Frequently Asked Questions
How many Intramuscular Ketamine sessions will I need?

Insurance coverage for IM ketamine therapy varies by provider and individual health plan. Our team can help you review your benefits, discuss available payment options, and answer questions about the cost of treatment before you begin therapy.
How do I know if Intramuscular Ketamine therapy is right for me?
The best way to determine whether IM ketamine therapy is appropriate is through a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation.
