically, ketamine induces an altered state of consciousness (among other benefits), which can help patients access deeper psychological insights, to aid emotional processing and healing.
Ketamine infusion therapy provides a deeply immersive experience and benefits from the longest and most comprehensive research whereas ketamine-assisted therapy (or Lozenge Therapy) is gaining prominence due to its ease of use, lower level of intensity and the inclusion of a therapist-assisted guided approach.
Both treatment modalities are delivered within clinical settings but patients may prefer one treatment modality over another as it will be more appropriate for their healing journey.
Comparing Ketamine Infusion Therapy and
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) | Ketamine Infusion Therapy | |
Experience Overview | KAT is conducted under the guidance of a ketamine-trained psychotherapist in their office, creating a supportive and familiar setting for the therapy. It utilizes ketamine in a sublingual (under the tongue) lozenge form, which is absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth and bypasses the digestive system. | Our clinic offers a controlled, serene and medically-monitored environment where IV infusions are administered. Patients relax in a private treatment room during the therapy. The therapeutic experience is enhanced with a weighted eye mask and carefully curated music and soundscapes from Wavepaths[To Music and Psychotherapy], which guides the mind during treatment. |
Therapeutic Benefits: | This form of therapy uses a lower dose of ketamine, which is less intense but highly effective, allowing you to remain fully present and engaged with your therapist. It is especially suited for individuals who need to maintain a connection with their therapeutic work and find it challenging to navigate strong emotions or memories. | The effects of ketamine treatment with this protocol are long lasting and for most people, incredibly profound. This therapy is designed for longevity and significance, with precision-controlled dosing in a nurse-anesthesiology-led clinic. We tailor the dosage based on individual factors, ensuring both safety and specificity in treatment. |
Follow-Up Care | Modern Mindwork is a prescribing provider. If you are seeking a therapist trained in KAT, we can connect you with trusted therapists from our network. Alternatively, you can search for "Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy" online to find a qualified therapist in your area. | We advocate a session with your therapist within 48 hours post-infusion. This approach integrates the heightened mental clarity and emotional insights gained, facilitating deeper therapeutic work. |
Making the Best Choice for Your Mental Health
While both ketamine infusions and KAT offer the benefits of this powerful medication, the choice between them should be guided by your personal health needs and objectives. Infusions provide a more intense, immersive experience with rapid effects, whereas KAT integrates the benefits of ketamine with continuous psychotherapeutic support.
Ketamine-Assisted Therapy: The Costs of Treatment
At Modern Mindwork, we strive to ensure transparency in our pricing to help you plan your treatment effectively. As prescribing providers, our fee is typically $250 for our standard intake procedure and a six-month prescription. This fee covers the comprehensive initial assessment and the prescription of ketamine lozenges, ensuring you have access to the medication you need for sustained therapeutic benefit.
Your therapist fees are an additional charge and you should clarify all aspects of the fee structure before undertaking these sessions.
To maintain the efficacy of your treatment and adjust as necessary for optimal outcomes, we require a follow-up or check-in appointment at least every six months or as required. This ongoing evaluation is crucial for tracking your progress and making any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. The cost for each follow-up appointment is $100.
