Washington Interventional Psychiatry (WIP), we offer ketamine infusion therapy in Washington DC for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders. Ketamine is primarily used for depression and offers a powerful option for those who haven’t responded to traditional oral medications. It has also shown significant promise as an effective treatment for bipolar depression and trauma. For many, ketamine therapy provides relief when other treatments have fallen short.
Ketamine Delivery Options for Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia Residents
At our Washington DC clinic, we offer four forms of ketamine infusion therapy to suit individual needs:
- Intravenous (IV) Infusions
- Nasal S-Ketamine (Spravato)
- Ketamine Injections (IM)
- Compounded Inhalation
We also offer ketamine troches as part of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in select cases where this approach is clinically appropriate.
In general, we focus on delivery methods that allow for more consistent absorption and predictable dosing, which helps produce more reliable clinical responses. When oral formulations are used, they are typically incorporated within structured therapeutic settings such as KAP.
Risks and Safety Protocols of Ketamine Therapy
Like any medical treatment, ketamine therapy carries potential risks, including dissociation, nausea, elevated blood pressure, and short-term confusion. At Washington Interventional Psychiatry, patient safety is a top priority. For this reason, ketamine treatments are administered under the close supervision of our medical team, and we follow rigorous safety protocols throughout the treatment process, including:
Pre-treatment psychiatric and medical screening
Continuous monitoring during the session
A post-treatment recovery period to ensure a safe and comfortable experience
WIP’s thorough approach guarantees that our patients receive the highest level of care in a controlled and supportive environment with mental health specialists always available.
