Located in the vibrant city of Athens, Georgia, the Help Specialist IV Therapy Spa provides an innovative approach to healing for individuals grappling with mood disorders and chronic pain conditions. The clinicians focus on administering Ketamine infusion therapy, a potentially transformative treatment for those who haven't found relief through traditional treatment methods. The clinic is led by the distinguished board-certified anesthesiologist, Dr. Jack Paschal, M.D., extending his services to patients from Athens, Atlanta, Gainesville, and surrounds. The Help Specialist IV Therapy Spa shines a light on the often underestimated capabilities of Ketamine therapy, with current research unlocking progressively more about its positive impact on mood disorders and chronic pain.

The team at the Help Specialist IV Therapy Spa ensures a comprehensive approach to your treatment, implementing pre-and post-treatment depression assessments and counseling. Administered over 40 minutes for mood disorder protocols, the Ketamine infusions are given at a lower dosage than in anesthetic usage, assuring that clients never lose consciousness. The clinic emphasizes that clients may experience color and time perception changes during the treatment, but the experience is generally reported as pleasant, scientifically termed a 'dissociative experience'. Post-treatment effects dissipate within a 15-30 minute window, leaving clients feeling mildly tired but essentially themselves with no delayed effects. Transportation home after treatments must be planned in advance due to this mild tiredness. The clinic carefully monitors each client's progress to deliver a comprehensive and successful treatment plan. For those who find initial relief through the Ketamine treatments, a series of infusions may be recommended for enhanced, cumulative benefits, based on the individual needs and response to initial therapy. Once the infusion series concludes, the medical team works collaboratively with the client to establish a maintenance program that extends the benefits to an optimum level. The supplemental infusion, or 'booster' frequency can vary from a few weeks to three months, with the average relief period between maintenance infusions noted at around 4-6 weeks.
