About Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine therapy represents a breakthrough in treating depression that hasn't responded to traditional medications. At CPS, we offer both IV ketamine infusions and Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray under medical supervision.

Unlike traditional antidepressants that take 4–6 weeks to work, ketamine can produce noticeable improvement in mood within hours to days. It works through a different brain pathway (glutamate/NMDA) than conventional medications, offering hope for the estimated 30% of depression patients who don't respond to standard treatment.

Our ketamine program includes medical screening, supervised administration sessions, and integration with ongoing therapy and medication management at CPS.
