FAQs

  • Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) is suitable for a variety of conditions. If you're experiencing challenges such as depression, grief, anxiety, loss, or seeking healing from past trauma, you may consider KAT as a potential solution.

    Additionally, KAT has shown promise for individuals with treatment-resistant conditions, who have found little success with traditional medications and therapy.

    If you're looking to deepen your connection to your body, identity, and purpose, KAT could be an option for you. By accessing parts of your subconscious mind, KAT may offer avenues for comfort, healing, and inspiration.

  • Each individual's experience with Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAT) is unique.

    During sessions with low doses, you might notice mild dissociation, increased relaxation, heightened mindfulness, decreased defenses, as well as feelings of calmness and empathy. These sessions may also provide relief from symptoms of depression and anxiety.

    Moderate doses may lead to more noticeable dissociation, potential out-of-body sensations, and an expanded perception of self.

    At higher doses, you may undergo complete dissociation from the body and encounter various transcendental and mystical experiences.

    Your dosage will be tailored to your specific intentions and objectives for the KAT program. Collaborating with a Medical Doctor and your therapist, you'll determine the most appropriate Ketamine dosage for each session.

  • Ketamine-Assisted Therapy sessions typically span 3-4 hours, encompassing preparation, the experiential phase, and integration.

    The duration of your session can vary based on several factors, including the dosage administered, the method of administration, as well as your mindset and expectations going into the session. Each individual's experience is unique and may influence the length of the session.

    However, it remains illegal for recreational purposes.

  • At our facility, Ketamine is administered through sublingual/buccal and intramuscular routes.

    You'll have the choice between compounded Ketamine lozenges, which you self-administer by placing them under your tongue for several minutes, or receiving the medicine via intramuscular injection administered by a nurse.

    Our team will provide comprehensive information about both options to assist you in making an informed decision tailored to your needs.

  • While it's possible to consume psychedelics independently, doing so carries inherent risks. Recreational use of controlled substances often involves hazards such as contamination, unsafe settings, and potential dosing inaccuracies.
