At The Menninger Clinic, the choice between an in-patient stay enriched with numerous amenities and engaging outpatient services is wholly yours.

By employing ketamine therapy in its arsenal of treatments, long-lasting relief is not just a promise but a commitment, enabling patients to feel understood and acknowledged on a human level.

Prior to commencing treatment, the Menninger Clinic ensures a comprehensive assessment that involves a detailed physical and mental evaluation, an Electrocardiogram (EKG), and additional tests, if necessary. Administering ketamine, either via an infusion or as a nasal spray, is closely supervised by the clinic’s adept team. Should it be an infusion, a nursing staff member will insert an Intravenous (IV) line either in your hand or arm, mediating the dispensation of ketamine. Complemented by monitoring sensors and a blood pressure cuff, the treatment team vigilantly tracks each patient's status throughout the infusion, which generally spans about 40 minutes. Post-treatment, a member of the medical team ensures you are stable and fit to exit the treatment suite. A standard course of ketamine therapy for depression typically includes six treatments, spaced 2-3 times per week, while for PTSD, it is generally 1-2 treatments administered 2-3 days apart. However, the clinic tailors its approach to suit each individual's unique needs, thus, the number of treatments may vary.
