KETAMINE ASSISTED THERAPY PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL

At Allay Health & Wellness clinic, we offer a slightly different treatment modality, with the same end goal – substantial and long-lasting relief of symptoms.  Our clients receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of ketamine for over forty minutes to one hour. Infusions are administered in our clinic, and the client is invited to relax and listen to music, watch TV, or take advantage of ketamine assisted therapy (talk therapy) with a clinical psychologist during their treatment.

Why choose a ketamine infusion in Palm Beach Gardens? 

At Allay Health and Wellness, we offer intravenous (IV) ketamine infusion therapy, which is a more effective and efficient method of administering medication than intranasal administration. When medications are delivered directly into the bloodstream via IV, they have 100% bioavailability and begin working almost instantly. The dose or speed of the medication can also be adjusted mid-infusion, allowing for fine-tuning and customization of the treatment to the individual's needs.

In contrast, intranasal administration of medications can be less effective and less efficient. The amount of medication that is absorbed can vary greatly, and there is no way to adjust the dose if the patient experiences unpleasant or undesirable effects. Patients receiving intranasal ketamine must also remain in their provider's office for at least two hours after administration.

At Allay Health and Wellness, our clients report returning to their baseline status within 10-15 minutes after infusion, as the effects of the medication subside rapidly once the infusion is discontinued. We are committed to providing our clients with the most effective and efficient treatment options available.

At Allay Health and Wellness, we value the importance of building a relationship with our patients. We believe that by taking the time to get to know you and understand your unique situation, we can provide the most effective and personalized treatment to help you on your journey to wellness.

Why is a ketamine infusion therapy in Palm Beach Gardens better than regular psychotherapy?

Most psychotherapy in the United States follows a formula driven by best treatment practices with empirically supported outcomes such as CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and/or talk therapies. These approaches to therapy work with aspects of thinking and behavior that are observable, linear, and measurable. This established generation of psychotherapies provides a compact, symptom management approach. Symptom management is a utilitarian approach to remediating disabling emotional symptoms. It has a secure niche in an essentially disease driven model for treating emotional illnesses.

However, at our ketamine clinic in Florida, we currently have the ability to go much deeper by combining entheogenic medications with standard therapies. The synergism resulting from this therapeutic partnership offers the potential for a more powerful and  lasting impact.

What you should know is that ketamine stimulates regions of the brain that allow the brain to form new pathways for learning. Concurrent therapist involvement fosters the client’s ability to problem-solve, and accelerates the development of alternative healthy coping skills both during and after the infusion These essential living skills are missed when there is no psycho-therapeutic engagement during ketamine therapy. Our approach to Ketamine Assisted Therapy in Palm Beach Gardens engages the client’s inner dialogue so that it becomes an active process which leads to a coherent outcome.  This is why we promote therapeutic guidance as a crucial component to ketamine therapy.

What other therapies do we use during ketamine infusion in Palm Beach County?

The contemporary modalities utilized during Ketamine Assisted Therapy at Allay Health and Wellness include Experiential and Solution Focused therapies.

Experiential therapy involves re-experiencing trauma, or some troubling disowned aspect of one’s personality often attributed to faulty learning, or a counterproductive lifestyle. Patients are encouraged to face their fears, or sorrow and connect these rising emotions to a climax of crystalline awareness. Process work allows the individual to examine the cause of their symptoms without the defenses which have kept them igneous or frozen.

Solution focused therapy defines problems and examines goals that may lead to solutions. The therapies utilized are client-centered, and the client remains the problem solver.  Experiential and Solution Focused therapies become greatly amplified under the influence of ketamine. Thus, individuals have the ability to go much deeper, and much quicker than with standard therapies alone. The essence of the work occurs in the non-linear realm of pre-consciousness. Ketamine’s chemistry-of-action gives the user access to parts of the central nervous system, which most FDA approved medications for emotional illness do not.
