Harper Clinic is one of only a few centers in Utah offering ketamine infusion therapy, bringing revolutionary science to help a number of treatment-resistant mental health disorders and chronic pain conditions. Many of our patients are finding long-term relief after just 1-2 sessions, making ketamine therapy an effective option for anyone who isn´t getting results from traditional medicine.
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that supports the growth of new neural connections in key regions of the brain responsible for motivation, emotional processing, and memory. It produces a rapid effect to help patients with treatment-resistant depression and other health conditions. Ketamine treatment was approved by the FDA in 2019 and has a success rate of over 60%.
Under medical supervision, an IV drip will be placed in the arm and administer small doses of ketamine throughout the session. This will induce a hypnotic-like state, making it easier to work through emotional distress and heal from pain. Vitals will be monitored and each infusion lasts about 40 minutes. The short, but intense experience, can help patients gain insights about their emotions, cognition, motivation, and behavior.
