At New Hope Ketamine Clinic, we believe in providing a new avenue of hope and healing for those on their journey to mental well-being. The New Hope Ketamine Clinic is a state-of-the-art treatment center located in Deer Park, IL. Supported by a breadth of studies and clinical trials, intravenous (IV) ketamine has proven to be a valuable treatment option for many chronic diseases, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), fibromyalgia, and certain pain disorders. Historically, ketamine has been used to induce and maintain anesthesia, including procedural sedation in both children and adults. More recently, a compelling amount of evidence suggests that in sub-anesthetic doses, ketamine infusions can restore the damaged brain pathways known to cause mood disorders. Some patients achieve long-term relief after a single series of infusions, while others find that the infusions enhance their oral medications and complementary therapies. When administered in a monitored and controlled environment, studies show that ketamine does not exhibit addictive potential and may be administered on a consistent basis to sustain mental health. Suicidal thoughts tend to subside within four to 24 hours, with 70% of major depressive disorder patients responding positively to the treatment. If you feel you have exhausted all current treatment options, especially depression therapy, ketamine infusion therapy at New Hope Ketamine Clinic may be the next step for you.
