Ketamine Treatment

Ketamine Treatment: A Breakthrough Approach for Mental Health and Recovery

Ketamine treatment is a cutting-edge therapeutic option offering hope and relief for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorders. At Around the Block Healthcare, we provide safe, evidence-based ketamine therapy in a compassionate, supportive environment.

What is Ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine is a fast-acting medication originally used as an anesthetic, but in recent years, it has emerged as a highly effective treatment for mental health and substance use challenges. Administered in low doses under medical supervision, ketamine works by rapidly restoring neural connections in the brain that can become disrupted by chronic mental health conditions or addiction.

Conditions Ketamine Therapy Can Help Address

Relief from Depression

Ketamine has been shown to provide rapid and significant relief for individuals suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD) and treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Many patients experience noticeable improvement within hours or days, even when other therapies have failed.

Anxiety and PTSD

By modulating activity in the brain, ketamine can reduce symptoms of severe anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), allowing individuals to regain control over their mental health.

Substance Use Recovery

Ketamine is increasingly recognized as a powerful tool in addiction treatment. It can help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and assist in addressing the underlying mental health factors that contribute to substance use disorders.

How Does Ketamine Work?

  • Ketamine operates differently from traditional antidepressants by targeting the brain’s glutamate system. This mechanism promotes:
  • Rapid Symptom Relief: Effects can be felt within hours, unlike traditional medications that may take weeks to show results.
  • Neuroplasticity: Encourages the brain to form new, healthy connections that improve mood, cognition, and resilience.
  • Emotional Reset: Helps reduce the severity of intrusive thoughts, depressive episodes, and cravings.

What to Expect from Your Ketamine Treatment at Around the Block Healthcare?

Comprehensive Evaluation

Your journey begins with a thorough assessment by our experienced providers to determine if ketamine therapy is right for you.

Personalized Treatment Plans

We customize each treatment to your unique needs, including dosage, frequency, and combination with other therapies like counseling or medication management.

Safe and Monitored Administration

Ketamine is administered in a controlled, comfortable setting by our trained medical professionals. We closely monitor your experience to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Ongoing Support

Following your sessions, our team provides follow-up care to track your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. We may also combine ketamine therapy with counseling, behavioral therapies, or other support services to maximize results.

Who Can Benefit from Ketamine Therapy?

  • Ketamine therapy may be an excellent option for individuals who:
  • Have not found relief from traditional antidepressants or therapies.
  • Experience severe depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, or chronic anxiety.
  • Are seeking help with recovery from substance use disorders.
  • Struggle with symptoms of PTSD or other mood disorders.

Take the First Step Toward Relief

If you or a loved one are seeking an innovative and effective solution for depression, anxiety, PTSD, or substance use recovery, ketamine therapy may be right for you. Contact us today to learn more or schedule a consultation..

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation): A Non-Invasive Solution for Depression and Beyond

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a revolutionary treatment for individuals battling depression and other mental health conditions, especially when traditional therapies have not been effective. At Around the Block Healthcare, we offer cutting-edge TMS therapy in a safe, supportive environment to help you regain control of your mental health.

What is TMS Therapy?

TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. This treatment is particularly effective for conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety, and it is FDA-approved for depression that has not responded to medication or talk therapy.

How Does TMS Work?

Targeted Brain Stimulation

During a TMS session, a magnetic coil is placed gently on the scalp, delivering focused pulses to the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain associated with mood control.

Neuroplasticity Activation

These magnetic pulses stimulate neural activity, encouraging the brain to form new, healthier connections. Over time, this can reduce symptoms of depression and other mental health challenges.

Non-Invasive and Painless

Unlike other treatments, TMS does not require anesthesia, surgery, or recovery time. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately after each session.

Who Can Benefit from TMS?

  • TMS therapy is highly effective for individuals who:
  • Have treatment-resistant depression (failed to find relief with medications or traditional therapies).
  • Experience anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or PTSD.
  • Are seeking a non-medication alternative for mental health treatment.
  • Cannot tolerate the side effects of antidepressants or other psychiatric medications.

What to Expect During TMS Treatment

Initial Consultation

Your provider will perform a comprehensive assessment, including your medical history, to determine if TMS is right for you.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Each treatment plan is customized based on your specific needs and condition. A typical course includes daily sessions (Monday through Friday) for 4-6 weeks, with each session lasting 20-40 minutes.

Relaxed, Outpatient Procedure

During a session, you’ll sit in a comfortable chair while the TMS device delivers gentle magnetic pulses. You may feel a tapping sensation on your scalp, but the procedure is painless and does not require sedation.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support

Throughout your treatment, we closely monitor your progress, making adjustments as needed to ensure optimal results.

Advantages of TMS Therapy

  • Non-Invasive: No surgery or needles required.
  • Minimal Side Effects: Most patients experience only mild scalp discomfort or headache, which typically resolves quickly.
  • Fast-Acting Relief: Many individuals notice improvements in mood and energy within a few weeks.
  • Long-Lasting Results: TMS promotes sustained relief from depression and other conditions by addressing underlying neural dysfunction.
