Ketamine Therapy

At Washington Interventional Psychiatry (WIP), we offer ketamine therapy 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 DMV Residents

At our Washington DC clinic, we offer four forms of ketamine therapy to suit individual needs:

We have chosen not to provide oral forms of ketamine due to the highly variable absorption of oral drugs in the gastrointestinal system. This high variability leads to inconsistent responses. By focusing on more effective delivery methods, we ensure a more reliable and positive experience for our patients.

Risks and Safety Protocols of Ketamine Therapy

It’s important to note that like any medical treatment, there are risks involved, including dissociation, nausea, elevated blood pressure, or short-term confusion. Our team takes psychiatric care and safety seriously, which is why ketamine therapy is always done under the close supervision of our psychiatric and medical professionals, and why at our DC ketamine clinic, we follow rigorous safety protocols from start to finish, including:

  1. Pre-treatment psychiatric and medical screenings
  2. Continuous monitoring during the session
  3. 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.
