What to Expect at a Psychiatry Practice

At a psychiatry practice, ketamine therapy is part of a comprehensive psychiatric treatment plan. Your psychiatrist will evaluate your full medication history and mental health background before recommending ketamine. Some practices administer IV ketamine on-site, while others prescribe Spravato or sublingual ketamine. The advantage of a psychiatry setting is that your prescriber can adjust your broader medication regimen alongside ketamine treatment.
