Our Ketamine Clinic offers Ketamine therapy for conditions including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, as well as chronic pain conditions. Ketamine is also an effective medication to help with the detox process for those struggling with substance dependence.

Unlike many Ketamine Clinics, we schedule one patient at a time, allowing us to dedicate our attention to you completely during your treatment sessions. Office-based treatment takes place in a private room in a quiet, relaxed setting, with physician monitoring. We also provide House Call Ketamine therapy in the comfort of your home.

We offer a variety of options to choose from with Ketamine treatment. The most well-established method is an induction series of intravenous (IV) infusions or intramuscular (IM) injections, followed by periodic maintenance doses. The frequency of doses needed varies among individuals, but you may be able to go weeks between doses, once your optimal regimen is established. We also use versions of Ketamine that can be self-administered at home, for those who are appropriate for these options. These include oral lozenges and nasal sprays. Because these methods can be effective, and are often more affordable, some clients can augment their IV or IM doses with these methods of administration over time. At your initial intake session, we will discuss the various options you will have.

Initial intake visits may be scheduled by calling 828-230-9000 or emailing Dr. Meidad Goldman at [email protected]. Ketamine therapy is offered through our medical, psychiatric, and detox service lines. You will continue working with your current pain management doctor or psychiatrist, who will refer you to us exclusively for Ketamine treatment while continuing to manage your overall care. We will collaborate with this provider for your treatment planning. Because we take a limited number of new clients each month, availability can vary. If our practice is full, you will be added to a wait list. We are not always able to schedule new clients on an urgent basis. If you are not an established client and you or your provider feel you are in crisis, you may need need to access existing crisis services, as there may be a wait before we are able to accept you into treatment.

Though Ketamine has become a popular and well known treatment, it is not a fit for everyone and is best used when other treatments haven’t worked well. Ketamine is not FDA approved for some of these uses, but it is scientifically proven to work for a large percentage of people, and we feel our clients should have the option of this treatment if they choose. We use dose regimens that have been established as safe and effective by multiple, rigorous scientific studies. However, there are still no long-term studies of the effects over a person’s lifetime, so the decision to use Ketamine needs to be carefully considered by each individual after discussion with your provider of the potential risks.
