Our Ketamine Treatment for Clarks Summit Patients

Many of our patients come to us after attempting to manage their depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or chronic pain with more conventional medication routes such as oral antidepressants and pain relievers. The problem is that these treatments work for some but not others. If you’ve tried it all and are still struggling, our IV ketamine or Spravato could be for you!

IV Ketamine for Clarks Summit Patients

Most of our patients receive IV ketamine therapy for their mental health conditions. At The Good Drop, we call IV ketamine the gold standard for treating stubborn anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more, as well as chronic pain.

Ketamine is so effective because it works differently from oral antidepressants and painkillers. Whereas those medications mask sensations of mental health conditions and pain, ketamine actively binds to your brain’s N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors that control mood and pain.

At the same time, ketamine lets the brain generate more synapses, or pathways, in the brain that can soothe conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and pain.

Spravato for Clarks Summit Patients

Patients specifically suffering from treatment-resistant depression may benefit from our Spravato therapy. Spravato is a nasal-spray variant of ketamine called esketamine. It’s an FDA-approved treatment for major depression that has shown real promise in helping our patients reclaim their happiness and lives again.

Ask us if you’d be a good candidate for Spravato therapy!

What Is Ketamine Therapy Like at the Good Drop?

Receiving ketamine therapy itself is only part of The Good Drop experience. We also want you to relax and heal while you’re here in our space. Here’s what to expect as a ketamine patient with us:

  1. Once you’ve gotten in touch with us about treatment, we set you up with a phone consultation with Dr. Russell E. James II. He will assess your needs and answer all your questions about ketamine therapy.
  2. We schedule you for your first appointment at our office, located at 824 McAlpine St., STE 6, in Avoca.
  3. You can select your own private infusion room as availability allows. Each one is themed differently so you can experience your infusion with your own vibe.
  4. We set you up in a large, comfortable recliner with numerous accessory options to enhance your infusion, including meditative space lights, voice-activated music speakers, blankets, and eye masks.
  5. A typical IV ketamine infusion for mental health lasts around 45 minutes. Most patients experience feelings of dissociation, deep peace, and introspection. You may also feel a bit lightheaded and dizzy, but these are normal side effects that wear off quickly afterward.
  6. Spravato treatments may take up to two hours. This nasal-spray esketamine may produce less intensive dissociative feelings, though many patients report feeling a light sense of floating and whole-body serenity. As with IV or IM ketamine, Spravato may leave you feeling lightheaded after your treatment, but this gradually declines after your treatment.
  7. The Good Drop’s nursing team is always just a call bell away if you need anything during your treatment.
