Ketamine therapy is an alternative psychiatric treatment that may help people experiencing certain mental health conditions, particularly when traditional treatments have not provided sufficient relief. It is offered in several forms, including nasal spray, sublingual tablets (troches), and intramuscular injections.

Ketamine therapy may be considered for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression and suicidal ideation. It may also be used as part of treatment for conditions such as PTSD, chronic anxiety disorders, OCD, and certain types of pain. A psychiatric evaluation is important to determine whether ketamine is appropriate for you.

Psychiatric Services offers ketamine in several forms, including nasal spray, sublingual tablets (troches), and intramuscular injections. The appropriate option depends on your individual treatment needs and clinical evaluation.

Current listed pricing is approximately $50–$80 per month for ketamine nasal spray, $50–$80 per month for sublingual tablets (troches), and $150 per intramuscular injection. Pricing may vary, so patients should confirm current costs when scheduling.

Ketamine compound treatment is generally not covered by insurance at this practice. Because coverage can vary depending on the specific treatment and insurance plan, patients should discuss payment options and current costs with the office.

Ketamine has been associated with relatively rapid effects in some people, particularly in the treatment of difficult-to-treat depression. However, individual responses vary, and treatment outcomes depend on your specific condition, treatment plan, and clinical circumstances.

The best way to determine whether ketamine therapy is appropriate is through a consultation and psychiatric evaluation. Your provider can review your symptoms, previous treatments, medical history, and treatment goals before recommending an appropriate approach. You can contact Psychiatric Services in Spokane Valley to discuss whether ketamine therapy may be a suitable option for you.

Yes. The practice offers intramuscular ketamine injections rather than IV infusions. The provider notes that intramuscular injections can provide an effective alternative to IV treatment while potentially reducing treatment costs.
