Intramuscular Ketamine Therapy
In Chandler, AZ
At True Self Mental Wellness in Chandler, AZ, we offer intramuscular (IM) ketamine therapy as an innovative treatment option for individuals living with treatment-resistant depression and other qualifying mental health conditions. Administered under medical supervision, IM ketamine works by modulating glutamate signaling in the brain, helping promote neuroplasticity and potentially providing rapid relief for patients who haven’t responded to traditional treatments.
What is Intramuscular Ketamine Therapy?
IM ketamine therapy is an evidence-based treatment that works distinctly from conventional psychiatric medications. Instead of targeting serotonin or norepinephrine pathways, it acts on the brain’s glutamate system, a crucial neurotransmitter network involved in mood regulation, learning, and memory. This action promotes neuroplasticity, which helps the brain form new, healthier connections.
Your Intramuscular Ketamine Therapy Journey
Initial Consultation
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation conducted by Thomas Martin, PA-C. He will review your full mental health history, current symptoms, prior treatments, and overall health. This thorough assessment determines if IM ketamine therapy is a safe and appropriate option, leading to a tailored treatment plan.
During Your Session
During Your Session
During your treatment, sessions are administered in a safe, private clinical setting, typically lasting 45 minutes to a few hours. A trained guide remains by your side throughout, monitoring your comfort, safety, and well-being. Patients often experience deep relaxation, mild dissociation, or shifts in perception during this time.
Post-Treatment Care
