What a Veteran Can Expect During Their First Time with Ketamine Infusion

Preparing for Your First Ketamine Session

Preparing for Your First Ketamine Session

We recommend relaxing and clearing your mind before your first session. Many clients engage in light breathwork, do yoga, or meditate before the first session, which increases their preparedness.

The Ketamine Infusion Experience

When you arrive, you will join your provider in a private room to discuss your customized treatment. Once you are ready, you may bring noise-cancelling headphones, an eye mask, and a device to listen to music while receiving treatment.

Once you begin, you may feel dissociation. As ketamine enters your bloodstream, you may experience a change in thought or emotion. You may be sensitive to external stimuli (loud noises or bright lights), and your sense of time may be altered.

Each experience differs from person to person.

Recovery and Follow-Up After Treatment

Once the treatment ends, you will gradually recover, while our provider notes your experience and lets you know when it is safe to leave. We monitor your vital signs and well-being throughout the session to ensure you remain healthy. We may also adjust the dose if needed.
