Lubbock Integrative Medical Associates is a beacon of hope for individuals grappling with persistent pain and mood disorders in Lubbock, Texas. This pioneering clinic specializes in ketamine infusion therapy, providing a lifeline to those dealing with treatment-resistant conditions by helping them reclaim control over their health. Under the seasoned leadership of Dr. Stephen Dalton, Lubbock Integrative Medical Associates has set itself apart as one of the handful of clinics within the West Texas area registrered with the American Society of Ketamine Physicians. Dr. Dalton and his dedicated team approach patient care holistically - tackling not just the visible symptoms but the root cause of the various conditions.

The team at LIMA strongly believes in a patient-centered approach to care. Each ketamine infusion therapy session is meticulously tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual patient. These sessions typically take place in an out-patient office setting, within the privacy of individual rooms. Lounging in a comfortable reclining chair, patients can expect their infusion to last for approximately one hour. An additional 15-30 minutes are generally set aside before departure, allowing patients enough time to relax and regroup. New patients are especially advised to have someone accompany them for their first visit. In addition, LIMA encourages patients to enjoy their favorite music during treatment, boosting relaxation and positive experiences. Patients should be aware that they may experience a temporary sense of altered reality, which most find non-threatening or even enjoyable. Rarely, if a patient does find this unsettling, the team is readily equipped to immediately stop the infusion or administer medication to counter any discomfort. A designated driver is necessary after each session as patients are not allowed to drive until the next day. The patient's journey at LIMA does not end with the infusion; it marks the beginning of an individualized maintenance program designed to cater to their needs and ensure the long-term success of their treatment.
