What Is Ketamine Therapy?
Ketamine therapy stands as a well-established treatment option, demonstrating remarkable efficacy in addressing diverse mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and self-harming tendencies. Originally employed as an anesthetic, ketamine has undergone thorough research for its potential in mental healthcare. Offering swift relief from intrusive thoughts and intense stress, ketamine emerges as a significant choice for individuals seeking rapid symptom alleviation. Serenity Mental Health Centers may suggest ketamine therapy infusions at our Las Vegas, NV office to promptly mitigate symptoms of PTSD, OCD, anxiety, or depression.
How Is Ketamine Therapy Administered?
Ketamine infusions are delivered intravenously, ensuring accurate dosage and regulation while minimizing the risk of side effects. Patients undergo treatment in a controlled and cozy setting under the supervision of a seasoned registered nurse. We encourage patients to bring along a book, headphones, or any other preferred activity to pass the time comfortably. Adhering to a patient-centric approach, each session is customized to meet the unique needs of every individual, typically lasting two hours or less. For optimal results, a course of approximately six sessions is advised.
What Can I Expect After Ketamine Therapy?
After undergoing ketamine therapy, you might experience a variety of effects as your body adjusts. Immediately after the session, it's normal to feel groggy or disoriented, so arranging for transportation is important. These initial sensations typically fade within a few hours, transitioning to a clearer and calmer state of mind. In the following days, many patients notice a significant decrease in depressive symptoms and anxiety, along with improvements in mood and mental clarity. Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled to track your progress and address any mild, temporary side effects. Overall, ketamine therapy has the potential to be an incredible treatment, providing relief when other options have been less effective.
What Are the Benefits of Professional Ketamine Therapy?
- Swift Alleviation of Symptoms: Numerous patients experience rapid relief from symptoms, often within hours or days of treatment.
- Long-Term Benefits: Some individuals report enduring relief from their conditions after undergoing multiple sessions.
- Alternative to Conventional Treatments: Ketamine presents a novel and effective option for those who have not responded well to traditional therapies. Many patients achieve positive outcomes with ketamine therapy after unsuccessful attempts with other treatment modalities.
- Professional Administration Ensures Safety: Meticulous dosing and monitoring protocols guarantee the safety and efficacy of ketamine treatments.
Serenity Mental Health Centers | Summerlin Reviews
Absolutely brilliant woman! Helpful, kind, and personable as well. Has helped me get me on track with my medication management. Can’t recommend her enough!
7 months ago, I decided to seek help for my mental health. I'm grateful life brought me to Serenity Mental Health Summerlin's door. Just by my first phone call to them to make an appointment I already felt from the get go that I mattered. Looking for the perfect therapist or help nothing really made me want to stay until I got to this place. My very first appointment everyone welcomed me with open arms and as time passed by I built a very special bond with each and everyone in this office. Their smiles brings light. You feel the peacefulness in this place. Everyday, they would make me feel so comfortable and ask you how you are doing. You really feel their sincerely and care for you. Everyone here is so compassionate and warm. I have been to clinics before I would feel just a client to them nothing else. Here at Serenity you feel that they really do want to help you and do their best to get you the help you need. I never had any issues during my time here. Not one complaint. Everything went smooth for me. They helped and guided me to get better. I love as a mom they cared not only for me but for my boy as well, during the days I have no one to watch my baby they had toys for him to play with and they would watch and play with him as well while I get my treatment. When I had something going on they tried their best to work with my schedule. Really a place to go to get mental health help. TMS, really got me better but the staff had an impact on my life as well. Especially Lidia. I get really emotional when I think about the journey I went through and how much clarity I have in my head and life now. During my graduation and my last session of TMS, I cried so much because I would never thought I would get better and how much it saved my life. I would write a whole book on how GREAT of a place this is. I would tell my friends and family about Serenity. So, if you are reading my review, I would go here for your mental health help. This company is doing great things for people who need help mentally. Additionally while my time here, I observed the process how they pick they their staff, they just don't pick anyone but they choose people who would provide the best care and experience for their clients. I want to thank Lidia, you were with me through my treatments the bad and good days. There is nothing in this life that can express how thankful I am you were the person I did my treatments with. Rachel, thank you as well for being so understanding with me, there to answers my questions, and checking up on me. Lastly, Camille entering the door and I would hear HI JULES! How are you today! Seeing your smile brought warmth and I will miss our lobby conversations. Thank you Priscilla & EVERYONE in Serenity Summerlin from the bottom of my heart because of you all and the treatments I received here, I am better. I am going to miss you all.
Priscilla is such a caring provider and actually made me feel like my concerns were valid. I have a long history of a variety of health issues which has taken over a decade to get diagnoses for due to doctors always dismissing my concerns and early warning signs only to be diagnosed at a later date when symptoms flare up. It was such a breath of fresh air to be believed the first time. The whole staff is also very kind and welcoming. Happy to have found a place to regularly go to for my mental health care.
This is my first time having a Psychiatrist and I have to say the staff was so patient and very helpful! I called and made an appointment the same day which was very nice! Priscilla Austin was so down to earth and very understanding with me during my session and she really made me comfortable to talk about my experiences with what I’m going through at the moment! I definitely recommend others to come if you need treatment with their mental health!
Serenity mental health has been an amazing psychiatrist to go to . And I've been to a few. They over tms and ketamine therapy which can create new neuralpathways in the brain . Additionally my psychiatrist miss Austin has been willing to go any length to make sure that my treatment is effective . Staff is very kind and helpful and listening to any concerns I have. I have never had any issues with waiting too long or anything of the sorts. I had a billing issue for a few months that I never addressed with them but as soon as I did it was squared a way and handled for good . Thanks guys.
