New Life Ketamine Clinic is the first clinic in the greater Dayton area to offer Ketamine intravenous infusion therapy for the treatment of severe chronic depression. Traditional treatments, such as antidepressant medications, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes, do not always work for those who suffer from severe depression. Ketamine intravenous infusion therapy, which exhibits a 70% success rate in clinical trials, has been shown to offer almost immediate relief (with minimal, if any, side effects) to those who suffer from severe mood disorders.
