Frequently asked questions

Ketamine acts rapidly in the brain primarily by blocking NMDA receptors, which increases glutamate release and stimulates synaptic connections (synaptogenesis), promoting rapid neural plasticity. Unlike traditional antidepressants, it disinhibits neural circuits, allowing suppressed neurons to fire, which helps break negative thought patterns and treats depression quickly.

At Lucidity Wellness, the ketamine treatment process begins with an initial interview conducted by a qualified clinician. During this session, the clinician assesses your treatment needs, reviews any potential contraindications, and addresses any questions or concerns you may have about the therapy. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment schedule is recommended to suit your specific circumstances. Once the plan is established, you will be scheduled for ketamine sessions at times that accommodate your availability, ensuring a smooth and patient-centered experience throughout your treatment journey.

Unfortunately, insurances will not cover the cost of ketamine therapy.

The cost for a single treatment is $450. For clients who prefer to purchase a recommended 6-treatment induction plan, the cost is $2,250.
