Ketamine Treatment

Our ketamine treatments are flexible. They are designed to meet your individual needs and goals to best support your healing journey.

Your ketamine experience can range from:

• Three sessions with two practitioners which include Preparation and Integration Sessions
• A single treatment session, including preparation and integration. You may choose to engage in healing without a therapist.
• 12 SPRAVATO® Sessions that last 120 minutes each. SPRAVATO® is a branded form of ketamine available for clients with treatment-resistant depression.

During Ketamine Sessions, short-term changes in your state of consciousness can help you feel connected with your inner healing capacity and enhance your ability to meaningfully engage in therapy. You may be able to process strong emotions and memories that may otherwise be too painful or difficult to access. The experience can help you experience personal breakthroughs that may resolve some of the root causes of mental health conditions.

Ketamine can be administered by intramuscular injection (IM), nasal sprays, and rapid dissolving tablets. Your team will work with you to determine which option is right for you. Each time ketamine is administered, your response will be closely monitored. We also offer SPRAVATO®.

The physical and emotional effects of ketamine will differ from person to person; however, common experiences include:

• Altered states of consciousness and feeling separated from reality
• Disruption of negative feelings
• A dream-like or “floating” sensation
• Relaxation of ordinary concerns and usual mindset
• A sense of euphoria
• A dream-like or “floating” sensation
• An altered sense of time (losing track of time; time slowing down or speeding up)
• Diminished or altered body sensations; some people may have an “out-of-body” experience, where awareness of the physical body is reduced
• Tunnel vision, or seeing things through a fog
• Pain reduction
• Mild changes in perceptions of sounds and sights

It is also possible to have uncomfortable feelings as suppressed traumas arise. Safety and care are the top priorities of our team members, and your practitioners will be there to support you as you navigate any challenging experiences.

Our rooms for Ketamine Sessions have been intentionally designed to ensure your comfort and support your journey. You may choose to be in a reclined or semi-reclined position, wear eyeshades, and listen to music to enhance the experience.

Ketamine treatment is an innovation in mental health care, but because it is still new, it is currently an uninsured medical service; however, if you have a private insurance provider, you may be able to claim some session types and medications. We will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the costs for each service. Medical visits are covered by public health care plans in Canada.  For additional pricing information, contact us at 1-833-NUMINUS (686-4687) or book a call.

Our ketamine treatment offerings are flexible and are designed to meet your individual needs and goals and best support you on your healing journey. Though we offer many options for our ketamine treatments, there is no need to feel overwhelmed in making your choice; our clinical team will help you to decide what form of treatment will best meet your current needs and healing goals.

Our treatment options include:

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

Ketamine-assisted therapy combines structured therapy with the medical administration of ketamine. When used in controlled doses, ketamine is a medicine that can cause altered states of consciousness. Recent research has shown that, when combined with forms of therapy by trained mental health professionals, these psychedelic experiences can enable some individuals to overcome a broad range of mental health challenges, ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction and trauma. In the context of ketamine-assisted therapy, the aim is to harness the openness of this altered state by combining it with structured therapy to engage with and process strong emotions that may otherwise be painful or simply difficult to access.

Working on this emotional awareness with your therapist may then make it possible to ‘reorganize’ core experiences, see important relationships in a new light, and create a coherent and meaningful narrative that supports changes in behaviours and thought patterns.  The Standard Program includes two Preparation Sessions, three Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Sessions, three Integration Sessions, and a Closing Session; an Introductory Program with one Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Session is also available.

Ketamine Treatment

We also offer ketamine medicine as a standalone treatment, without one-to-one preparation and integration with a therapist. This is ideal for clients with therapy experience who are well supported in the community. Here, we allow you to build your own healing program with the assistance of our clinical team. You can choose between several session types to meet your current needs and healing goals. At the core of this program are Ketamine Sessions; in these sessions, you are given ketamine under medical supervision, but your experience is not guided by a therapist. You may also choose to add in Preparation or Integration Sessions with a therapist to better support you through your experience. This journey is entirely customizable, and our clinic staff will help you to design an individual program that will work best for you. You can always switch things up as you go along, adding in more sessions if you feel the need for further support.
