Ketamine Infusion Therapy - Rapid anti-depressant and powerful pain relieverKetamine for depression and mood disordersKetamine has been a safe and proven medication widely-used in hospitals and surgery centers for decades, but we are just now learning its full potential as a rapid-acting anti-depressant. Scientific studies have shown that Ketamine is a leap forward in treating challenging cases of depression and mood disorders. Contrary to traditional medications (SSRI's), Ketamine is fast acting, powerful, and has a high success rate. Patients often feel better during the infusion or the following day. This breakthrough treatment reduces depression duration and severity, suicidal thinking, and other symptoms as well as reduces symptoms, duration, and onset of mood disorders.Ketamine for chronic painKetamine infusion has also been shown to treat complex, resistant chronic pain disorders. With opioid pain medications often causing tolerance and negative side-effects, Ketamine has been …shown to reset the central pain threshold and provide long-lasting relief. Ketamine, which is also an anti-inflammatory, provides relief through different pain receptors than conventional medications leading to significant pain relief.Ketamine for addiction and substance abuseAddiction to alcohol, tobacco, or drugs causes strong neurological adaptations which are difficult for the user to overcome as they have often times persisted for years. Ketamine has been shown to significantly reduce cravings and self-administration of drugs and alcohol by helping to reset these harmful neuroadaptations.Founder and Medical Director of Yofi Ketamine ClinicDr. Javaherian and Yofi Ketamine Clinic have successfully treated challenging, treatment-resistant cases of depression, mood disorder, and chronic pain.
