Ketamine Therapy
THE ROUTE CLINIC · CHANDLER
EXPLORE KETAMINE THERAPY
Ketamine-based treatments may be considered for adults whose depression has not improved with standard treatment. A consultation is the first step: we review your history, goals, and medical factors to decide whether Spravato® (esketamine), IV ketamine, or IM ketamine could be an appropriate option.
Care is individualized, closely monitored, and built around a clear plan for safety, comfort, and follow-up.
UNDERSTANDING KETAMINE'S ROLE IN MENTAL HEALTH
Ketamine and esketamine work differently from traditional antidepressants, acting on the brain’s glutamate system. For some people, this approach may offer meaningful symptom relief more quickly than standard medications—though results, timing, and the right treatment plan vary from person to person.
Spravato® is an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for specific forms of adult depression. IV and IM ketamine are prescribed off-label when clinically appropriate.
TAILORED TREATMENT IN A SUPPORTIVE SETTING
Every plan begins with a careful psychiatric and medical review—not a one-size-fits-all protocol. We discuss potential benefits, alternatives, risks, past treatments, and the practical details of care before moving forward.
Treatments are provided in a calm, supervised setting. Temporary effects may include dissociation, dizziness, nausea, headache, or a short-term rise in blood pressure, so monitoring and aftercare are part of every visit.
