IV Ketamine Infusions

Ketamine treatment for depression in Cincinnati

Ohio’s first IV ketamine treatment center for treatment-resistant depression — offering fast, effective relief when conventional medications haven’t worked.

What is ketamine?

Ketamine is a powerful, well-studied medication increasingly used to treat depression when conventional medications fail. It works differently from traditional antidepressants — by blocking a receptor in the brain called the NMDA receptor — which can rapidly restore mood and relieve symptoms.

Ketamine for depression

For many patients with treatment-resistant depression, ketamine offers relief on a timescale traditional medications simply can’t match. It can also help with anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain conditions in the right candidates.

The experience

What to expect during an infusion

A personalized treatment series

Most patients complete about six sessions over a two-to-three week period for optimal results.

Comfortable, monitored infusions

Each infusion lasts 40 minutes to an hour, administered through an IV drip while our team monitors you closely.

Gentle after-effects

Some patients experience mild dissociation during treatment, which subsides when the infusion ends. Side effects, if any, are minimal — typically a mild headache, dizziness, or nausea.
