Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA | July 29, 2022 –[Press Release Wire]– Are you interested in learning more about ketamine IV infusion therapy? Dr. Leeds can serve as your ketamine consultant.
Ketamine is a medication that is classified as a psychedelic therapy agent. It is a dissociative anesthetic that can help patients to develop a new perspective on their lives.
Ketamine infusion as a form of ketamine assisted psychotherapy is now available in most regions. People suffering from chronic pain, addiction, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and other conditions may benefit from ketamine therapy.
Are ketamine physicians making patient safety a priority? Are they providing adequate therapy in addition to ketamine treatment?
The medical director, along with the psychiatry advisor, for an infusion clinic must be aware of the unique risks of treatment with psychedelics, such as ketamine. While there are not many adverse effects to be concerned over, a ketamine clinic offering ketamine infusion therapy must be fully prepared to handle any issues.
A ketamine infusion clinic may help patients who present with neuropathic pain, depressive disorder, anxiety, and a variety of mental health conditions. The antidepressant effect of ketamine is present, even with smaller dosages of the drug.
There is even an FDA-approved ketamine nasal spray used to treat severe depression. The nasal spray is only used once each week.
Patients may notice significant improvements with even a single infusion. Ketamine is the only psychedelic medicine that can be currently provided by intravenous infusion.
Since the drug does cause sedation that can last up to 24 hours, it is important that the patient have a ride home after therapy. A patient receiving treatment for a mood disorder or pain relief should make arrangements for a family member to drive them home.
How does a psychiatrist, family doctor, or internist become a ketamine doctor? How can they learn more about this unique pharmacological treatment that can be used as an alternative form of chronic pain management or treatment of depressive symptoms?
Dr. Leeds is now offering consulting services to help doctors and patients understand how ketamine infusion therapy works, and how it can be used for addiction therapy, drug withdrawal therapy, treatment resistant depression with suicidal ideation, and even treatment of complex regional pain syndrome.
When ketamine therapy is administered properly, with appropriate guidance and therapy for psychiatric disorders, it can be an excellent treatment to promote the healing process.
Traditionally, ketamine has been used for anesthesia in the hospital emergency department and for outpatient procedures. It is preferred for anesthesia for children in some institutions due to its safety profile.
If you are considering going for ketamine infusion therapy, or if you are a doctor, or nurse practitioner, thinking about getting involved in the ketamine treatment industry, Dr. Leeds can be your ketamine consultant.
