What is Ketamine Therapy?

6 Sep 2023 Health Basics, Lifestyle, Mental health, Motivation, South Omaha , , , , , ,

Ketamine, typically linked to anesthesia, has risen as an innovative therapy for mental health ailments. This adaptable medication influences brain receptors to facilitate recovery and alleviate conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and various others.

How does it work? 

Ketamine operates in a distinct manner compared to conventional antidepressants. It swiftly enhances the accessibility of specific neurotransmitters, fostering the development of fresh neural connections and aiding in the resetting of brain pathways connected to mood regulation.

What are some of the advantages to Ketamine Therapy? hy Clinical Research?

  • Swift Relief: Ketamine frequently provides rapid alleviation, bringing hope to those experiencing acute distress.
  • Treatment for Resistant Conditions: It serves as a vital option for individuals who have not responded to alternative treatments.
  • Diminished Suicidal Thoughts: Ketamine can swiftly reduce suicidal ideation, offering a crucial benefit.
  • Augmented Therapy: It can enhance the outcomes of psychotherapy, promoting more effective healing.

What are some of the methods of administration?

Ketamine can be delivered through various routes, including IV and Nasal Spray. At SOMA we offer the following:

  • IV Ketamine: administered intravenously under medical supervision.
  • Nasal Ketamine (Spravato): A nasal spray designed for supervised self-administration at FDA approved sites. Supported by major insurers

															Ketamine in the Media

We like to share information on ketamine treatments when we see it pop up, especially when they involve treatments that we offer where our patients have seen great success. Recently, Today.com published a short excerpt highlighting the benefits of ketamine as a treatment for chronic resistant depression, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety. 










The episode from Today.com explores ketamine as a treatment for depression. 





The medication is considered a dissociative anesthetic and has been used for decades as a pain reliever, but more recently, it has been used to also treat depression.





According to the video, ketamine works differently from traditional antidepressants, which can take several weeks to become effective. Ketamine can work within hours or days, and helps people with treatment-resistant depression or those who have not responded to other treatments.





A recent study is cited that found that ketamine reduced suicidal thoughts in patients with depression, and also it improved mood and anxiety levels. We will note that the study’s authors caution that more research is needed as the long-term effects of ketamine on the brain are still unknown.





Many clinics, such as SOMA, offer payment options.





The video also discusses how ketamine treatment can be expensive and is not covered by insurance. We accept Care Credit, offer payment plans, and can work with you to submit claims on your own. We also work with most major insurance companies to cover Spravato© treatments.





Finally, the video includes comments from a psychiatrist who cautions that ketamine is not a “magic bullet” for depression and that patients should work with a mental health professional to determine the best treatment plan for their individual needs. 





One thing we emphasize not only to our patients but also our partnering mental health providers is that we do not replace your psychiatrist or therapist. We require a joint effort and will coordinate our treatment plans with your mental health provider to best treat you. Every care plan is unique. 










At South Omaha Medical Associates we offer a variety of ketamine treatments, including intranasal Spravato© (Esketamine) and IV ketamine. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at (531) 267-0711. We are currently accepting patients for both IV Ketamine treatments and Spravato©. We would also like to announce a second location coming soon near 144th & Center St. in Omaha NE!

We carefully monitor medical journals as well as research studies to stay up to date on what we offer our patients. Our group of medical directors uses the latest information to make sure our patient protocols are as up to date as possible. Below are some of there recent studies we have been keeping an eye one;

Nuestro grupo de directores médicos utiliza la información más reciente para asegurarse de que los protocolos de nuestros pacientes estén lo más actualizados posible. A continuación se presentan algunos de los estudios recientes que hemos estado vigilando;

Esketamine Nasal Spray Bests Quetiapine XR in Difficult-to-Treat Depression





According to this article on MPR, results have been announced from a trial phase that compared





 “the short- and long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of esketamine nasal spray to quetiapine extended-release (XR) in adults with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.”





In other words, patients who were given  Spravato® were shown to have achieved remission at week 8 and remain relapse free in the longer term up to week 32 compared to patients on Seroquel XR.










Según este artículo sobre MPR, se han anunciado los resultados de una fase de ensayo que comparó 





“la eficacia, la seguridad y la tolerabilidad a corto y largo plazo del aerosol nasal de esketamina con la liberación prolongada (XR) de quetiapina en adultos con enfermedades graves resistentes al tratamiento para desordenes depresivos.”
(traducido internamente por SOMA) 





En otras palabras, se demostró que los pacientes que recibieron Spravato® lograron la remisión en la semana 8 y permanecieron libres de recaídas a largo plazo hasta la semana 32 en comparación con los pacientes que recibieron Seroquel XR.










We are a Spravato REMS certified clinic and would be happy to help you seek treatment today. 





SPRAVATO® is the first prescription nasal spray, taken with an oral antidepressant, for:





  • Adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). In the SPRAVATO® clinical trials, TRD was diagnosed in adults who were struggling with major depressive disorder and had not responded adequately to at least two different antidepressants of adequate dose and duration in the current episode.
  • Depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts or actions










Somos una clínica certificada por Spravato® REMS y nos complacería ayudarlo a buscar tratamiento hoy.





SPRAVATO®  (eskatamine) es un medicamento recetado que se utiliza en conjunto con un antidepresivo oral para el tratamiento de: 





  • Adultos con depresión resistente al tratamiento (DRT)
  • Síntomas depresivos en adultos con trastorno depresivo mayor (TDM) con pensamientos o acciones suicidas.










Please contact us if you have any questions or check out our Spravato® information page.
