How Ketamine Therapy Works
With so many people feeling stuck, not able to make the progress they are hoping for, trying everything to get relief - Its time for a Catalyst to help make those changes!
Welcome.
Welcome to Catalyst Clinic! We are a Ketamine certified clinic, which means we’re supervised by a physician and CRNA, RN staff is present with continual vision and vital signs monitored during infusions. We operate the Restore Ultra Rapid ketamine infusion protocol with body weight and current medications considered. This method has been used for patients all over the United States and internationally with high success rates of meaningful improvement.
The Ulta Rapid Protocol has been discovered to be highly effective in treatment of mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, postpartum, bi poloar disorder, PTSD and also pain management such as migraines and fibromyalgia.
What To Expect.
How it works.
IV ketamine infusion triggers a rapid increase in glutamate production, which is a complex series of events that prompts the brain to form new neural connections. Glutamate is the main neurotransmitter that encourages the growth of synapses in your brain, which helps your brain strengthen and restore important neural connections and pathways that have been impaired due to chronic stress like PTSD, anxiety and depression. With new and repaired connections this induces change in the functions and circuits of the brain making it easier to form new thought patterns.
How Do I Start My Week Program?
Infusions require an initial screening and assessment. After speaking to one of our initial care coordinators you’ll undergo a detailed assessment of medical records, history of symptoms and a current mental health evaluation by our PA.
Our Ketamine Infusion program consists of:
● Physician Assistant screening
● 7 IV ketamine infusions (6 over 3-4 weeks and 1 booster infusion)
● Consultation with Functional Medicine Doctor
What Should I Expect Before, During and After My Program?
Before starting your program it’s important to set a meaningful intention. Mental health is one piece of overall health. We’re aiming to improve your functional health, mental health and overall wellness. A sense of gratitude and meaningfulness throughout your program will help bring more meaningful improvements.
We encourage patients to create a relaxing playlist to listen to during infusions. Music enhances the brain in many ways and can help bring back happy emotions,memories and help you stay relaxed and calm during your infusions.
Each infusion is tailored to your experience. Throughout your program our CRNA’s will communicate with you before each session to evaluate the previous infusion and adjust if needed.
Many patients communicate rapid relief from their first few treatments. Symptoms lessening and a better sense of clarity. Each patient experience is different and results vary patient to patient. Not every patient experiences rapid results, but notices more meaningful results near the end of the program and months after. Many patients find they can reduce or discontinue previous medications.
Our Functional Medicine program consists of:
● Two blood draws
● Personalized diet and supplement plan created with functional medicine doctor
● Personalized supplements to optimize your functional health
