The benefits of ketamine therapy are earning national attention as the drug continues to be seen as a viable alternative to traditional major depression treatments such as oral antidepressants.
Consider that about 10% to 30% of Americans with major depression experience no relief from antidepressants, according to the National Library of Medicine.
But how does ketamine therapy fare against treatment-resistant depression? Medical professionals have performed numerous studies we can refer to, including one in which almost 70% of participants with major depressive disorder reported being symptom-free after four treatment levels of ketamine.
The Good Drop is the only ketamine center within a 120-mile radius of our location in Avoca, PA, that offers what we offer: premium ketamine therapy and many other mental health services with a 98.2% success rate!
Here are five advantages of receiving your ketamine treatment at the Good Drop!
1. Depression & Anxiety Relief
Ketamine has proven highly effective in helping people overcome the symptoms of severe depression and anxiety. You can find plenty of stories of Americans suffering with treatment-resistant depression for decades before finding relief through ketamine therapy.
Ketamine helps alleviate depression and anxiety by allowing the brain to form new connections between neurons. The brain can control mood more effectively with more synapses talking to one another.
It’s also thought that any oral antidepressants you’re on may become more helpful to you when they can use these new connections!
2. Chronic Pain Relief
Many of our patients at the Good Drop turn to ketamine therapy as a treatment for chronic pain and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). In the same way that ketamine alters brain pathways to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, the drug can do the same for receptors that control pain.
We’ve had numerous patients who have suffered chronic pain for decades who feel pain-free after a single ketamine infusion!
In some cases, their pain has been so bad that they required weekly infusions to feel better. Over time, though, as ketamine reshaped their neural pathways, those patients requested less frequent appointments because they felt so good between sessions. This is an ideal situation for a patient receiving ketamine therapy for chronic pain, and we’ve seen it a lot here!
3. Compassionate & Professional Healthcare
On top of the effectiveness of the ketamine itself, we understand our patients also want to know they’re in good hands while they’re here.
Our medical team has had long careers in emergency medicine, and we now have one goal: to help as many patients as possible with ketamine therapy and our other mental health services.
