Ketamine Treatment California

Good mental health does not just mean the absence of illness. The WHO (World Health Organization) describes mental health as a state of well-being that helps us to recognize our skills and abilities, handle stress, have healthy relationships, work and prosper, and be a productive member of the community.

About one in five people in the United States will experience a mental health illness at some point in their lives. Many of them try various therapies or medications without seeing the relief they hoped for. If this describes what you’re going through, our groundbreaking, effective alternative ketamine treatment in California could be the solution.

What Is Ketamine Infusion Therapy? 

Mental health struggles like depression, anxiety, and PTSD can feel like an endless challenge, especially when traditional treatments fall short. If you feel stuck in a cycle of overwhelming emotions, persistent sadness, or unrelenting anxiety, ketamine therapy at Bespoke Treatment in California can bring noticeable relief within days or just hours. 

Initially developed as a surgical anesthetic, ketamine is a medication that has since found its use in treating mental health conditions. Ketamine has rapid-acting antidepressant effects. So, unlike conventional antidepressants, which can take weeks or months to work, ketamine offers relief to individuals with treatment-resistant depression within hours or days.

This innovative therapy targets glutamate receptors in the brain, helping regulate mood and form new neural pathways. Ketamine therapy has proven to be particularly effective for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression. In addition, ketamine helps regulate brain activity associated with excessive fear and worry, alleviating anxiety. For people struggling with PTSD or suicidal ideation, ketamine can bring relief by reducing both the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and acute suicidal thoughts. 

At Bespoke Treatment Clinics in California, we offer ketamine therapy in a safe, supervised environment to help you break free from the symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD. 

Can I Start Ketamine Therapy Without a Psychiatrist? 

Ketamine is a powerful medication that must be administered in a controlled environment under professional supervision. For this reason, your ketamine treatment at Bespoke California will start with a thorough evaluation of your medical and mental health history by a qualified healthcare provider. This assessment ensures that the ketamine therapy you receive is safe and appropriate for your specific mental health condition.

How Does Ketamine Affect the Brain? 

Ketamine affects the brain differently from traditional psychiatric medication. Most antidepressants work by gradually increasing the levels of serotonin and/or norepinephrine in the brain, which can take several weeks to impact mood significantly. Ketamine affects the brain by targeting the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor, which regulates glutamate, the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter critical for brain function and mood regulation. By stimulating glutamate activity, ketamine promotes the growth of new neural connections, helping the brain “rewire” itself, break unhealthy patterns of thought and emotional responses, and recover from the effects of depression, anxiety, or trauma more quickly.

At Bespoke Treatment Clinics in California, our expert teams use the following:

• ketamine intravenous (IV) infusions administered directly into the bloodstream for rapid effects 
• Spravato™ esketamine nasal spray  
• ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, combining ketamine with therapy sessions to enhance emotional processing.

How Quickly Can I Begin Ketamine Treatment?

The answer to this question depends on the necessary evaluations. Still, you should be able to begin treatment within a week or two after your initial consultation. Once cleared for treatment, you can schedule your first ketamine infusion or other forms of administration (such as Spravato™ nasal spray). 

Rest assured, Bespoke Treatment California prioritizes new patients and can accommodate appointments quickly.
