When it comes to profound depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), many people just can't get relief from current treatments
Now there's more evidence than ever before that the anesthetic ketamine has potential as a fast-acting treatment for depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with very few side effects. Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic that has been used in humans for over 50 years. In low doses, it is effective in treating depression by blocking the NMDA glutamate receptor. It has a more rapid effect in alleviating symptoms, sometimes within hours, compared to more standard medications such as SSRIs which can take many weeks to months to begin to take effect.
While Ketamine treatments are our backbone, the services we offer at True North Wellness Center extend far beyond the normal routine of an outpatient doctor’s procedure. Our in-house coaches guide you every step of the way through the experience and we have a vast network of professionals to enhance and tailor your session from acupuncturists, hypnotherapists, trained low-dose Ketamine facilitated therapists and so much more.
We offer a unique atmosphere, coupled with relaxing music, massage mats, aromatherapy, and proprietary post treatment maintenance programs specifically designed to enhance the healing process and continue awakening your mind.
