IV ketamine therapy is a breakthrough treatment for individuals struggling with mood disorders, chronic pain, and trauma-related conditions. At Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine in Newport Beach, CA, and San Juan Capistrano, CA, we offer IV ketamine infusions as part of our holistic, neuroscience-driven approach to mental health and emotional healing. Administered in a safe and supportive clinical environment, IV ketamine therapy has shown rapid and transformative benefits for patients who have not found relief through traditional methods.
Ketamine is a well-established anesthetic that, in low-dose intravenous (IV) form, acts on the brain’s glutamate system, an important neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation and neuroplasticity. Unlike conventional antidepressants that can take weeks to take effect, ketamine works rapidly by stimulating the growth of new neural connections and resetting dysfunctional brain circuits associated with depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
At Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine in Newport Beach and San Juan Capistrano, CA, our IV ketamine protocols are carefully monitored by experienced clinicians to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal results. Treatment is personalized based on your medical history, mental health needs, and therapeutic goals.
Ketamine therapy has gained national attention for its fast-acting relief and high success rates, especially for individuals with treatment-resistant mental health conditions. Common uses include:
IV ketamine can rapidly reduce symptoms of both major depressive disorder and bipolar depression, often within hours of treatment.
Patients with generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and social anxiety may experience a noticeable reduction in symptoms after just a few infusions.
By modulating the brain’s response to trauma, ketamine has been shown to help reprocess distressing memories and decrease emotional reactivity.
One of the most important benefits of ketamine is its ability to reduce suicidal thoughts quickly, providing critical support during mental health crises.
