Ketamine therapy is an evidence-based treatment administered under clinical supervision, designed to support individuals facing specific mental health challenges and chronic pain disorders—particularly when traditional approaches have proven ineffective.
At Hydrate Medical, each session takes place in a tranquil, supportive environment where patients receive personalized guidance and are closely monitored throughout the process.
We frequently assist individuals coping with conditions such as persistent depression unresponsive to conventional therapies, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and various forms of chronic pain.
A referral from your primary care physician or psychiatrist is necessary to begin treatment.
Ketamine therapy is not right for everyone. Your provider reviews your health history, current medications, and referral notes to decide if this treatment is appropriate for you. Some medical and psychiatric conditions can make ketamine unsafe. Final eligibility is determined during your clinical screening. Results vary, and no specific outcome is guaranteed.

Early in the process, your care team will evaluate your progress and may modify the dosage or timing as needed. If appropriate, some patients transition to periodic maintenance sessions. With your permission, we collaborate closely with your referring clinician to ensure seamless, ongoing support.
Your well-being comes first. Each session is conducted under close supervision, with routine monitoring and proven safety procedures in place. All materials are sterile and designed for single use.
