Our Ketamine Treatment Serving Hazleton, PA

The Good Drop’s IV ketamine and Spravato therapies can relieve depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and much more.

IV ketamine treatment is one of our most popular services. We call it the gold standard for overcoming treatment-resistant depression. The ketamine quickly begins manipulating the brain’s N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors to regulate mood and chronic pain. You may feel relief from depression and anxiety within hours.

The new neural connections formed by the ketamine can relieve the symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and pain in a way that oral antidepressants and painkillers simply can’t.

Spravato is the brand name for an FDA-approved form of ketamine called esketamine. It’s ideal for treating depression, although it works slightly differently from IV ketamine.

Spravato is a nasal spray that we apply at a lower dose than standard ketamine. It produces a whole-body sense of peace and, just like IV ketamine, can allow you to start feeling better within hours.

What Is Ketamine Therapy Like at the Good Drop?

Every patient, whether you’re here for one appointment or 20, enjoys top-quality treatment and care by our dedicated care team. Here’s what you can expect when you enroll in our ketamine program:

  1. You meet with our staff physician, Dr. Russell E. James II, to review your health history and explore suitable treatment plans.
  2. After determining the best course of action, we’ll book your initial appointment at our clinic at 824 McAlpine St. in Avoca.
  3. Select the infusion room that best suits your preferences. Options range from the soothing greenery of our Green Room to the psychedelic experience of the Mushroom Room.
  4. We create a calming atmosphere for you, with dimmed lighting and gentle meditation music to guide you on your treatment journey.
  5. IV ketamine infusions typically last 45 minutes to an hour. During this time, you might experience altered thoughts, a sense of detachment, and possibly mild dizziness or nausea. These effects are temporary and usually stop shortly after an infusion.
  6. Spravato nasal spray treatment can take up to two hours. Spravato often induces a profound sense of peace throughout the body, generally without the racing thoughts sometimes associated with ketamine infusions.
  7. Our nursing team will be nearby to guarantee your comfort throughout your session.

The frequency of your infusions depends on your condition and how you respond to initial treatments. Our care team will work with you to recommend a schedule!
