KETAMINE TREATMENT CENTER

At Apex, we believe in utilizing all available treatment options including newer medications and modalities of treatment. That is why in 2019, we chose to start utilizing Ketamine Therapy for our clients.
Being the region's most experienced clinic with ketamine treatments, our experienced team has successfully treated hundreds of clients with great success. 

Approximately 1/3 of all people with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) meet the criteria for Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and often fail to respond to traditional therapies alone. The effects of Ketamine in depression and TRD are well established and based on extensive clinical research over more than 17 years. Ketamine has also been used successfully for treating other psychiatric conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Panic Disorder.

Call for your initial consultation to see if Ketamine Therapy might be an appropriate option for you. We encourage you to follow the links below and educate yourself about Ketamine. Initiating treatment with Ketamine is a more involved process than some other treatment options. Please review and decide if the process is something that is feasible for you before you schedule your consultation. Scheduling your initial consultation does not guarantee treatment with Ketamine if it is not appropriate for you or your condition.

You can be referred by your treating psychiatrist or psychiatric APRN and continue to follow-up with them while receiving treatment with Ketamine at our center. If you feel that Ketamine Therapy is a good option for you, then call our office or fill out the new evaluation form on our contact page. Please Indicate in the comment section that you are interested in Ketamine Therapy. The initial consultation fee is the same as our Psychiatric Evaluation fee unless you are already an established client. Apex's Ketamine administration fees can be found in the document below. Our fees have been designed to be approximately what a specialist's copay would be per visit. We hope that this fee schedule allows Ketamine to be obtainable by the majority of clients needing this novel treatment option.
