How Neuregen delivers a Uniquely comfortable, personalized, and safe Ketamine Therapy Experience.

At our Phoenix and Scottsdale accessible ketamine clinic, we specialize in providing a concierge-, spa-like-, ketamine therapy experience that is ideal for individuals hoping to create and sustain a robust shift in mental state, mood, stress-level, and perspective.  This treatment option has been demonstrated to be particularly useful for those suffering from treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and suicidal ideation (contemplation of suicide). Under the care of our experienced psychiatry-trained specialists, and consistent with current scientific research, ketamine therapy has also demonstrated benefit for symptoms associated with PTSD, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain.

What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been used in medical settings since the 1960s, primarily for anesthesia in surgery. It works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain, leading to altered perception, pain relief, and psychological changes. At sub-anesthetic doses, ketamine can produce 'psychedelic effects', which have led to its growing popularity in mental health settings.
 
Recently, there has been a surge of interest in ketamine therapy, particularly for its rapid antidepressant effects. Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to work, ketamine has been shown to provide relief from severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD within hours. This has sparked research and clinical use of ketamine infusions, nasal sprays, and even oral formulations in controlled environments, especially for treatment-resistant mental health conditions. Its promise in addressing the growing mental health crisis has driven this surge, along with increased acceptance of psychedelic-assisted therapies in general.

The Science Behind Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, has shown rapid-acting antidepressant effects that can begin within hours of administration, compared to the weeks or months typically required for conventional antidepressants to take effect.

Ketamine’s ability to promote synaptogenesis (the formation of new synapses in the brain) is particularly beneficial for brain rehabilitation, making it a promising option not only for depression but also for neuroplasticity enhancement and cognitive recovery in patients with neurological injuries or disorders. Research suggests that ketamine may help repair neural pathways disrupted by chronic stress or trauma, offering a neurobiological reset that can significantly improve mental health outcomes .

Benefits of Ketamine Therapy Under Psychiatric Care
At our clinic, ketamine therapy is administered by board-certified, licensed, psychiatry-trained providers who are trained to expertly assess and monitor mental health status. We believe that the involvement of psychiatry-trained professionals maximizes the therapeutic benefits of ketamine, reduces potential psychiatric risks, and ensures proper integration with ongoing mental health care.  Psychiatric oversight is also crucial for monitoring progress, adjusting dosages, and incorporating ketamine therapy into a holistic treatment approach that may include psychotherapy and other psychoactive medications.

Routes of Administration

We offer multiple routes of administration to ensure the most effective and personalized ketamine therapy experience:

• Intravenous (IV): IV ketamine provides for controlled and rapid delivery of the medication, often used for its immediate and profound antidepressant effects. This method allows precise dosing and is closely monitored by our providers.

• Sublingual: Sublingual administration involves placing ketamine under the tongue, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. This method avoids the use of needles (making it appealing for some) and also is suitable for concurrent psychotherapy (talk therapy), called ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) or more generally, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.   Psychotherapy is conducted by trained, boarded, and licensed psychiatric and mental health trained professionals. 

• Intramuscular (IM): IM injections provide a balance between rapid onset and ease of administration. This method is often used for patients who need a swift therapeutic response but prefer an alternative to IV infusion.
