Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

After determining that Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is suitable for you, your provider will guide you through preparations for your initial treatment. Proper preparation before and integration afterward are essential for optimizing the therapeutic benefits of Ketamine. You can begin by selecting a comfortable space in your home to serve as the setting for your treatment. We recommend a cozy recliner chair, couch, or chaise lounge. Elements such as an eye mask, music, and scents can enhance your experience and will be discussed with your provider prior to your first session. You have the autonomy to tailor your experience, making adjustments as necessary with each subsequent session. Throughout your treatment, your provider will be present to support you. They will help you set intentions, address any concerns, and evaluate any changes in your status before administering the ketamine. Once you are comfortably situated, the ketamine will be administered, and the experience primarily unfolds internally with minimal interaction during the effects of the ketamine. As the effects of the ketamine subside, you will have the opportunity to engage and reflect on themes, thoughts, sensations, and more. Your provider can assist in documenting these reflections to identify recurring themes and facilitate integration both on the day of treatment and in subsequent sessions.

Your provider will be with you for the duration of  your treatment. They will help you set intentions, discuss concerns, and assess any status changes before the ketamine administration. Once you are comfortably positioned, your provider will administer your ketamine. The ketamine experience is internal in nature, and there is little interaction while you are under the effects of ketamine.

Once the ketamine starts wearing off, you have the option to engage and/or reflect on themes, thoughts, sensations, etc. experienced. Your provider can document these reflections to continue to identify themes and help integrate the experience that day and in future sessions.

Administration options

Ketamine comes in a variety of formulations.  During your initial assessment your provider will walk you through the options and help you figure out what works best for you.

Intramuscular ketamine

The ketamine is administered via a needle directly into the deltoid muscle, akin to receiving a vaccine. It is a small needle and the medication is generally well tolerated with minimal pain. Onset typically occurs within 5 minutes post-injection, with effects lasting around 45 minutes.

Sublingual ketamine

Ketamine is compounded in oral lozenges called troches (tro-keys)designed to dissolve gradually. This route of administration allows for absorption through the oral mucosa, with effects typically manifesting after approximately 15 minutes lasting about 60 minutes.
